CVS pharmacy

Im sick and tired of these individuals at this cvs specifically. . . Every time that i go there,. And i kindly wait 3 hours before picking up a prescription. . When i get there, its still not ready,
They either had a 3 hour power outage, or short staff
So therefore it means that my children have to wait and not take there medication because of there shortage in staff or some made up power outage. Mind you i live around the corner and i never get a power outage, dont they have generators.

You go and then the 2nd time i called prior to going and they told me to give them 2 hours before i picked up prescription
So i waited 3 hours. I go and they tell me a power outage since 3 hours ago. You ask them how long, they tell you another hour while rolling there eyes at you.

Mind you this is a 24 hour pharmacy. And now they posted that they will no longer be a 24 hour pharmacy they will close at 10pm. . Great time for me to start transferring my prescriptions elsewhere.

Such a shame and disgrace in this name. They truly suck!

This store is known for not giving customers the full amount of medication prescribed by their doctor. I was given only ten (10) of the fifteen (15) pills required by my prescription. Each time my sister and I take a prescription to this drug store we have to count them before leaving the store to ensure all of the medication was provided. I don't know if...

CVS mixed prescription

I had a prescription filled out and to my shock it was a mixture of two different types of medications.
1) what My script was called for was 10MG IC Loratadine.

2)What I received was Loratadine & Lorazapan.

When I went to the Pharmacy and showed them they were the ones who told me it was Lorazapan. They also did apologies and refilled the script for me but I had already taken some over the weekend (Vacation) and got very sick from it. This was very careless and dangerous I was told. I am very upset on this matter and feel that more precautions should be taken when filling out these prescriptions.

I agree, the pharmacist obviously didn't do his/her job in properly checking the medication! IF they did, they would have caught that and the technician or whoever was responsible for mixing them could have been counseled and been made aware of their error

CVS employee misconduct

I was in the store on 5-1-10 at 7:15pm(approx). I had purchased 3 food items, 9 pack paper towels and 2 hair dyes. When It was my turn to cash out, I asked the cashier if I should separate the food stamp things from the cash because I also had a CVS dollar off on my entire transaction. He assured me that I could ring it all together and the computer would direct the money and foodstamps to where they should be taken off. He rang the items, He told me to do EBT first, did it, then I handed him the CVS dollar coupon, he scanned and said "Mam you are going to have to use this another day because I did it wrong." I said wait a minute why cant we just void it and start all over because the coupon expires today. All of a sudden he says"you know what Im not taking this ### today, he'll take you over there". Meaning that the cashier beside him would ring me up because he was irritated. I said wait you have already began taking the money You charged the EBT card for the food stamp purchase. If I go to him(other cashier) I will have been charged twice. How can we find out whether or not its been cancelled. He looked at me and said "I dont know what to tell you that's not my job" I then asked for manager he told me he wasnt there. I said you have to help me if I leave here and I am charged twice that's not fair. He said You mean to tell me you're fighting for foodstamps and a dollar coupon? Here Ill give you a ###ing dollar and ### the stamps there free food anyway." I then told him why was he talking to me like that and that I didnt deserve it. Also i asked why he was risking his job to be so rude? He told me at least he had a job because of his job I was able to get foodstamps. There is a ton more rude dialogue. I think you get the idea. First of all. I go into CVS on Centre street at least 3 times a week. Never had a problem. Second of all I am a licensed medical assistant, as well as Phlebotomist and EKG technician. I dont think I need to explain that or explain why I have foodstamps. They happen to be for my patient and I have her permission to act on her behalf. I have never been so badly treated. Then when I went to the other cashier it was clear he was his friend. He told me I made it worse by talking to the young man. I asked if he could give me a customer complaint number he told me it was on my receipt. When I got outside, It wasnt on there. Just the store number. I called on Sunday 5-2-10 and spoke to a shift leader that was going to have manager call me. TO this date 5-8-10 NOONE has even called me to apologize or try to offer me a coupon or gift certificate or nothing. I dont think this young man should be able to work there. I was torn apart at CVS because of a cashier's lack of interest in customer service.

