Pharmacy/Prescription Refill
After receiving a message that my prescription was ready for pickup, I had one of the worst experiences ever when I visited CVS Pharmacy, 401 Highway 12, Starkville, MS. Although there were no other customers waiting in the Pick-Up area and the pharmacy staff was well aware of my presence (being that several members actually looked at me, one with seemingly a smirk on her face) I waited over 10 minutes for assistance or even acknowledgement. Actually, during that time, two other people came into the Drop Off area and were helped before me.
It has been over a month since my CVS experience and I have yet to receive a survey, which causes me to believe that CVS management and Corporate Office are well aware of the behavior.
Desired outcome: Surveys could be sent to customers after their pharmacy visits, which may help in deterring that type of behavior. Regardless, it is my intent to change pharmacies--the decision that I made during my over 10 minutes of waiting.
Poor customer service
I was in the store earlier browsing for a few items when an older male staff member asked in a gruff tone if there was anything he could help me find. This tone was unnecessary and lacked manners. When I told him what I needed, he told me, in another gruff tone, that the item was to my left. He never bothered to look at me or make any sort of eye contact...

April 8, friday around 1;30 pm I I was waiting at the drive up window to pick up my prescription. There was a car ahead of me. This car took about 15 minutes for its transaction and drove away. When my turn came up your employee told me the pick up window is now closed for lunch! Why did your company make your customers wait then wave good bye to eat their lunch? I wasted 20 minutes of my time. Your website says open 24 hours for prescription! False advertisement! If you want to take a lunch break you must post the hour of lunch break visibly to the customer and stop your false advertisement! This store had a lovely and energetic lady as a manager. I bet she is no longer there this cvs in question is located at the corner of transcontinentsl and west esplande in metairie, louisiana. I have another complaint for cvs located at the corner of cleary avenue and west napoleon. I will use another space.
Desired outcome: I want the store’s reply on this incident and how they are going to handle Their lunch hour solution in a future.
On April 7th I took a Uber from my home to CVS located at the corner of Cleary Avenue and West Napoleon in Metairie, Louisiana. I no longer drive as I have a trouble with my right leg. When I enter this CVS store there was no shopping cart inside. So I went outside looking for the shopping cart. There was NONE.
Inside of the store I saw only one cashier who was busy with queued up customers. So I walked with much difficulties to the back of the store asking for the shopping cart. I was told ALL-carts were STOLEN. This store must display at the entrance door that no carts are available ahead of time. So that handicapped customers or customers with the baby can go to another place where the carts would be available, This store lacks problem solving techniques!
This experience and today’s bad experience at another CVS store are not coincidental. I suspect something is going on at CVS headquarters. Maybe they want to sell CVS to another company? Or they want to reduce the number of the stores? Worst customer experiences I have encountered TWO DAYS in a row!1.PLEASE read my other complaint as well.
Pharmacy service
Hello, I am contacting you because the pharmacy received my prescription refill over a month ago and initially the medication was on back order, so I have been waiting for it to become in stock. A friend of mine has theirs called in yesterday and his has already been filled. I have called the pharmacy 5 times today. I called at 1:25pm and they answered...
Read full review of CVStime to get prescription
Went to pick up prescription at long grove il CVS on 4/8/22. It was called in 2 hours before I went to pick up. Went inside to pick up. Pharmacist was helping people fill out medical forms to get a shot. Other lady was taking care of drive thru. She finished up then I asked for help. She put info in so I could get prescription. She stated the pharmacist had to ok the prescription and it would be 3 or 4 minutes I would have to wait. The pharmacist was filling out medical forms and it would be longer than that. I left and said I would come back. Stopped and talked to manager at the store and he said they opened at 9:00 am I said what does that have to do with me having to wait for prescription, It was 12:00 now. Twenty minutes later I went back to store using drive thru. I was told again it would be 3 or 4 minutes before could get the prescription. I said again? the pharmacist came with prescription and basically thru the prescription at me after I paid. Rude pharmacist that should not be dealing with people.
Desired outcome: You need to get more help at the store or replace the rude pharmacist
Pharmacist Rude Behavior
Serious concern with a pharmacist Ms. Mymoon Mohsin working at CVS store #8902.
I went with a prescription for durable medical equipment. During the purchase process, I needed to consult the pharmacist. Ms. Mymoon Mohsin was behind the desk so I asked “Are you the Pharmacist, I need to talk to you”.
