The prescription phone service menu does not recognize my birthdate, or fulfill the prescription monthly auto renew (which I constantly sign up for) forcing me to wait on line to speak with a pharmacist every month. When I spoke with the pharmacist I was told to "call corporate it", with no guidance as to how to do so. You can and should do better than this, people.

CVS Service

Being a CVS customer for over 30 years. I have never been more disappointed in your operation I am simply trying to get my prescription transferred to a different pharmacy which was filled in Florida to where I am in ct. I have done this many times over the years since we live in both locations. I have called several times and visited the pharmacy and have spent countless hours wasting my time. I can be reached at 917.217.0496. Or email [protected]@yahoo.com. thank you Anthony fodera 10/31/1949

Desired outcome: Resolve this problem

On Aug. 30th I received the wrong medicine for a prescription. The pharmacist - J. Chiu from 1 Columbus Pl. NYC dismissed the mistake as if it wasn't important. She said to bring the Med. back to store and she will correct the mistake. This is not good enough for me as I could have gotten very sick for taking the wrong Med. Leslie Lockery

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint in regards to the incompetent and disrespectful way my calls to the CVS were handled today. The store in question is the one on Main St., in Watertown, MA. I called at 3:30pm to find out if psyllium husk interferes with the absorption of certain medication and supplements. I pressed 1, then 7 to speak with the...

Like many before me; I too am overly frustrated with CVS today. My daughter's IMPORTANT prescription was called in by her doctor on the 13th, it is now the 30th and CVS (I believe) has yet to fill it; though I can't be sure because we never got the automated text we usually do, and I can get them on the phone. Sat on hold for 40 minutes earlier today to be...

I was on hold for over two hours on the phone for this CVS pharmacy. This is the only CVS pharmacy in my area that is open 24 hours and I needed to order an important medication. I was ordering so it would be available as soon as I drove over. It would be nice to be attended on the phone but I eventually hanged up. There is no excuse why I should leave work...

My interactions with this pharmacy have always been up and down depending exclusively on the circumstances and the person that takes care of me. As much as I have praised the good service given to me by a few individuals, I am very direct when it is not so. Today, August 27, 2021, @ 10:00 AM, I went to pick up my medicines. There were only two people on the...

CVS Caremark insurance / customer service

My company has CVS/Caremark for our prescription insurance. What a joke they are! You are supposed to be able to go to any pharmacy you want to get your prescriptions, but it's all lies! I tried going to another pharmacy because I despise CVS pharmacies, and they refused to allow that pharmacy to fill any of my prescriptions! The other pharmacy is set up with goodrx to use when people don't have insurance or their insurance doesn't cover some prescriptions, so I let them use goodrx as my prescription insurance! I even got a few of my meds for cheaper than CVS/caremark insurance!
CVS pharmacies never have enough employees staffed to handle the customer load, and the employees they do have been rude, hateful, and nasty! One Muslim pharmacist gave me the wrong prescription, and when I took it back to get my prescription, the [censored] screamed at me! They literally stole $25 of my money because they refused to fix their mistake! And I'm on limited income and can't afford to waste any money!
It wasn't my fault she f-ed up her job!

I was at the CVS located at 11600 FM 1960 West, Houston, TX 77065. When I checked out of the "self check out" since no one was around, my receipt was all blank with no printing at all. I think while I was shopping, another person had the same problem, but I didn't know what it was until I checked out too. The young girl working there was clueless and then...

I scheduled a vaccine appointment for the CVS store on 1747 Cahuenga Blvd location for today 08.26.21 at 1pm… I arrived punctually and prepared at the assigned location and was told to wait an hour; the assigned nurse had gone on a lunch break.

CVS Home Depot gift card

On August 25 I purchased in one transaction two Home Depot gift cards at CVS (#[protected] York Rd. Towson, MD 21204. One for $100 and the other for $200; both were activated according to the receipt. The person who received the $200 told me it had a zero balance.

Phoned CVS #2216 that evening and was told there was nothing "she" could do about it but I could "come see" the manager between 1-7AM the next morning. That time was unreasonable and I said so; was told by 10am would be okay. I decided instead to phone and did so about 8:15 am on 8/26/21 because of concern that I would not see the mgr. if I waited until 10am.