Dear CVS,
I’m writing you today based on an incident that happened at a local CVS pharmacy here in Charlotte N.C. less than one month ago. It unfortunately involves a phone that I purchased that was miss labeled on the self of the store unknown to me at the time of purchase. The label read Trac phone, but the receipt after closer inspection, when I noticed that I could not activate it properly, read Net 10. I immediately returned it to the store on Prosperity Church Road and I was told by the manager that they couldn’t return the product even though store policy dictates that it is possible. After our brief conversation, I noticed that she was grossly under informed when it came to their own store policy. My language was slow precise and to the point, but yet somehow, she was combative with her answers. I was applauded and felt somewhat insulted by my treatment in front of all the other customers. I was then told that the issue was too complex based on a bar code visible by both of us that came from the store itself. Is CVS not like McDonalds? Does each location follow a different set of rules and policies? To test this theory, I followed the manager’s misguided advice and proceeded to the store where the phone was purchased even though it shouldn’t matter. Surprisingly, I was greeted with the same resistance as before, but this time it was by a store associate by the name of Everett at the Village Parkway store here in Charlotte N.C. Our conversation became over complicated when he began to point out outdated store policy visible by the naked eye posted for the entire world to see. The policy expired in 2011 and this of course is 2013! It plainly read that only phone cards could not be returned, and that’s exactly when I pointed out that this is an actual phone that was mislabeled from the start. He also stated that they couldn’t grant a refund based on the words if I remember them correctly “Because I said so!”. Frustrated by the fact that I missed a job assignment based on my phone not working at the time, I had no choice but to take pictures of the store policy posted above the faulty products. I also took a picture of the miss labeled sign where I bought it. Even thing that I pointed out was 100 percent correct, but my ability to read must be hindered by my skin color inside CVS stores. Everett, the store associate, read it word for word with me, but for some reason, the words registered different in his mind. I lost a $30, 000.00 time sensitive job offer based on the simple fact that they would not even return the Trac phone in question. . Your management is blatantly combative. My treatment, my disgust, and my loss of opportunity, all point to the same fact unprofessionalism. Unfortunately, I feel alone in my ability to read and wonder if the English language has changed overnight, based on my treatment. I have the whole incident voice reordered simply because I anticipated their response due to a growing sentiment in this area and past treatment by your store associates. I do not know what’s going on in Charlotte N.C. but this seems to be the norm lately. . I also have pictures of the mislabeled product stand and hope you can help in this situation. Sadly enough, it is too late for a return, but not for justice.

Unfortunately a civil rights lawsuit is the only logical solution to this apparent problem. Your management is blatantly combative and racist. My treatment, my disgust, and my loss of opportunity, all point to the same fact, Racism. The word racism should be a juvenile term based on the bitterness of the seventies, but somehow it’s not. I was verbally hosed and need some kind of answer to this dilemma. Unfortunately I feel alone in my ability to read and wonder if the English language has changed overnight, based on my treatment. I have the whole incident voice reordered simply because I anticipated their response due to a growing sentiment in this area and past treatment by your store associates. I don’t know what’s going on in Charlotte N.C. but this seems to be the norm lately. I also have pictures of the mislabeled product stand and hope you can help in this situation. Sadly enough, it’s too late for a return, but not for justice. Please help!

CVS treats employees like dirt

I am not sure how well CVS is qualified to handle all of the manage drug benefit programs, for employees of the City of Chicago, the county, the Chicago Board of Education, the City Colleges of Chicago, the transit agency and the agency’s retirees. Their have been so many CVS employees that have been injured in the city of Chicago and they have a horrendous time trying to get their working compensations claims approved. They are expected to work insane hours and yet only get paid 45 hours, while not taking any breaks or lunch's. I know multiple store managers who have been injured and are currently out of work with severe injuries and all the required medical documentation, yet they get the run around from everyone in the company regarding their pay and benefits. If they are not able to take care of their own employees who bust their but for the company, how can we expect them to take care of the all of these employees for thecity of Chicago ? These store managers are in fear of losing their jobs when they return to work, yet while they were working, upper management didn't seem to care that these managers were working 60-70 hours a week while only getting paid 45 hours, Their are some very serious safety issues at a lot of locations that directly lead to employee injuries, and when reported employees are pressured to return to work while still injured for fear of losing their employment.

you've got that right, nadia13. I filed a discrimination charge against CVS back in June 2010... after trying to seek protection from the PIC, later the District Pharmacy Supervisor and finally HR.. but got no where. Time was running out for me to file for protection of retaliation, so I went the EEOC route and CVS has sent harrassed me in every way possible.. even sending some one from corporate on 2 different occassions to talk with me, to barter. I proceeded that it was not a matter of settlement, but principle.. and I wanted the retaliation to stop. It later led to this same corporate guy whose name I can't mention... asking me to sign a form that he subjected was just a form stating that matters discussed in the room that day would be kept confidential.. and that it was a standard form. I'd previously obtained legal counsel and was told to beware of GAG orders in disguise and DO NOT sign them. They would forfeit my rights from future protection. So I refused, he got on his plane and left. The EEOC is now in the process of an investigation on my behalf. I hope they see things as they are and not as they appear.. otherwise, when the case is closed... I will no longer be protected from retaliation. So I've just purchased a domain and will be promoting CVS Employees abroad to anonymously share their stories. So please be looking for the site to come up LIVE in the next few weeks. It's cvsworkersspeakout.com

