CVS

Well… Just got home with the pure leaf teas I bought from here and they expired in May 2015. That’s 3, almost 4 months old… Very pissed off right now, please check your stocked items at least once a month people, better hope I don’t get food poisoning now from this gross tasting shit.

Huge drugstore. The staff were very friendly. Being new to the area I was quite perplexed by the uniformed police offer that seemed to work there. It made me wonder about my safety in this drug store. I have been told its a normal thing to see in st. Louis. This location had a great selection and was very clean.

I am SO RELIEVED to have found CVS. Seriously. I’m still licking my wounds after getting dumped by Walgreens. It’s like when two people in your group of friends start dating, and then they have a horrible break up, and just because you’re friends with Express Scripts, now Walgreens doesn’t want to be friends with you just because you’re associated with them, and then you feel like you did when your parents got divorced, and you feel like it’s your fault, and you wonder why everyone can’t just get along, and you go to your room and you slam your door and you scream I HATE BOTH OF YOU!!! And you feel like their parent, especially since they won’t listen to you. And then you have to get your medication at Schnucks, which you assure yourself will be the same thing, but it’s not, and it’s all, like, trying to be your real pharmacy, but you hate it, and you can’t even call it your pharmacy. Your doctor’s all like, what’s the number to your pharmacy, and you’re like, «It’s NOT my pharmacy, it’s my STEP pharmacy.»
But then one day you decide that you can admit that you’re too lazy to get prescriptions at your grocery store. I can no longer buy my drugs at a place where I buy raw meat. It is such a giant pain in the ass to go into a Schnucks and get my meds, and the best thing I ever did for myself was admit this to myself.
CVS assured me they would call Schnucks and break up with them for me. I arrived at CVS and it was everything I hoped it would be. It’s like a Walgreens, if Walgreens doubled their lighting, lowered their shelves, and took a shower. I wasn’t even mad that they had no idea who I was and had no meds waiting for me when I arrived, because the pharmacy staff were so excellent. They immediately called and got my shit ordered and had it ready within, like, 5 minutes. I shit you not. AND they gave me a gift certificate for switching to their pharmacy, even though that promotion is long dead. I honestly wanted to jump over the counter and give them a friendship hug, but my PO told me I can’t do that anymore. Luckily I got my meds so the urge subsided.
The two best parts of CVS? Número uno, they have a DRIVE THROUGH. If you don’t already know that I love drive-​thrus, look at my cholesterol levels. The next best thing to getting food without having to get out of my car is getting drugs.
The second best part of shopping at CVS? It’s just so damn exciting. They have a whole AISLE of condoms. 50 thousand shades of nail polish. A toy aisle. Office supplies. Enough tampons to dam up Niagra Falls. That shit is EXCITING. Is it exciting to shop for any of those things at Schucks??? Noooooooo! Is it exciting to shop for it at CVS? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Is it overpriced? DUH!!! Convenience, baby, convenience. And they have some good sales.
ANYWAY, this store is the shit. It’s so giant it’s kind of scary. Very Pleasantville. Giant aisles. Oh, and carpet. Get a CVS reward card. You can save moolah.
I am so happy right now. It feels like giant problem in my life was solved. This can’t be the case, since clearly I don’t have a life.

Since I live so close my family and I frequently shop here. Of course only when items are on sale. I find the staff to be very friendly and helpful especially the security guard in the evenings! He is very kind! The place is very clean and bright!

I’m still not sold on CVS. I have tried. I find them very overpriced. I am surprised at what they charge for a soda, 20 to 30 cents higher than Walgreen’s. I will shop their sales if I have a coupon, otherwise no go.
They try really hard with lots of ads and those commercials. Glad they took off the one with the really old gray haired lady. It was freaky. I thought damn I don’t want to shop there! Just didn’t relate.
On the plus side the stores are clean and bright. Red and Yellow, like a circus.
