CVS
Reviews and Complaints

I made an appointment via the CVS iPhone App for a COVID booster shot at CVS #16482 which is located in the Target store at 380 Consumer Square, Mays Landing NJ. 08330. Upon arrival, I was turned away for the COVID Booster because they claimed that the CVS computer system will not accept a Pfizer booster shot if your original vaccination was Janssen. During the 10 minute process on the CVS app, it was clearly indicated that I had originally received the Janssen vaccination, so if this situation is true, the website should have stopped me. The CDC allows mix and match for booster shots, but apparently CVS is unable to keep their system up to date. The person at the pharmacy said that they had to turn down several people due to this problem. This situation was disappointing, and a waste of my time.

I went 11/18/21 to pick up my prescriptions. I thought I had all my prescriptions, but the most important, the high blood pressure was missing. I check online, it said out of stock. My question is why I was not in formed on 11/18/21 that my prescription was on back order. I tried calling friday, Saturday and sunday, no answer. I did get the pharmacy Monday, he informed me then. He would try calling around and find out if another pharmacy has prescription on file. This is high blood pressure medicine. and I think some urgency should have been taken or at the least informed me what was going on.

My doctor called in a prescription on a Friday and I have been trying to talk to someone at CVS for three days because the app says it is still processing. No one answers the phone I have called three times and spend over 40 minutes on hold to get no answer. I cannot go into the pharmacy because they have closed it and it's only accessible through the drive up window. This pharmacy is awful!

I've been trying to reach the pharmacist at the Studio City location since 10am. It is now 4:15pm.

Phoned them five times and put on hold by automation for over 40 minutes and then either hung up on, or never answered.

This happens ALL the time!

Maybe you will have better luck

This cvs is located on fort ave in Lynchburg Virginia . I had a situation where I was n the hospital for impaction so my friend went to the pharmacy to ask her for some recommendations. Well she decided that it was okay and lawful (which it is not and us a total hippa violation)to not only discuss my whole personal private list of medications with him but told him EVERYTHING I was on which is my business and now I have issues w family members bc of the medications I am on this is TOTALLY against THE LAW . I am pissed off. I am totally violated. My next contact with you will be from.my ATTORNEY.

My credit card was charged by Courtney without telling me how much I was being charged first. The pharmacy filled my prescription without my insurance information. I tried to return my prescription when I found out that I was charged $49.49 for 1 prescription but they refused my return and refused to refund my money. After I complained I was charged too much money, they finally asked me what my insurance and only then I was told that they do not accept my insurance.

CVS pharmacy at Winston Hill Dr. in Cary, NC. Store #05556

Waited at the register for about 3 minutes to pay for an item and check on prescriptions. 4 technicians and 1 pharmacist were behind the desk. No one looked up, made eye contact, or acknowledged my presence in any way. After about 3 minutes a tech moved to the register and spent about one minute at the register directly in front of me. Still no acknowledgement of any kind. She finally asked could she help me. She never looked at me. I asked for her to check for prescriptions for my wife and myself. I gave her name and birthdates. She finally looked up for the first time to reprimand me - "one at a time sir!" After informing me that there were no prescriptions ready for pickup, I slipped a tube of lotion under the plexiglass and asked her to ring it up. Without saying anything she scanned the lotion and tossed it back through the opening in the plexiglass. After paying for the lotion I turned away, fuming with anger. I stopped, turned around and walked back. I told her she needed to learn some manners, and that her customer service skills were in sore need of improvement. She looked me in the eye and told me that I should be ashamed of myself, a "mature" man. She then loudly repeated it, getting the attention of one of the techs across the room at the drive through window.

I then asked to speak to the pharmacist in charge. She had been standing at a counter about 15 feet away facing us the entire time, but not looking up. She finally looked at me and said "I'm busy sir. I'll be with you as soon as I can." I waited about 5 minutes without moving. She finally realized that I wasn't leaving. She came over and asked "How can I help you?" I asked her incredulously "did you not hear the exchange". She said, "I was busy, sir. I didn't hear a thing". Although at that point I realized the futility of my complaint, I told her anyway. She looked at me blankly. I asked for the name of the pharmacist in charge. She gave it to me. I asked for the name of the tech who was so rude. She refused. I asked for first name only. She refused.

There were no other employee that I noticed on the floor outside the
pharmacy staff - no one to voice a complaint to.

I later called the number that she gave me to speak with the pharmacist in charge, Ms. Rana. I called, was on hold for 8 minutes, and finally hung up, realizing that no one at CVS really gives a damn about rude behavior toward their customers. Today, after filling our family's prescriptions at CVS for the last 20 years, I switched everything to another local pharmacy. They actually pick up the phone when you call, acknowledge you when you approach the counter, and actually seem to appreciate our business!

Customer service is dead at CVS #05556. I was ignored in this store, and the pharmacist ignored the incident when it happened. Of course, I never heard anything from anyone at CVS. Ignoring such blatantly rude behavior is a symptom of complacency from the top down. I just read that CVS will be closing 300 stores a year for the next three years. Not surprising - I for one will never set foot in another CVS store.