I'm just another CVS Tech in Southeast-
Just wanted to say how outstanding of you it is to go beyond what is asked of you by the company to look after those who can't look after themselves! I know CVS underpays you cause it's about the lowest paying drug store chain in North America and yet it is the largest! But still you are going beyond your job description to help others.
The company may not know what you're worth, but that's ok..as long as you do! With the same measure you give it will be given back to you!

CVS worst pharmacy ever

CVS is the worst pharmacy ever. I had been going there for about three years and found out that they had been riping me off the entire time. When I first walk in there the pharmacist out right ignores me then finally looks up and says I am busy. When she finally got around to waiting on me. I asked her if she had used my discount card that I got from the drug maker, she threw it back at me and said we have it on file. The cashier cancelled the sale and re-rung and it was $30.00 less. After some research we found that they had only used it 4 times in a period of a year. I finally got a refund from them for $240.00 but they refuse to refund the over charges for other meds I have taken. I guess they think that we are just going to forget about it but the over charges for the other meds are over $500.00. I have already transfered my prescription and wrote them a letter saying I will not be going back to that store while that rude pharmacist is still working there. They should know that it is cheaper to keep your old customers than to try to generate new ones.

CVS people are rude, hang up, do not notify when a particular product will be in

Your pharmacy people are rude, hang up, do not notify when a particular product will be in and tell you to call your doctor for something else, for something you have been taking for 60 years. There is NO notification that they do not have the product, although it is to be filled automatically a week before due. They hang up on customers and tell them to go elsewhere - which I will do as soon as I used up all my CVS$$$ for everyday items. I WILL go "somewhere else" as suggest by two pharmacists...you don't want my business. You don't give me co-pay credit and you short the number of pills. Shirley R. Rose [protected] [protected]@aol.com...and don't tell ME to contact someone...they should have contacted ME atthe last 4 complaints. If I were not 83 and handicapped, I would have found a REAL pharmacy when you took over Longs.

If you think they are shorting your pills, ask for a tech to count them in front of you before you leave. It is a reasonable request as I did this for the patients at my pharmacy whenever I was asked. However...if you walk away and out of their site for even a second...they will not do a count, and if they did, they would not credit you for any missing pills. This is because of crooks going around the corner and spilling some pills into their hands to then go back and get some more after blaming the staff for shorting them.

Also, I won't tell you to contact someone as you stated (please note that I do NOT work for this CVS location, nor have I worked at all since 2002 due to my own disability so do NOT complain to me!). That being said, I want you to realize that you have only put your complaint on a 'complaint website' not the CVS website so if you are expecting a response from the company regarding your complaint...you aren't going to get one!

It does sound like there seems to be a problem at your store, but honey, if you don't keep calling...the problem will never...ever go away! I wish you luck in your search for another pharmacy. I hear Walgreen's is pretty good. :)

CVS dirty store

I have never been to a CVS Store that was this dirty. This store is usually clean, but it has gone to crap! There is stuff all over the floors, the carpet is dirty, stuff scattered everywhere, and the bathroom is dirty. On top of all this the help there is no longer friendly or willing to help. I love CVS more than Wal Mart and I am so disappointed!

Have you taken a look at how CVS treats their employees? They dont have enought help. They expect two people to run a store per shift. that is 4 people per day... I suggest that you see through their eyes before you put something stupid like this on a site! Avoyelles parish people/customers are just LAZY! They MUST ALL have their homes looking like [censor]! have you seen what they do? They grab an item off the shelf and put it somewhere else. Do yourself a favor, stop acting like you are better than everyone else. CVS does not have a JANITOR like WAL*MART! The Managers at CVS do the following:
Manage, Stock, Cashier, Unload truck, Clean Parking lot, take out the trash, 100 different things each day, take phone calls from customers whom are spoiled rotten and impatient, hang price changes, no time for lunch, try to fill holes, clean the bathroom, planograms, straighten shelves, have customers come and ask for an item because they cant READ the AISLE signs, get carts, etc... This is all done per shift and by one person. Now... you still feel like its due to the EMPLOYEES ONLY!?!?

