CVS

J’adore CVS !!! For the following reasons:
1)It is open 24hrs
2)One stop to everything you need… soap, medicine, girl stuff.
3) there is an urgent clinic (most insurance accepted)
4) It has a photo center.
5) there is redbox
The list goes on but those are my top five.

BEWARE, this Pharmacy DOES NOT REPORT TO INSURANCE COMPANIES! When you give them your insurance card you would think that they are processing your insurance information but they do not. I found out through my insurance nothing had been reported. After I found out, I approached them with the issue; their lame excuse was that I missed the 14day window. So they basically said tough luck and then gave me a dirty look like I was a criminal.
For public record the person who processed my prescription was Marisa Cashier#1 327 238 and the other person was Cashier#21, yes this happened TWICE! Not my friendly local pharmacist anymore! #jerks
This sound about right:
Lawsuit accuses CVS of overcharging customers for prescription drugs

Love the location is very convenient for me. How can you go wrong with 24hr Pharmacy!!! They used to have one across the street that was really outdated, they closed it down three months ago. The store is always packed, clean and organized. The staff is helpful and knowledgable. One of the manager a tall older man is so nice and welcoming. Am giving it 4 stars because one situation I had with another manager that works on Mondays morning who loves to make people’s lives miserable. a Monday morning I came to return a item with the receipt of purchase, usually when u have you receipt the money will go back to your Bank taking a few days to show up. I buy at cvs almost everyday day so I ask him to give me a store credit instead. Omg that was so confusing for him, he made a whole ordeal and literally I just told him. What happens if I don’t have the receipt? He said I’ll give you a store credit so I told him give me back my receipt, so I can get store credit. He still couldn’t understand. I had to go to work could not waste my time with this nonsense. At the end of the day Went to the CVS around my job and everything went smooth got the store credit. Went back he next day and shopped like a maniac, with my $ 16. Lol

Had to come write a review and give a big thank you to the assistant manager Diego. I an a couponer so need bulk of items. I called diego to hold 20 items for me and he called me back like he promised and held them for me :) went to pick them up and two cashiers helped me they were very nice one was nicole and the other didnt catch her name :(but both very nice! Never have a problem with the employees here

The customer service and general vibe has taken a turn since the other CVS was shut down. They should hire more people and train the people they have on how to be a bit friendlier.

I love that it’s open all the time! Has a great variety of everything you could need.

There are few issues with this place:
1. They need more cashiers;
2. I happened to have rude pharmacy assistant (around 9pm shift on 4.17.15 not the one who filled it, but the one on the register). People come to pharmacy sick, they don’t need more negative vibes from you, fat b*tch! Besides there is so many other pharmacies, so next time I need a prescription, I’m not coming back.
3. Overall policy of not giving discounts on the spot but printing outrageously long receipts is failure.

pharmacy and staff are great services very nice and there is some staff that help if you need something.

Serves its purpose.

This pharmacy is a freaking joke. The «pharmacist» on the weekend isn’t authorized to order medication, so if your prescription is not in stock at the time, you will have to come back when the authorized pharmacist is here, which is weekdays from 9:30 to 4:30. Because everyone is available then. Also, expect to wait 4x the time they tell you. It will be completely empty, with 6 «pharmacy techs» working behind the counter, and you will still wait an hour. Because moving pills from the big bottle to the little bottle is really difficult and tedious work! I would suggest ANY pharmacy over this one. This is the third visit they have completely infuriated me. I will not be returning ever again.

What can I say it’s a chain store that has a little bit of everything, well almost everything. Helpful staff

This CVS is always clean and well-​stocked (unlike its sister store across the intersection). I have never had any issues here. Staff is pretty helpful.

Always a damn problem to get my medication or my daughters medication! This place is full of idiots. You need to hire professionals! This one Indian lady you have working for you always has issues finding my medicine or my profile! Get with it people!

This location is clean and well stocked. The employees are friendly and helpful. If I need something from the drugstore this is my spot. In a pinch they sell milk as well…

This is my favorite CVS location in Astoria. Not only is it open ²⁴⁄₇. I feel like they have better deals than other CVS stores.
Going after work gets pretty busy with all the long lines, but they move pretty fast. I think the store is clean and you can easily find what you are looking for. It’s also bigger than other ones I have been to.

I love this store. It’s open ²⁴⁄₇. Great sales. Pharmacy staff very friendly and professional.

At one point this was the CVS to avoid. Bad service coupled by messy aisles and general shelf sloppiness made my previous visits ones that were out of desperation. Over time, things have surprisingly changed for the better and now CVS isn’t as terrible as before. Things like:
* Re-​arranged aisles: Instead of a cramped experience, they’ve managed to take advantage of the spacious interior to make for wider aisles and improved layout.
* Self-​checkout: Introverts and people not keen on the service can now scan their own items and head on out. Big time win.
* Improved service: They’ve likely not only overhauled the previous staff, but the fact it’s 24 hours means they have more staff for different shifts. I always felt like the others here were either sleep deprived or overworked or both, resulting in some really crabby attitudes.
* Competition: This isn’t the only CVS nearby, as there is one practically across the street. However, this location is larger and tends to have more folks running around to work. Striving for excellence means outdoing your sister competition.

For what it is, it’s great.
Self-​check out is a breeze, and if it’s not they always have someone stationed there.
It is what it is, but it’s handy, clean, and the staff is fairly consistently knowledgable and really nice.

The self check-​outs are bit on the annoying side. They definitely need to hire more cashiers (especially with the neighborhood experiencing such a huge boom as of late). Prices are reasonable and holy moly — All of the coupons. I wouldn’t dream of shopping at this CVS without a 20% or $ 4 off $ 20 coupon, they give them out like candy.
The pharmacy staff is pretty good. Per the standard they are always a bit backed logged during the peak after work rush during the week, but otherwise satisfactory.

Good lord. Did I really check into this CVS? Okay, I did. It’s in my hood and it’s 24 hours.
So this place is A-​OK. Just like the description says. The service is fine. The place is kind of messy all the time though. What’s up with that? Anyway, during the day it’s usually always kind of hot messy because I never feel they put adequate staffing up at the checkout counter. Kind of drag.
Also, all you gay boys in the area, hit me up. I see you in there. Thanks!
