CVS Pharmacy

My daughter needed her prescriptions at 15840 South Cicero Avenue. We called June 5th, 2021 to deliver meds to 3517 South 57th Avenue. CVS pharmacy mentioned an old address on Claremont (old over 8 yrs) we gave new address. Called CVS on June 8th to find out where is medications and was told sent out to Claremont St. I said this is a CVS error and we need medication now for my daughter. Pharmacist Kathy said can only provide 3 days worth and for me to get in touch with post office to find medications. I stated why should I research when it was CVS error and that CVS should redo the prescription and research themselves. After constantly trying to get the refill she finally did it and I had to pick up and charged me $5.67. I said well what about the originally payment I made which was $24.51. And why is there a huge difference, she couldn't answer. I said okay please refund me for the original purchase CVS lost. and she said she cant until someone finds the original mail order. Why cant I receive my refund again when it was CVS error. Then she said go to store to get refund. I was like you all are far from me that's why I requested the delivery in the first place. So now its 6/17 and yet no refund. This is ridiculous especially if CVS was able to take my credit card over the phone so easily why cant they refund me over the phone. Now every time I call to follow up I am on hold for 15 minutes or more. this is why I decided to write my complaint. Please resolve so I don't have to keep dealing with a frustrating situation that wasn't my fault to begin with. I'm truly disappointed. Yolanda Mendez [protected]

Desired outcome: Receive my refund of $24.51 back to my credit card without me going out of my way for CVS

CVS Call Center

I have requested several times to be removed from the CALL list. I receive call all day ANYTIME even a Sunday morning at 8:30am! I spoke w/customer service several times regard this "harassment". I have the app and I am set-up for text alerts only. If I remove the contact or block it, I will not receive any calls from my local CVS pharmacist. Seems odd...I have them (my local pharmacist) in my contacts, yet each time I receive an automated call it pops up as my local pharm. THATS INSANE.
AND MUCT BE FIXED.
I spoke to my pharmacist & as I mentioned a representative twice. I was told by my pharmacist I would have to call cooperate. (which I did)I once stayed on the line to see if I could "opt-out" there was no option.
And if I do "opt-out" I will not receive text messages.

I TIRED EVERY GOD DAMN NUMBER FOR CVS COOPERATED AND I CANNOT AND WILL NOT WAIT OVER 10 TO 20 MINS TO SPEAK TO A HUMAN BEING.

PLEASE...PLEASE update the APP to have PHONE and/OR TEXT options.
Keeping the phone only for text.

AGAIN THIS IS COMPLETE HARRASMENT. LEAVE ME ALONE.

CVS pharmacist

I have gone to CVS on New Brittan Ave, west Hartford Newington CT
for over 20 years . One pharmacist In particular work's the knight shift has found it impossible to give me my prescriptions, For Over 4 to 5 times I have gone at night for my prescription's, and every time after walking for 45 minuets to CVS, The Pharmacist claims the Husky Sytsma is down . I can understand that . Because when I usually go at knight and the other framesets that's is there tells me the same thing, and I usually wait 1 hour more or less and the system is back up, and I get my prescriptions . ( best pharmacist ever )But he pharmacist in the knight of 06/13/2021 always has a problem where I can't get my prescription NO Mather what day I go . for the 4th or 5th time, tells me the system has been down from 12: midnight, I was their at 2:30 AM, Then he tells me there is a systam reboot at 3 am till 3:30, so I SAY OK I am in a lot of pain, I still need my prescriptions . I will wait . And after waiting till 4:30 am, he tells me the system might not be up till 8:30 in the morning . after I waited after 2 hours' . And there is nothing he can do . Really insinuating for me to go away .
What a deference in customer care between the pharmacist on06/13/2021 and the other pharmacist that's usually there . Medication is sometimes a matter of life or death .

Another time he tells me the Tylenol precreation that husky pays for is the same as the one of the shelf . If that's so, how come husky pays for the prescribe one and not the one of the shelf ?

Desired outcome: Don't know , you should get some one more professional .

I checked cost of Shingles shot online for CVS and it said with coupon it would be $155.00. When I checked with my local CVS they said $198 or $199. I asked about the coupon and they said their system could not take it and I also asked about GoodRX coupon which is also $155. and got the same answer. Why does it say one thing on line and another at the CVS pharmacy in Statesboro, GA.