CVS deceptive employee

Today, on March 30, 2010, Amy, a cashier at the front of the store was rude when I asked her a question concerning my return. She attempted to have me come back to the store later that day based on her statement that no one was available to process my return. I replied is anyone available to take my return, she brought up the assistant store manager to process my return. Another female in the front of the store, with dark hair up on her head, wearing eyeglasses, stood in front of me while I was asking Amy for help and repeatedly interrupted by saying excuse me, excuse me, sir, louder and louder. I will not return to CVS.

actually, it's not legal for pharmacies to take your medication back and re-sell it. (it's the law.)
The pharmacy *COULD* have refunded your copay of $25 (but still charged your insurance) since this eyedrop is pretty expensive, but that would be under the manager's discretion. If you're just an occasional patient, it's not likely that the manager will refund you the copay. They would still have to throw away the eyedrops since they can't re-sell them.

I would contact your doctor-- they're the ones who effed up.

CVS employees beware

My son had been an employee at CVS in Cherry Hill, NJ since Sept '09. He was fired almost three weeks ago because he was accused of stealing. The Loss Prevention Manager in the Philadelphia region came into the store to "convince" my 16 year old son that he's been stealing approx. $20 worth of stuff and that they have been investigating him for awhile now.

She made him sign a confession sheet. He couldn't deny these accusations because she said they have evidence that proves he did it. They made me come in and sign this too...I suppose because he's a minor. I did, fully believingmy son was guilty at the time considering the "evidence" they said they have. When I asked to see it however, she said she wasn't allowed to show me.

After talking to my son and giving him every opportunity to "come clean" on this, he still asserts his innocence.

After talking to numerous people at all different levels of the company from Loss Prevention to Human Resources, I finally got the LP Director to admit there is in fact no "evidence". They also couldn't come up with an accounting of what made up the $20 they said he stole. Another strange thing...the day this firing took place, the regular store manager left early and there was only a mgr trainee there which I believe is against their policy.My son got along well with the store mgr which might explain why he wasn't in the building when this took place. I've been trying to get real answers for weeks now as to why this happened, and why tomy son, a 16yr old part-time employee. When he's tried to talk to other people who work there about this, they've said they can't talk about or they'll be fired.

I'm pretty sure I'm not ever going to get any answers from them and I'm also not sure if I can take any legal action against them. I know they don't have to have a reason to fire but are they allowed to blatantly lie tomy son and me to get us to sign a document of theirs? My wife and I feel we have no real recourse. Any suggestions?

I work for a CVS Pharmacy # 9805 that was once Longs Drugs and I can tell you that it is a sad situation with regards to how the employees are treated as our hours are cut to the bone to cover the 75 million $$$$ fine for the few stores that over sold items that contributed to making legal drugs ~ now after working there for over 2 years, my hours have been cut from 40 hours a week to only 11 hours per week and I am forced to file for food stamps and unemployment ! Check out Target, WalMart and Food Max as their price are much better than the advertised prices at CVS where it is Profits over People. Sad that CVS is the evil empire from the East Coast that has sucked up the Longs customers to profit over the people that shopped there for years ! DO NOT SHOP AT CVS !

A recent situation like this happened to me. They "investigated me" and the process in which they fired me was OUTRAGEOUS! My "boss" notified me via text that i needed to come in..didnt call or anything, and when i told her my phone was dead and i would have to reschedule, she said that some paperwork would be sent via certified mail..the gave no reason as to why they fired me. i am trying to get contact info for corporate...i live in california, and i worked in a different department, but there is definitely some legal action we can take. i am metting with an attorney on tuesday. if you would like you can email me
juliagenevieve@gmail.com ...it seems like im not the only one who cvs messes with...in my opinion, they just look for people to pin when they are overstaffed.

talk to you soon..hope i can help!

I don't think they can lie to you for the reason of termination. They could have just said they could let him go. And that would have been the end of it. Since they decided to "make up" a story, then maybe there could have been some legal action to take place. If there was theft, why werent the police notified?

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Asked for refund on a bottle of shampoo, explaining that I had spoken to someone on the phone who told me it was okay because the shampoo didn't even soap up on my head. After staring at my hair for quite a few seconds, as if to come to some sort of conclusion about the situation, she agreed to do the credit. asked if I could have that on a store credit...

