Cvs Pharmacy

The date was April 29, 1994. It wasn’t an overly sunny Friday afternoon, but it was warm. Warm in the way southwest Virginia gets once the cool days of spring begin to melt slowly into the outstretched arms of summer. I was but a child, lost in an imaginary world of dragons and castles and ironclad heroes. Blades of grass tickled my elbows and neck as I laid in Mr. McCormick’s field, studying the clouds as they slowly passed overhead towards the mountainous horizon.
In the distance, I could hear the soft crunching of grass buried under heavy footsteps. The sound grew as the steps neared. «What do ya see Bill?» I looked towards the voice and found my father, dressed in faded jeans and a bass fishing shirt, smiling his crooked smile as he continued to walk towards me. «Where do the clouds come from dad?» I questioned. As he sat down beside me, he answered, «Well, from water.»
I pondered this answer for a few moments before asking, «But how dad?»
«Well, water goes from the ocean and from the lakes and from everywhere else there is water and gets sucked up into the sky. And then, when the sky gets all the water it can take, it dumps it back out. That’s where rain clouds come from, Billy.»
«Like grandpa’s lake?» I inquired.
«Yes, Bill. Just like grandpa’s lake.»
You may be asking yourself what this tale of youthful dialogue between father and son has to do with a pharmacy.
Frankly, absolutely nothing.
But the CVS on Colonial Avenue SW does have an immense chapstick selection, a bountiful shampoo aisle and the friendliest of cashiers. Shop accordingly.

I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 8 years and shop this CVS very often. Despite dropping $ 80 every time I walk in the door on random crap I still get followed like a common criminal EVERY time I walk in. I actually got used to it and started to ignore it but it seems like the last 4 times its been so much worse and blatantly obvious. I’m not a shoplifter I’m a chubby 40 year old housewife. Well I’m done now. I’ll simply go around the corner to Walgreens. Thanks for 8 years of constant surveillance.

Convenient place to get your meds, personal care items and last minute holiday gifts!

This CVS is incredibly slow with a typically unfriendly staff at the pharmacy. I would not recommend going here for anything. Get your prescriptions filled at the Kroger next door!

The only reason I still get my RX’s filled here is because it’s a pain in the butt to. Change. The pharmacy staff are ALWAYS rude. I don’t know what it is, or what time of day we are there, they act like they are too annoyed to help you. God forbid you call, they are so mono toned and lazy. I can’t stand this staff. No one I’ve met there in the years I’ve been getting my scripts have even been nice enough to strike my memory. They really need to hire someone other than little girls who have either just gotten their pharmacy license, and think they are better than everyone, or the older women who act like they are too good to help you. Going to get my scripts is always a dread. There is either a long wait, rude staff, or, the RX you TEXTED ME THAT WAS READY was not ready.