They post a sin that the drive thru is closed because of lack of personnel. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO MONTHS NOW IN THE AFTERNOON And EARLY EVENING. As a result I have to come inside and wait in a long line, possibly exposing myself to coronavirus. This also increases coronavirus risk to cvs staff at the counter.I BUY OVER $5000 RX FROM CVS EACH YEAR, BUT THIS WILL CHANGE IF THE DRIVE THRU IS EVER CLOSED AGAIN AFTER TODAY.

second month. This happened again 11/20/21 that our CVS pharmacy will not fill our prescription when our doctor had to take time to call them to have it refilled. The employees have the prescription on their counter but fill it when they choose to do it hours later! When I question them why it hasn't been filled they said they haven't gotten to it, but then I ask what time they opened then they decide they now have the time! Let me guess, no one wants to work? not enough employees? cant tell time? Customers do not matter? Customers come last?
Who do they think pays them? If you don't have customers you wont have business!
My husband is on dialysis and will be till the day he dies! And yet your company doesn't care about your customers!
I'm assume your company doesn't care!
We have been at this pharmacy many years. I to have a busy life but put my job first! And yet I have to stop to do some else's job to get anything resolved!
Our store is located inside a Schnuck's grocery

Lets just see how many more times our prescription gets shoved to the side! If it was left up to me I would go somewhere else and support that business. With my husband being on dialysis he wants to give them another chance

We'll see

Date of incident 11/18/21 Thursday, around 10:00 AM. I had an appointment with my doctor at 9:20. My doctor called in for Aripiprazole 5 Mg, after our appointment . I was suicidal because of a death in the family.

There was a girl & guy pharmacist. The guy's name was Kevin & I didn't get the girl's name. She had her photo up on the wall. She told me wait time is 15-20 min. I went shopping in Target for 1 hour. CVS is in Target. I get back and she told me, she didn't fill it, to sit down & it will be 15-20 minutes.

I sat down for 1/2 hour, got up to find out if it was ready, She said she didn't fill it yet. There was no customers, maybe 2-3 in and out. I'm sure there could be a video of this. I complain to the manager, from Target. He said he couldn't do anything about it.

Tension started to rise. Kevin came over and with a face ready to kill screamed, sit down.The girl came over and told me she'e sorry, it's her fault but she didn't know when she could fill it.

I was about to call the police, when the girl finally got the bottle off the shelf and put a lable on the medication. she didn't have to count it, and gave me one without water. Now the time is noon, and people started to show up

11/17/21 Unfortunately this is not the first complaint I have had to file regarding service by CVS pharmacy. Today at around 10 am I called the pharmacy requesting a refill. They said it would be ready in a few hours. I received a text that it was ready. After waiting about 10 minutes in the drive thru I was curtly informed that it was not ready and that the person originally taking the information had not put in the request for refill. She said they were "overwhelmed". I pointed out that they are always
"overwhelmed" she said "go to another pharmacy".
In and by itself this is not horrible however it is a waste of gas and time. They have two sites in town, one with a drive thru, the other without. Since I have difficulty walking at time, I use the drive thru and their site is notoriously known for terrible service. In the past I have had to wait until the prescription was finished after being told it would be ready. They seem to have the monopoly on this area and do not care about their customers.

I am very disappointed that my doctor prescribed ivermectin for covid and CVS Pharmacy refused to fill it across all stores. What my doctor prescribes is a choice between my doctor and me and CVS has no authority to deny me medication simply because they are choosing to cater to the naysayers. I got the prescription for my kids somewhere else and they were so much better within a day. I will never fill another of my or my family's prescriptions at CVS.

CVS has to be the worst company ever. The pharmacy is the worst thing they actually have. I waited 3 hours on the phone waiting to speak to someone at the pharmacy about my medications. I called back after waiting the 3 hours and when someone finally answered the phone they put me on hold to speak to the manager. I was on hold an extra 1 hour for the manager to pick up the phone. Once I explained my problem he forwarded my call to the pharmacy and told me to leave a message and they would call me back. It's been 6 days and I'm still waiting for the call back.

Every time I order my Clonazepam refilled at the Naples 9th Street CVS

They have to order it and I will wait an additional 2 days for pick up

I have never had this problem with any other CVS as they know their customers and always had this item in stock
Last time I picked up the refill they did not even have the correct amount of pills and did not even suggest that they will get the rest and notify me when they come in
They are very unfriendly and don't seem to care about their customers in this store
I am at the point of switching over to Walgreens for all my prescriptions from now on

The pharmacy refuses to answer the phone and their excuse is that they are busy. But if people called they wouldn't have a line wrapped around the store. This has been happening for at least two months. They also take over a week to fill life saving drugs like asthma medication and antibiotics. Are They trying to kill people? They only have one lane open and shut down the drive thru. Unacceptable for a company as massive as you. Look at the rating on Google.
