CVS/pharmacy

* NOT RECOMMENDED — The folks at the pharmacy department fail at a very simple task: fill your prescriptions in a timely manner. It is totally unacceptable, especially when you rely on your meds. I am not talking about coming back in 2 – 4 hours to pick them up. They will take days and even up to two weeks to take care of something simple as to counting a handfull of pills. «Sorry, we are busy»…this is their lame excuse. Unless you call them to remind them at least a handful of times, they will not fill your prescriptions. They seem to be good at gossiping amongst themselves. They lack professionalism. There is no sense of urgency here. I blame both the clueless interns, and the pharmacists who are in charge back there. CVS, we could do way better than this, if you actually care about customer service.

I like it, the pharamsits are very good at helping me.

This is probably the worst cvs pharmacies I’ve ever been to, but the location is convenient to where I get picked up after work so I keep coming back. I’ve had trouble getting prescriptions filled there many times. Last week I was diagnosed with bronchitis, and I had the urgent care center send the prescriptions electronically since I knew it would take me an hour to get there and the pharmacy is always busy. They didn’t even acknowledge that the prescriptions arrived, and they acted like I crazy. Only when I left the store and gone somewhere else did they call me to say they had the prescriptions and that it would take another 25 minutes to fill them. It makes me think they had the prescriptions all the time.

It’s a CVS. Nothing more nothing less. Staff does what they need to. The store carries what they need to. Pharmacy will fill your prescriptions.
And just like every other CVS, you get a 3 foot long receipt with every purchase.

The location is more cluttered and disheveled than a standard CVS. There are often empty shelves, boxes in the aisles, and the aisles are smaller than most places.
The service is better than most NYC CVS locations. There are normally three or so employees in the front.

Nothing special or horrible to report; it’s a basic store.
Although the added touch of having an employee greet you at the door and say goodbye add well it’s a nice touch.
As of now, the store closes at 10 PM. Must be a staffing issue…

Always helpful and professional staff. Self-​checkout provides alternative to lines, which can be long. Welcoming atmosphere from greeter at door to every employee, wonderful!

So, there is no point of filing a Civil Suit for very small claims because in this case all I could be reimbursed was my copay, but the Better Business Bureau was able to rectify the situation. I eventually received a call and was told I would be refunded my copay and be given a $ 25 gift card.
Trying to get the gift card was a whole other issue I don’t feel like writing about. Overall I don’t plan on ever going back again.

Your average CVS. Nothing special here.

My problem at this location is with the photo finishing. I have ordered photos three times and each time the photos have been late or the equipment is down. Very frustrating!

Pharmacy staff is excellent and the store itself is a good place to shop. I wish I could remember the name of the young woman who helped me last time because she deserves special praise. Very helpful.
One quibble I have is the checkout. Is there one line? Two lines? One for self checkout and one for the human cashier? It’s a very inefficient layout. I’ve seen an argument more than once about linecutting in the store because customers are confused about who is waiting for the cashier and who is waiting to use the self checkout. Management needs to make the checkout area more organized.

Shelves empty, mess on the aisles and long check out lines pretty much sums up this CVS.
The employees can be clueless and rude at times. There’s always boxed product or supplies on the aisles. When there’s a sale, don’t expect there to be stock as they’re usually empty.
I love the self check-​out lanes, but it’s always a mess trying to get to one.
The good news is that they extended the store hours from 10pm to 12am.

One of the best cvs.

I shop at CVS all the time, but this is my least favorite location. A lot of the items I want or on sale on the circular ads not available at the shelves. I’m not sure whether this has to do with their busy location or their failure to stock the shelves properly.
All the ladies here are helpful and friendly, except for one Indian man that looks like the manager/​owner. He refuses to scan a lot of my coupons and claims they won’t go through when I’m able to use them at other CVS locations. I wish they gotten rid of him as he’s not very ethical person, but I highly doubt that’ll happen anytime soon.