CVS Walk in service denied

CVS regularly advertises about walk in services at minute clinics. I Recently saw their ad about walk in Covid antibody testing. Went to my local site in worth Illinois, at around 10 AM on a Saturday. Was directed to sign into a kiosk to make an appointment. Say what? I am a walk-in patient. Was told that they only see people by appointment and was given an appointment for one hour 40 minutes later. I waited. During the time they saw a total of three patients. With repeated time gaps in between. There was no one else waiting. Yet they never even considered seeing me in between patients. Ridiculous! Walkins should be seen between other patients as time permits. I was there for a test it took a total of 10 minutes of their time to [censored] my finger and get my payment, yet they never even considered seeing me. I have pictures of the empty waiting room. I was literally the only one there. Total false advertising and horrible practice by local employees! You need to do better.

Desired outcome: Stop or false advertising or make your employees treat walk-ins

This is the second or third Tim I'm complaining about this store and it continues to get worst it's poorly stocked understaffed and to add insult to this already sad situation is that there was a line for the pharmacy almost to the front door of the store how is that... And the pharmacist had the worst attitude... I like most will be taking my business elsewhere... My name is Jon Pisacone

CVS Employee conduct

I have a complaint regarding the appearance of an employee at your MLK Blvd. CVS (Durham, NC). I observed an employee (5'2", Black, light-complected, blond hair, female) dressed in tight clothing. Her body outline was visible. This is offensive and, in certain cultures and religions, it is unacceptable and never allowed. Her hair was also improperly dressed — blond colored with dark undertones. The hair style was unprofessional and dearly unattractive. In businesses where food and health products are sold, hair styles must be neat, manageable, and standard. This was not the case for your employee. Her hair dress was baudy and out of place.

I complained to a white male employee (dark hair, 5'3", medium build) who was unhelpful. He had a rough, aggressive manner which was frightening and off-putting. To encounter him on the street I would place my hand before my child as we passed. Please hire approachable males who know no aggression.

I finally spoke to the pharmacy manager who was of little help.

Approx. 6pm, 6/10.

Desired outcome: Fire employee(this includes the aggressive male;women should not be stood down in stores;this is crazy).

CVS pharmacy

In attempting to fill my mothers pain medication (which was filled at this cvs for many years) the pharmacist tried to charge me $48 instead of the usual $3.00. I questioned why and he couldn't explain it. Then after he played on the computer few a few minutes, he asks me "does your mother know of the opiod issues?" I replied yes and that I control her medicine. He says "oh, ok it will be $3.00" WHAT? He claimed it was a new issue from Medicare. I deal with Medicaid/Medicare daily and there is no such a question. And now...trying to reach someone at CVS is an absolute joke. This complaint probably will never be addressed. Thats fine though, I can take it to the news.

Desired outcome: a human contact reply

I recently visit my local CVS to pick up a prescription as I have for the last 7 years and I have never received such poor customer service. The pharmacy tech was so rude. She refused to rang up my 4 items I wanted to purchase, stating she was to busy, she was ringing up my prescription. There was no one else standing in line and one car in the drive thru...

CVS service

On June 4th 2021, at 11:55 and 11:33 am I was on hold for 30 minutes and no one ever answered the phone. This is not the first time this has happened. I have witnessed 5 employees in the pharmacy at the same time, 2 just standing around with 2 calls waiting and no one would answer the phone. this is very poor service. Why is this happening.?

Desired outcome: BETTER SERVICE

The CVS located on Hwy 15 South in Hazard, KY has consistently had extremely poor service for over 2 years now. This pharmacy is in a small, rural town where customers travel often as much as 45 minutes to get to this CVS. The most problematic thing at the pharmacy section of this CVS is, each time you call to speak to the pharmacist or an assistant, the...

CVS covid vaccine advertise walk ins, but told us to make an appoinment when we arrived

My husband wanted the J&J covid vaccine so we looked online and found out the CVS on 191 and south dixie highway were offering and advertised walk-ins. We went at 5 pm on a Saturday 6/5 and no one was there for the vaccine. We asked for the Covid vaccine and they said we need to make an appointment. I told her I saw online that you were offering walk-ins. Her response was to come back at 6pm when we are closed and we will see if we have the vaccine available. We decided to go to Publix pharmacy and they took us with no issues. CVS should not advertise something they can not honor.

I have called the CVS store in Flagstaff, AZ, at [protected], 7-9 times over the last 3-4 months and nobody answered the phone at the front of the store. We have a Walgreens, Walmart and Target here and they always answer their phones. It seems to happen more in the late afternoon until closing. For this reason I have started shopping more at Walgreens. I just do not understand this. My number is [protected]. Thank you.