CVS dishonest/incompetent pricing

I call this company to obtain a refill for a prescription and to find out how to purchase it most cheaply. I was told to purchase a 3 months supply. I went back to my doctor for this special script. Then I ordered the forms called to check the price and filled in what they told me. A week later they called to tell me that the price was exactly the same as I had been paying- no discount for purchasing by mail in bulk. The price was more that 2 times what they had quoted me on the phone twice. Currently they tell me I can save money by purchasing a 1 month supply by mail. If this is true- and I doubt it- it will be the first time I have ever got the best price by purchasing the least quantity. Through all this hassle I have been without my medication for several months. I deeply regret that my insurance company does not offer alternatives to this incompetent/dishonest money hungry company that puts profits well above the next 10 factors. I will start to look for health insurance that gives me options to CVS.

CVS cashier

I went to CVS today to purchase a few things using coupons. "Leslie" waited on me and was the ruddest cashier I have ever had at CVS. She refused to honor my 2 coupons for the 2 products I was purchasing . I told her that I would call corpoate office because of her arrogant attitude and she said " go ahead and call corporate and even if they tell me to do something I still won't do it" Many costumers were standing near.

YA BECAUSE THE EMPLOYEES SHOULD MEMORIZE EVERY ITEM THAT GOES ON SALE EVERY SINGLE WEEK IN THAT STORE... EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ITEMS ON SALE IN ANY GIVEN WEEK ... THAT CASHIER WAS STUPID TO NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT THE SALE ON NAIL POLISH WAS... MAYBE IF YOU WOULD READ YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THE BOGO THAT WAS ALSO ON THE TAG NOT JUST THE FIFTY PERCENT OFF ... HELLLOOOOOOOO oh and in response to the original post, were your coupons expired? were they SPECIFICALLY FOR WHAT YOU PURCHASED or were you trying to get a bottle of olay cleanser for free by using one of the ten dollar off of Olay Pro X products?

I have similar experience in store #5012..the cashier named Joanna is so unfriendly, rude and impatient who and the like of her should not be a frontliner to customers. She scanned all the items i got and the last item, a nail polish that ringed at regular price.. i told her that i saw it at 50% off, she told me that its not and commanded me twice to go back and get an item with the green dot, i went back to the shelf and could not find a green tag on any nail polish items rather all with a bold yellow tag @ 50%. She doesnt want to come out from her post to check it out (knowing that there are not much customers in this place) until i told her to check it out for me because i could not find any one item with a green dot. She went out mumbling and looks very angry she did not find any item with green dot but got the yellow tag and later told me that its buy one get one 50 % off in a very nasty manner(she should know it in the 1st place). She is so argumentative when i told her im going to return all the items because im very disatisfied with her. Later made a mistake with discrepancy in the amount of my purchase and returned items. i talked to the supervisor, Doric and just told me it will be taken cared of. It was a bad experience spending almost an hour in a not so busy store . I will never go back in that place.

CVS two (2) perscription mishaps

In December 2009 the pharmacy indicated on a call in order that I was to visit my doctor before filling my blood pressure medication. After confirmation of my visit the pharmacy filled a perscription and because I was ill my husband picked it up, I took this medication for three (3) weeks before the pharmacy called my home and my job to advise me that they gave me someone else's medication. I took the bottle of medicine to them and they advised me that the other medicine was not going to hurt me and gave me a $25 gift card. . . .At the top if this month (February), I had to go through the same procedure and was given the wrong hypertension medicine - which I took for about a month before learning from my physician that it too was the wrong medicine. My doctor advised me that the pharmacy faxed a document that was issued in 2008, I told the doctor that I assumed he was lowering my medication as I had no idea what was going on assuming that the pharmacy had to be 100% CORRECT when dealing with the customer life. I shall question every order in the future and hope that these mistakes have no adverse affect on my health. In advising the pharmacy technicians of this new mistake they told me that it was my responsibility to call in the correct order. . . I told them that this was a mechanical call in order, I did not speak to any one, just gave the number indicated on the bottle. The technicians then told me that the doctors office OK'ed the order. I told them that the order originated from the pharmacy and that they forwarded a 2008 missive to the office. I then asked why they would hold on to 2008 information as it's outdated and should be removed from their files. My hypertension is OFF THE CHARTS now and I have your pharmacy to thank for this. . .I hope someone from your company communicate that they have received this communication and what you propose to do about this. Thank you -

I work in a pharmacy. I don't know why so many people hold on to their old prescription bottles. When you go in for a refill, throw out the old bottle.
