CVS pharmacy not filling prescription

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

Thank you

My Mother and I are at CVS getting out boosters and several customers are not wearing masks. CVS of all businesses should refuse service unless a customer is wearing a mask. That's why Covid once again is on the rise. And why I haven't been in a CVS since the start of the pandemic. Shame on CVS get a backbone and stand up for everyones health why is the...

CVS Unethical behaviour

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

my e mail is [protected]@yahoo.com

Thank you,
Sharon Lieber

Desired outcome: I got the medication 4 hours later. The guy wasn't telling me anything, and the girl was playing with my mind. I really didn't need this mind playing

CVS I am hard at hearing and employees with masks are impossible to understand. Stop discriminating against hard of hearing person

I went to the CVS on Rt 18 in Weymouth, MA as walk in for booster Covid booster shot. After the go around with the hearing problem she writes on a piece of paper that they do not accept walk-ins, when in fact the sign above me says walk-ins. I feel I am being discriminated against and am informing other veterans to not go to CVS because of their discriminating practices. my email is [protected]@aol.com

CVS Prescription refill/customer service

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.

Desired outcome: Better regard for their customers and better customer service.

CVS Ivermectin prescribed but not filled

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.

Desired outcome: A change of policy on ivermectin for covid

CVS Customer service

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.

Desired outcome: I'm hoping someone can do something about this particular store.

CVS Getting my prescriptions on time

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

Diane Lestuk

Desired outcome: Can someone check this store and find out why they don't have the pills when you need them

CVS The pharmacy not answering phone.

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.

Desired outcome: Answer the phone

CVS Horrible customer service

CVS Pharmacy farrier ln, Franklin TN #6399. Worst pharmacists(plural) I've ever experienced. Horrible customer service and horrible delays. If you're using this pharmacy prepare for long waits, screwed up prescriptions, back and forth with docs, insurance companies, on and on. Just bc of the pharmacists. Just a warning. They're really bad and they know it, which gives them the attitude that they take out on everyone around them. Really horrible, can't express enough how bad. Try waiting 1 hour for a prescription refill that wouldnt show up on their automated line so they couldn't help me although I have the bottle with the dates and names and numbers that they gave me. My doctor is literally right across the street. You could throw a rock and hit it from the parking lot of CVS. So why does it take a week for them to communicate? When I could've gone down there and physically walked it across the street. It's [censored]ing horrible service and intentional it feels like

CVS Presciption not filled in a timely manner.

A prescription was ordered by my physician on October 26th I received a text from CVS explaining that by law it would be filled on November 14th. Today at the store I was told that it was just ordered yesterday and may be in by tomorrow the soonest.
Today, the next day, I was told that it would be ready and to come in at a certain time. It was not ready and I spent nearly an hour waiting.

Desired outcome: Pharmacy stall should be incouraged to be more mindful of customer service.

CVS Pharmacy

Over the last month or so, I've called CVS Pharmacy in several areas of Pennsylvania either to schedule a vaccine, test, or obtain details regarding a prescription my document was supposed to call.

I've noticed when I've called I'm being routed through an automated system that either hangs up on me or doesn't help me, so I'm left with no answers.

I had a doctor's appointment three days ago, so I called CVS to see if they received my prescription since I hadn't heard anything from them. I am currently on minute 59 of holding. I was routed through the automated system for about 3 minutes and have been on hold for another 57 or so minutes.

While an automated system is a good idea, if it doesn't help your customers, someone needs to answer the phone. We're not trying to -purchase gum or mints but potentially life-saving prescriptions. I'm dealing with an issue and don't have the prescription I need to combat the issue due to CVS' blatant disregard for customer's well being.

While I've been on this hour hold, I figured I'd schedule my flu shot. I clicked on SEVEN different days and the CVS I choose claimed to have ZERO flu shot appointments. Additionally, during this lengthy hold, I tweeted about my experience. CVS deleted two of my tweets. I posted a third that remains as of being on fold for an hour and three minutes.

