CVS/pharmacy

To be fair, had I done this review over a year ago, it would have been 1 generous star easily.
So based on all the years I’ve been here, I finally had enough and stopped coming here altogether. From the inept. rude staff to the stocking issues, I didn’t need to come here and get frustrated so I avoided this place for the longest time although they are the closest CVS to me.
I’ve had to come here twice fairly recently out of simple necessity. Both times they have seemed like they’ve changed a bit. The store looks more presentable than it did for many years and most things I needed were in stock. The cashiers have actually been efficient and friendly. And there are no automated registers here.
I’ve had issues here before with the pharmacy — both with their pricing, lack of simple logic, and inept staff… both pharmacists and everyone else back there. The assistants always seemed to think they were above customers and had brains, when it was in fact the opposite — really, they put on the white coat and they think they’re something they’re clearly not. A few of the staff in the back end of the pharmacy were more than enough to make me swear off this location to ever use as a pharmacy again. I’ve gone to locals and CVS’s main competitor Walgreen’s down the block. Perhaps along with the rest of the changes in this location, they have changed the pharmacy area as well. Maybe some of those idiots they had back there are actually gone now. Maybe one day I’ll try them again… maybe.
Anyway, the aisles are a little cramped at some spots. They have chairs for customers waiting for their prescriptions in the back and it does get crowded at times. The general CVS layout is mainly the same as far as actual stock goes as most other locations.
The parking lot sucks, but there’s not much they can do about it. It’s crowded near the front and there’s always cars coming and going along with pedestrian traffic. Cars making a left turn from the lot will sometimes be there a while since Yonkers Avenue traffic can be a bit much at times. There used to be a panhandler at the front of the doors here all of the time with the same «story» each time — she must’ve made quite the living, as she was there for years doing this all day and night instead of actually finding a job. Anyway, I haven’t seen her the last two times I went, so she’s finally gone.
So yes, while I despised this CVS for many, many years — they seemed to have changed and I’m willing to come back and try some more here. Hopefully they continue this way. Maybe after a while, I’ll give their pharmacy a try again.

I’ve gone here for about a year for prescriptions, and I’ve had a problem for about 80% of my pick-​ups. Much of the pharmacy staff is rude and unwilling to help. Looking forward to finding a new pharmacy.

Every person that works here that I have spoken to has always been so nice and helpful. It is also very organized and stocked.