Ms Mymoon Mohsin, took my request as offensive and demonstrated a very disappointing facial reaction. She said she did not like the way I talked to her. On further conversation, she said I am intimidating her and she was not feeling safe. Ms. Mymoon Mohsin was wearing a headscarf and to me appeared to play the racial/ethnic card to her advantage and threatened me of potential escalation of calling Cops. I am requesting CVS management to Reprimand Ms Mymoon Mohsin for unprofessional interaction with customer and attempt to bring her race, play her race card to intimidate the customer.
Ms Mymoon Mohsin if not reprimanded is a liability for CVS.
Desired outcome: Reprimand her for unprofessional behavior and to stop playing reverse race card to her advantage to threaten customer
Covid 19 booster shot
On April 6th, I went to take a second booster shot at CVS/Target 325 New Byhalia Rd, Collierville, TN 38017. I had my first Pfizer booster at this location four months back, and my vaccine card was on the phone. The pharmacist refused to give me a shot since I didn't have a physical card with me. She could find my earlier covid 19 shot records in her computer but insisted on a physical vaccine card that I didn't have.

Good morning, I just found out that my CVS (Store #8756) is closing in May. There is another CVS (Store #3170) that is 2 blocks away. However, I'm sure that you don't visit these stores. So, I wanted you to know the Store #2170 is dirty, disorganized stores and the employees are hard to find and ignorant. This is a 24 hours that I avoid at all costs. I find...
Read full review of CVSReceiving flu and covid-19 vaccine
Date: 01/25/22
CVS: Location 301Central street, Winchendon, Massachusetts, 01475
Problem/ issue:
Vaccine Administrator at this cvs location for my first covid 19 and flu shot vaccine did NOT sterilize or clean the area of my skin prior to administering both my vaccine shots on this day during my appointment I believe was at 10 am. Her description: She told me her name was Maria, she had big eyes, medium to larger built. The second shot I had for my covid 19 vaccine about 2 weeks later on 02/15/22, I confirmed with the lady whom gave me my shot that day that the area was suppose to be cleaned and I let her know that my last shots that the lady never did it and she did not seem to care nor point me to any manager to complain. I also requested to see my needle come out of package and asked to see the identification on the vaccine that she was going to distribute to me the second visit because of the lack of professionalism from the first visit, she did this but after opening needle in front of me and taking the vaccine out of canister she then told me that she forgot the top of the needle in the back and left for the back room with my already made vaccine. My main concern is the unsafe practices during my visit and would caution anyone else whom goes here. I thought that was odd and unprofessional and sketchy. I then requested she do the whole process again in front of me and she then did. In addition toward the end of my visit she was speaking with another pharmacist and was making very odd comments that weren't needed, and drinking beverages while working with me. Very sketchy pharmacist and the vibe there. I would look into this locations operation 100%.
Desired outcome: People involved held accountable and CVS should really look into location and the conduct of the employees.
Pharmacy error
On 2/27/22 I went to my local CVS STORE # 07881 for first dose of shingles vaccine. Clerk told me she tried various ways to submit to insurance and it would not go through. I paid out of pocket 203.78. I later called insurance company (Medicare) and was told that the drugstore had erroneously submitted it as a "request and cancel" meaning the shot was never given. The shot is covered by my insurance but the pharmacy manager, Jessica Tamaiev, today told me that they could not re submit to the insurance as I paid out of pocket even though it was their error. Also the vaccine does not appear on my cvs online vaccination record although Ms. Tamaiev told me it would. She printed a page that has some information on it but has new price of 211.99. It does not have the lot number of the injection as is recorded on other vaccine records. I would like this.
Please advise as this has been dragging on and the local CVS manager is both very rude and unhelpful.
Bonnie Olson
Fix the problem and an apology
Never answer the phone when customer call Pharmacy. Have called a number of times and wait for someone to pick up over 45 minutes and still get no one to pick up. Tried for 4 hours and never get anyone to answer. I also tried by calling the line for hospital or from a doctors office and get no answer most of the time. If someone answers that line they will...
Read full review of CVSBad customer service!!!
I briefly had my prescriptions at the owatonna target store. Very disorganized andthe pharmacist lied to me. When I needed them to transfer the prescriptions, they did not even send all them poor customer service and did not know how to process the prescriptions right! Oh when you do a survey, they do not call you like they say are.
Desired outcome: None needed people need to know about the bad service we have received.
