CVS Pharmacy

Need a CVS to pick up a couple of things during race weekend at Sonoma Raceway. CVS is CVS!

This is my favorite pharmacy. I have been shopping here for 30 years back when it was Longs. A few of the staff members have become friends. I often use the photo center. Carmen one of the staff members would say your pictures are ready. I like that.

Okay, I’m done patronizing the Northgate CVS. Went in yesterday afternoon to pickup 2 items and again not only aren’t there enough employees on the register’s, but they’re incredibly slow and have no sense of urgency, talking everyone up!!! Most of the time, they’re unaware of sale items to the point where I had to wait a couple of weeks ago till the cashier walked to the back of the store to confirm the pricing on a can of peanuts that I corrected her on. I or anyone else shouldn’t have to continue checking the cashiers to make sure they’re doing there job correctly. At times it seems like «Bait and Switch». CVS, get your act together.

Huge line every time I’m here. I dread this place like the plague, let’s hope I don’t actually catch the plague while I wait in line!
Last time I had to pick up a script the line was huge and there were only 2 employees working. While I’m waiting in line I notice they call out a last name. The person whose name was called comes running from the front of the store back to the pharmacy, goes to the front of the line and pays. I’m standing in line with about 8 other folks. Not cool!!! They call names out when scripts are ready but there is no separate check out for them, therefore they get in front of everyone in line! Terrible system! The entire line was furious every time this happened.
When I finally got my turn I politely asked for the manager. Nora came out from the back. I told her what was happening, how long I had waited and that the only reason I was here today was because I came in the day before on my lunch break and had to leave without scripts because the line took too long. I told her I felt bad for the 2 employees working, they were so stressed.
Nora proceeded to tell me that she is fully aware of the problem and hates it. She went on to say that the store currently has HALF the staff it did two years ago because the owner won’t hire more help, he’s too cheap!!!
I thanked her for her honesty and told her to hang in there!
So, there you have it. The owner doesn’t care so it won’t improve. Very sad. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

Worst pharmacy ever. Constant phone calls telling you your prescription is ready, followed by trip to store to learn it is not ready, followed by long wait to fill and another long line to pick up. Do yourself a favor, go to Rite Aid.

They know my name — always smile very professional — never a bad experience– George at the count always asks how I’m doing — just love it at CVS!!!

The people working in the pharmacy at this CVS are all incompetent buffoons, many of whom cannot even speak English. This scenario has happened every time I have gone to pick up a prescription here: they call and say that a prescription is ready. I drive down, only to find out that it will not be ready for another hour. I return an hour later, only to discover that it is still not ready! Never again will I return here. Avoid this CVS at all costs!

CVS actually has some big bottles beers available. saw a full rack of valentine’s cards (popular for some reason).
meds not reasonably priced
buys:
–amazon «piña colada» virgin cocktail (.69)
has frutose, cream of coconut
very sweet, 20 grams sugar per serving, 50 gms total
–Marin «Mt. tam pale ale» (3.99)
5.5% alc, slight hoppiness, worth the price.

*this cvs cooler than others, so 4 stars.

The CVS pharmacy is incredible. My husband and I are in love with the place. The pharmacy staff is beyond helpful and patient. The store also gives CVS bucks which can really add up. This program consistently saves us money almost every time we purchase something. We had used Rite Aid and Walgreens for years before this CVS opened, and it was always a miserable experience with cranky unhelpful employees and long lines. If you submit an Rx that is not stocked at CVS they will call you and tell you. Walgreens just lets you keep checking and saying it’s not ready yet, and you find out after 3 weeks, a 30 minute wait on the phone, and requesting to speak to a manager, that they do not carry the drug. Love CVS!

I’ve been loyal to Walgreens for so long, but I don’t remember the last time I got a coupon on my receipt. Grr.
My husband needed to fill a scrip at CVS, so I tagged along and decided to check if CVS carries LaRoche Posay with Mexoryl. Yes!!! No need to go to the Canadian pharmacy, lol.
CVS, I am glad I have you and the ExtraCare card.

They have everything here! Everywhere I’ve moved, CVS has supplied me with all I needed to survive.