About damn time they added a row of self-​checkout machines here! This is the first place I’ve seen so far that the registers consist mostly of self-​checkout machines. They did some renovations a few months back. They got rid of the long counter that had multiple cash registers and only 1 cashier on duty. They finally added these machines and it’s much more efficient. The lines here use to stretch to the back of the isle. By adding the row of self-​checkout machines, I must say job well done! No longer do I have to watch a stupid cashier try and figure out the change or count money for that matter.

Conveniently this CVS sits near the Kew Gardens Union Turnpike E, F station. I would patronize this particular CVS location at least once a week, of a past residence for many years in the eye of Forest Hills, but recent visit has baffles me as it has not changed. Disorganized stock, empty merchandise on hooks to expose space, merchandise heavily plastered on floor. Hair care products are minimal selection. Further the line moves like a snail as customers are waiting an eternity to be served at check-​out.

Now, I understand that its just a drug store… but I would rather take a bus to a different location.
It was on the way home from Forest Hills so i stopped in to get some cold remedies. The store was extremly unorganized and cluttered. The items in the aisles have no real rhyme or reason… they are just there to be there. I found a display case of theraflu where the feminie hygiene products were and walked over two aisles to the actual cold remedies. I dont think people generally shop impulsively for theraflu while trying to get some lady products… that just doesnt make sense. Now, if there was chocolate there… that would make more sense.
The card aisle was in disarray. Mismatching envelopes. Sympathy cards next to wedding cards… that could be a fluke but still.
The cash register area is a MESS. There were open bags of chips and cookies, probably being snacked on by the cashier (big No No) and piles and piles of stuff on the counter behind her.
There is another drug store by my apartment and even though the lines are long, the place is neat and clean which is much more appealing.

Now I love CVS especially since I’m from the South and I’ve never heard of Duane Reade until I relocated to the North. However, this has to be one of the worst CVS stores that I have ever been to. The store is disorganized. There are products that needed to be added back to the shelf. The lines are long, even with self-​checkout service. The cashier is not friendly at all and I almost missed out on the chance to get my extra care bucks because he did not want to enter my phone number into the system. Overall, had a negative experience and its likely that I will not return to this location. Duane Reade, here I come!

I recently switched to CVS pharmacy and I’m very happy with their service. You can register online and then just click click order your refills and pick them up when you specify. When I drop off a new prescription they often can fill it within 10 or 15 minutes.
Join the extracare club and you will get tons of coupons. Love the self-​checkouts also.

I like this CVS because its at a prime location for me. Its right next tot he station and a block away from my gym so I pass it at least 5 times a week.
They always have the newest, latest products. When they have a sale boy is it a GOOD sale (don’t ever buy anything there if its not on sale). They have a great rewards systems with those Extra Bucks.
This CVS aside from being at a great location and having the latest products and the great rewards program is also newly remodeled with self check out’s WHICH I LOVE!
The store is really clean and again the offer a variety of goods for great sometimes free prices WHEN ON SALE!!! Do not try to go in there unless you know exactly what it is you are going to buy and more importantly if its on sale!!!
What I hate about this CVS are the employees. Well not all for those that stumble upon this review. There are some nice ones. Mostly the younger employees are really nice. You know the ones that don’t act like they own the store and every product in there was purchased with the money their dead mother left them.
The ones I can’t stand and avoid AT ALL COSTS are the older emplyees!!! I am SOOOOO thankful for those Self Check-​Out lanes. I creep in there like the uni-​bomber and slither away with my goods. The self check outs are AMAZING should you ever need to buy embarrassing goods like an enema or hemorrhoid cream.
The manager on the night shift the one that dresses like he’s about to go into a conference at Forbes is such an effing douchebag. And those miserable ladies working there are well… miserable. Minus one lady who I think is a manager and helped me with my coupons once. She is always behind the double sided mirrors upstairs. She’s nice.
Oh, I’ve recently begun couponing (IT SAVES A LOT OF MONEY) and they will take my coupons on days they feel like taking them. They wont take print out coupons from
they said they have to be originals. I damn near threw the stupid dental floss at that idiots face.
Oh and WTF at Unilocal filtering my review for Floris Naila nd Spa. Like dude it was my first massage and it was amazing. I loved it. Deal with it. I don’t work there.