Pharmacists at CVS on Madison Avenue, Mankato, MN
Don't expect to be able to talk with your pharmacist over the phone. They blow off their phone calls or just aren't there. You can wait for 15+minutes on the phone to no avail. Answering their pharmacy phone to talk to their clients/patients in person apparently isn't in their job description. Sad & uncalled for. Where is the management oversight?
Desired outcome: None. I'll not shop at CVS anymore for anything.
Cashier
My wife and i are Senior Citizens and recently visited our neighborhood store, #7251 in North Las Vegas. We use this store for the pharmacy, buy groceries, and health supplies. We are Care members and have always been treated well.
Today we bought groceries and a bottle of wine. We went to the self serve register like we always do, not knowing we couldnt buy alcohol there, as we had never bought it before. The cashier, Karen, yelled from her register, "you need to come to the register you cant buy alcohol there". I walked over to her and said we were not aware of that and she said, "I told you that" to which i replied you never said anything to us, and she then said,"Yes i did, its not my fault if you didnt hear it". I guess that was a dig on our age. This was in front of a line of customers, and she didnt stop she kept repeating that she had told us. My wife is now crying because she is yelling at us and the other customers are laughing at us.
We have never been treated this poorly in any CVS or any other store before. There was no reason to treat us like that and she could have simply walked over to the self service register and tell us in a normal tone that we needed to go to her register.
Desired outcome: I believe that she needs to be reprimanded. If no one says anything to her this behavior will be repeated.
Mistreated by a lady in the pharmacy department
My name is mai , I’m a crew member, I was having trouble with my synecdoche , I went to cvs on the 49th street Nyc and I tried to find in the shelf anything to make me better especially that I have to fast for hours for Ramadan month as I am Muslim , I didn’t recognize any so I headed to the pharmacy to ask and the small door was opened and there were many medications for the sinex so I enter a step forward to check which is the better and a lady was trying to help but the other lady spoke in a very rude way to her colleague referring to me , the small door was closed and I was confused between 2 medications and the lady was helping me to choose but the other one again spoke in a very rude way that I have to finish choosing as they will close in 2 minutes so I had chosen one of them but also told her not to give me if I am not having an American id, so they didn’t gave me and it was in the shelf but the difference is that the other one last for 24 hrs .
The problem iis that I felt so bad as I couldn’t sleep till I decide to write you. Nobody has the right to treat customers in a rude way even if they are following rules , there are many nice ways to refuse.
I wish you get my point ,
Prerscription Pick-Up
I walked .7 miles to the CVS on 231 Massachusetts Ave., Boston, MA to pick-up my prescription, which I needed. I was told by the pharmacy employees to come back because they were all going to lunch at the same time. I told them I couldn't come back because I had to get back to work. They refused to get my prescription for me and pulled down the track blinds so customers couldn't get in. This was at 1:00 in the afternoon. I complained to the manager and she said nothing can be done.
Now I need to go the entire weekend without my prescription. I've never heard of a pharmacy closing in the middle of the day. Thought you should know.
Desired outcome: Just wanted to let you know. I'll be switching pharmacies since I need to pick-up prescriptions on mu lunch break.
front checkout
I had a cash rewards coupon for $9.19. We had a prescription to pick up and wanted to buy some vitamins also. My husband gave the lady behind the pharmacy counter the cash coupon along with the vitamins and she scanned the coupon and said that we had to use it at the font counter. Needless to say when we got to the front counter when the manager scanned the coupon it said redeemed. My husband argued with him and he came around the counter and told us to get out of his store and never come back. Needless to say, we won't.
This occurred March 31st around 12:00 PM.

4th Covid Vaccine.
I am a transplant patient. I have a Dr's note saying I am immunocompromised and would benefit from a 4th booster. The first time I tried at CVS on Washington in Springfield Illinois I was told I need a doctor's note. I got a doctor's note and came back. The Pharmacist told me I should stick to Pfizer and the CVS on Stevenson Drive in Springfield Illinois. When I got there, I was denied my vaccine and told I needed to wait a couple weeks till the FDC, or some other initials okayed it. CVS is taking appointments for immunocompromised to be vaccinated.
Desired outcome: I need my vaccine for my protection.
Service
I purchased one box of HYDRXYCUT BLACK, the box had a coupon attached "Use now $5.00 off". I get to the register and the coupon is scanned and register is saying coupon is expired. The manager is called to the front to help, she says the coupon is expired and it can't be used. She was nasty in her tone of voice; her body language was as if we were...