Desired outcome: Help with prescription

CVS Prescription Service

I asked for over 2 years that my prescriptions not be automatically filled and the CVS Pharmacy located 1022 W Lincoln Highway, DeKalb, IL 60115 and the pharmacy can't seem to follow that simple request. I called today to have my 5 Fiasp Flex Pens filled and was placed on hold 4 times by the pharmacy tech. I waited over 45 minutes to speak to someone and when I asked to speak to the pharmacist I was told he was busy and the pharmacy tech hung up on me. I have to use CVS Pharmacy because of my insurance. I have never had such POOR service. If the pharmacy can't provide service because they don't have the staff, why don't they hire more people and allocate resources to providing service to the patients that they have.

Desired outcome: Better Service

CVS CVS Store

I've shopped at CVS for years and have always been pleased. My neighborhood store has gone so far down hill that I promise I will never set foot in that store or any CVS store again. I had a few items to purchase and there was one other woman standing at the counter. I assumed, since it had been a couple minutes that the cashier was looking for something behind the counter for her. Finally, one of the CVS personal came up to the woman and said, use the self check. The woman, who had one item in her hand looked very confused but proceeded over the self check. Then the CVS woman said anyone with a card or cash...by this time there were several people standing behind me and she ushered them over to form a new line at self check. I guess I was invisible so I turned, placed my items on the nearest shelf and walked out. NEVER AGAIN WILL I SPEND ONE CENT AT THIS HORRIBLE STORE. SO SAD BECAUSE I USE TO BE A VALUED CUSTOMER. This incident happened on Thursday, November 11, 2021 around 11:15 a.m.

Desired outcome: Find Managers and store personnel who give a hoot about their customers.

CVS Short Staffed

I read an article a few days ago on how CVS is really taking a hit with in store thefts.
I have an idea, hire more people. When I go into my CVS, there is rarely more than one person on the floor and they encourage people to self check out..really?
Second, the Pharmacy is grossly understaffed. I tried calling today, on hold for 30 minutes then was disconnected. Tried a second time and after 20 minutes was disconnected again. My issue was that I had to have someone pick up my prescription because I'm having breathing problems and could/can not drive at this moment. But that's ok, they gave him the prescription and then charged him for 2 boxes of Imodium instead of the 1 I received. I was going to make it clear to tell the clerk I needed one of those as well, but unable to contact. So I got charged for 2. I tried calling again this afternoon to explain the error but, on hold again for another 20 minutes, this time I hung up. I'm seriously considering going back to Walgreens.

Desired outcome: More staffing makes for satisfied customers

CVS Pharmacy service support

Re: CVS at 14735 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA
Contacting the Pharmacy is nearly impossible. I've called during the day, evenings and between 12AM and 5AM. It doesn't matter-hold times are unimaginable. There are a number of issues:
1. Phone system can't efficiently queue calls. Calls are either dropped or don't register to be picked up.
2. More often, hold times can be longer than one hour. Call time doesn't matter.
3. I live a mile from the store, while on hold, I've driven to the store and found calls aren't picked up-the Pharmacy is too busy.
4. I know most all the Pharmacists well and I respect their knowledge, but calling the store is counterproductive. Our doctors have complained as well. This problem existed before COVID, so it's not a result of COVID.
5. Brian, the store manager said it's not his problem or responsibility, while that may be true he should be able to help resolve the problem. It's a reflection on the store.

Desired outcome: Solve the problem!

CVS Racial Slur and Discrimination

I was in Texas when I walked into the store inquiring about a pair of scissors to purchase what aisle it was on and the clerk was not helping me and when i approached her about not locating an item she stated to me that "YOU PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS WANTING SOMETHING FOR NOTHING". I asked her who is you people three times she shoved over a pair of scissors that i was asking for to purchase and the item i already had i paid for and she walked off and when i asked her what her name was she stated as she was walking towards the back of the store DONT WORRY ABOUT IT. I notified the manager the next day before i returned to Tampa she stated she would speak to the clerk and call me. I had to call her back and she said i spoke to her and she said she had family issues so i asked did you ever ask what she meant by YOU PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. The manager said we cant discuss how we talked to her and I said she wasn't made to call me to apologize.

Desired outcome: That employee fired
