CVS Pharmacy

This is a typical cvs nothing special no bells and whistles. They have a nice size parking lot that’s free, in the day it’s easier to find parking in the lot vs trying to find parking in the night. They have everything you need from a photo center to Medicines they even have alittle cold section for milk, beer and foods like wraps and salad (don’t look appetizing). For convenience they have express lines which has to be fixed cause the machines are never working properly and the express line now becomes the hot mess express line! Not really worth it if you ask me especially the machines do not work. I do like the coupon machine they have that’s a life saver all you do is type your phone number that’s linked to your cvs care card and it will print out all eligible coupons that are on your card.

If your claustrophobic this is not the CVS for you.
The store may look big because it sits on a corner, but inside it’s very small and the aisles are tight.
This location had self service check out and regular cashiers available to check you out.
There is a very large refrigerator and freezer walled section.
The parking lot is also a bit of a labyrinth. One way coming in, two ways going out or something like that. Very confusing to all of the drivers.
The staff is very helpful at this location. Plan on using a hand basket for your items so that you can better navigate the aisles. Using a cart is ridiculous.

I like this CVS based on the 24 hr Pharmacy. The pharmacist are so nice and highly informed of medications.

I called this cvs 6 times and no one answered. So I went to the cvs and called while inside. The phone rang. And the employee stood next to it and I said «aren’t you going to answer the phone». And he said «oh you’ve been calling» and I said «oh yeah I’ve called 6 times». Then I asked if they do helium balloons and he said «uhhh…balloons… No we don’t» so I said «there’s a helium machine right behind you» and he said «oh it doesn’t work» I can’t even.

I could easily spend over $ 100 on things that I don’t even need at CVS.
I love that this location has a parking lot (even if it does get a little crowded) and that it’s 24 hours. It is almost always neat and orderly in here unless they’re unpacking new merchandise, and there are always decent sales and specials.
Like I mentioned before the only real con worth mentioning is that the parking lot can get a little congested depending on the time of day, but that’s a fair trade off for even having a CVS with a parking lot.

They messed my priscription up, I had to call up doctor and double check everything. They wrote the wrong directions on one of the medicine bottles. Good thing I looked.

The pharmacy is a stressful environment. One pharmacist was complaining about coworkers and being very loud. I’m sorry but I don’t want to hear about you needed Christmas Eve off so you can cook and that somebody better cover for you. Also, they do not make people on the line stand away from the booth so they can hear everything you say. Pretty much I regret filling my prescription here.

I can’t understand for the life of me why a CVS that is open 24 hours blocks their parking lot at 9pm at least twice a week for deliveries. Something that should be done at 4am. I’ll be heading to the one on freshpond from now on.

I don’t buy certain things (junk food) often because it’s really not good for you.
I got suckered in by family to buy PopTarts that were on sale this past week for $ 1.99. I bought three boxes, Strawberry (standard), Smores, and a new flavor Chocolate/​Peanut Butter.
The Chocolate/​Peanut Butter was opened right away, and the others were left in my clean recycled bag that I JUST washed.
When I got home, I put the PopTart boxes on our three tiered baskets on our kitchen table. The next day, I put one PopTart pack in a closed storage container that we keep in the top cabinets where our dishes are stored, I opened it and put the PopTarts in it so they don’t crush in my purse and was on my merry way.
When I gave the PopTarts to someone to open and eat, not only was the package, but the PopTarts itself were filled with a type of Ants, so many of them! All over! I called home and told someone to check the rest of the boxes, they said those were full too, that one box had a butt load of crumbs in them, and that most of the PopTarts were grossly eaten away and crumbled all over as soon as you opened the packages filled with Ants.
The only box that was not infested were the Chocolate/​Peanut Butter ones. So we took true packaging off and put them in a food storage container. At first, my initial thought was to look in my pantry when I got home, ripped everything apart in search of Ants, realized that they were never put there in the first place, gave a shutdown to myself, and cleaned my mess up. Then, I went to the kitchen, and looked at all of the containers, they were all clean, I checked everywhere for an Ant infestation, sadly hoping it was somewhere in the home, and not the store itself. I don’t have ants, other than the bowl where I put. The PopTarts, full of Ants! I was so pissed, I called the store, and told the manager about what happened, and he was happy to refund me. He said, I don’t want to lose you as a customer.
I responded with; ‘You won’t I’m just not leaving here with cereal or Pop Tarts again.”

The staff are really great and what perfect about this store there open ²⁴⁄₇. if your working late or theres a time your running short on milk or baby food and your around this location go ahead run to this cvs there free parking

This place hase most of the stuff, however nt really clean

I thought it was just me, but after reading all the previous reviews I knew it wasn’t. I really think that when CVS hires someone to be behind the pharmacy counter that person should know better than to roll their eyes at the customer. It’s great to know when someone is book smart, but it wouldn’t hurt to teach a class in college on how to deal with people in a courteous manner. I’m switching my pharmacy as of today.

Their pharmacy agents are not educated and can’t comprehend anything. They screwed up my prescription numberous of times and why I went back, I have no idea, cause it’s close to my house. BUT NOW, I’ve learned my lesson and decided to go back to Rite Aid! Totally out of my way, but it’s worth it to get the service that every human being deserves. They really need to change their pharmacists.

Sort of love this CVS. its near my house and always stocked. The MAJOR downside is that it seems that there is only and CAN only be one active register at a time… Theres always a line!

okay so this CVS is a bit small and very big on unorganized. Its situated weird and well its gloomy. Sorry I love my CVS on myrtle ave. Bright, organized and the people are nice. Even the customers looked unhappy shopping– I just couldnt stay– I was depressed.

The upside is major here: a place in the middle of nowhere that’s open 24 hours with a pharmacy, prepared food and a small supermarket-​like food section. This CVS seriously has EVERYTHING and it’s incredibly convenient that it’s open around the clock.
The downsides are also pretty major:
You will almost always stand in line here, whether it’s at self check out or a register. There never seems to be more than one register open.
I shouldn’t know the manager of a chain pharmacy, but I do. He is always caught in the crossfire of never ending problems at the register. I’m not sure how so many problems occur at the register of a pharmacy, but recently, they seem to be increasing. There is ALWAYS something holding up the line and tensions are always running high. I’ve seen people leave out of frustration (I’ve also been one of those people) without buying anything because as long as it takes to get rung up, it takes just as long for the problem to be ironed out and it is never done with a smile.
You take your life in your hands walking through the parking lot here. This is one of the most dangerous situations if you’re a pedestrian. The way the parking lot is built, there’s basically an unobstructed road running from front to back, which people sometimes drive through to get from Metropolitan Ave to the street behind the pharmacy and vice versa. If you’re approaching CVS from the front, you have to walk in the middle of this two way street situation, which is also the only way to get in and out of the parking lot. A safer bet is to walk around the side and take the sidewalk that leads behind the dumpster to the door.

This place sucks. The parking lot is awful and overcrowded. The employees are slow and seem to have just about half a brain. It is always crowded and the lines are unbearable. I implore everyone to find an alternative drug store in Middle Village to go to.