Spoke to the manager, named King, and was told CVS would not refund the money because the card was activated and it was out of his hands but to phone Home Depot because it was their responsibility. And, so I did but was told that it was not their responsibility because it had been sold through a "third party" provider. For the next hour I was in a round-robin match between CVS and Home Depot. After my 4th phone call to Home Depot and finally speaking to someone with authority, and 3 conversations with King, knew I had lost the match so phoned my credit card bank and told them I am disputing payment to CVS. Also phoned Cash Star and they had no record of the gift card so what happened to "activated"?

Desired outcome: $200.00 returned

CVS Carepass

Carepass expired on 9/272021. I called to cancel on 8/20/21 as of expiration date. Representative cancelled as of 8/26. I called CVS carepass to correct error and they said there was nothing they could do. Supervisor not available. I have been dealing with other carepass issues for two months now with absolutely no resolution. No one that I can speak with has authority to correct errors that they themselves have made.
My email is [protected]@att.net.

Desired outcome: Reinstate my carepass benefits thru my original expiration of 9/27/21.

CVS Blade for men - shaving gel

I decided to try a 2 pack of the CVS Blade for Men shaving gel

The first can, the press button broke while trying to dispense the gel
The 2nd can, worked for about 4 try's then the gel was straining to come out

This was a nice attempt to copy the better product Edge Shaving Gel by Shick — Hydro 5

The CVS brand was very poorly made and useless, I ended up throwing both cans out in frustration

Desired outcome: Get off the shelf

CVS Closing cash drawer early

The CVS at the Watergate complex in Washington D.C. closed their final cashier with cash BEFORE the store closed. Obviously some clerks wanted to get out early. However, this is a violation of federal law. On each currency, there is a line about being used for all public and private debts. Now, businesses are trying to encourage people to use credit, fine, as long as cash lines are still available. The CVS identified here violated that requirement.

In fact, the more I think about it, I will file a complaint with the US Treasury as well.

Your clerks need to be advised of federal law, and should have reopened the cash drawer.

Kevin O'Connell 700 New Hampshire Ave., NW Apt. 702 Washington DC 20037

Desired outcome: OBEY THE LAW!

CVS Pharmacist and store manager

This is a complaint alleging denial of prescription med to a Senior. On 8.25.2021, total authorization to inquire and resolve was given to me on behalf of my mother, Shirley Mallory (700 12th St SE #210, Washington, D.C. 20003 — [protected]@gmail.com) a Senior citizen over 70, to address what appears to be a lie by the pharmacist who told my mother that her debit card was not on file for her to receive prescribed medicine to her home. This occurred in a phone call at 11:12AM, EST with a person in the pharmacy named "Alice" (very rude, and argued to alleged that my mother hung up on her) and the location was the 500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW location. Prior to today, my mother has received multiple deliveries from the CVS location. Also, I have gone into my mother's email and I see that there is, in fact, a card on file. See the attachment. Lastly, this complains will serve as notice to another forthcoming complaint to the local regulatory authority for D.C.- As a result of this act, my mother suffers from pain and CVS is at fault!

Desired outcome: Punitive Compensation in the amount of $200,000.00

The girls in the pharmacy are very unprofessional and have zero personalty like they hate life! I went back and forth for hours to get my sons prescription for antibiotics and couldn't find anything on his name even after doctors office calling them. It doesn't make sense since we been using the same pharmacy for past two years.

I had an appointment to get a flu shot today at the CVS on Lafayette Road, so after I left work today I decided to head in that direction. When I got there I went back to the pharmacy in the back of the store to let them know that I was there so the one girl said to have a seat and someone would be with me in a few. In the seating area was a white guy who...

CVS Vaccine mandate

I am a physician in Florida and have always liked to CVS pharmacy. However, due to your recent mandate of the vaccine I will not be able to support you in the future. I will send my patience elsewhere for medication‘s and will verbally encourage my patients to boycott CVS. There is no science to vaccinating people especially during a pandemic. If you don't know that then you don't know very much! Furthermore, the fact that the FDA approved the vaccine means absolutely nothing! If your higher levels are truly getting the vaccine at least you're participating in the same incompetence that you're forcing on your employees.
