If you own a gun, I would encourage you to leave it at home before coming to this CVS location, as you are likely to kill everyone in sight, perhaps even yourself. It's the worst. The most incompetent (and absent) staff of maybe any store I've been in anywhere. This place needs new management in a big way. It's like the CVS location that time forgot. No matter what time of day or day of the week, there is always a long ass line to check out and never enough employees there to wait on customers. To make matters worse, the staff are generally disgruntled and despondent. I've had better experiences at the post office and the DMV! read more

I called late one night looking for a plunger and they were a hot mess and didn't know whether or not they had one (they did). Either way love that they are 24 hours! Large CVS with frozen food section and dry goods. Basically anything you need late at night. read more

This girl name Shaquana she is a good sales associate she helped me with the products I was looking for, the hair products are amazing she help me picked out and she was so polite and always smiling. She knows what she's doing and what she's talking about she know a lot of information about everything. The store is great and the stuff are fit and clean I like the self checkout it's faster for me. I will be coming back to this store again :-) read more

I actually like this CVS. I have never used the Pharmacy but then, I never use chain pharmacies unless I absolutely have to which isn't often. I actually schlep here from Sunset Park just for the savings. Yup, I waste 4.50 to travel here just because the sales are THAT good. To me as a chain overall CVS offers the lowest prices, especially on sale items, throw in the extra bucks and special coupons and you got it made! I like this store because it's always empty. Maybe all the bad reviews? Either way I never have to worry about long lines here, but maybe I just have great timing. One thing I DO hate is when they have something really good on sale, it's never on the shelf! Today I scored $36 dollars worth of hair products for $16 AND got a $5 extra bucks coupon, which I used on my second purchase (I'm one of those extreme couponers when it comes to beauty supplies lol) $50 worth of Maybelline products and each one was buy one get one half off, throw in $10 off using the machine in the front of the store that printed out a coupon by scanning my card (5 off maybelline products/5 off 20 or more skin care items) plus my $5 extra bucks, and I spent less $14 on makeup. I wouldn't care how shitty the service is, with prices like that here in NY, I am a happy camper!!! read more

I go in to pick up a prescription I dropped off a few days earlier. I wait in line to speak to the pharmacist for 15 minutes . I give the pharmacist my name. I wait some more. The pharmacist asks to speak to me privately. The pharmacist questions me about my prescription. I answer some questions I don't think are relevant. The pharmacist says my insurance will not cover my prescription. I say my insurance has been covering this prescription for quite some time. I ask the pharmacist for more information. The pharmacist mumbles something. I ask him to repeat himself. The pharmacist says I don't look like I "need" this prescription. I say "what?" The pharmacist then declines to fill my prescription. I become upset. I sort of call the pharmacist a jerk. I ask for my prescription back. The pharmacist will not give me back my original prescription. Much yelling ensues. Eventually original prescription is returned to me. I leave, never to return. read more

Unfortunately the pharmacy location at this CVS is no longer open 24 hours. It would have been nice if they made some sort of effort to pro-actively notify their customers of this. Nope. Oh, and when I expressed this to the lovely woman manning the cash register and suggested that we'd be switching to a different pharmacy as a result, she politely flipped me off as we walked out. Classy. (And -f- you too, lady)! read more

Manager Mike is a wonderfully helpful guy. Very unusual in a chain store like this. Also, an employee actually came up to me to ask if I needed help looking for something. Manager Mike's training? Probably. Also, I got a flu shot administered by the ultimate professional... kind, informative and skilled. I think his name was Ben... not sure . But very pleasantly surprised at the professionalism at CVS today!!! read more

The dim lighting and stacks of boxes littering the aisles allow me to test my agility and navigation skills. The pharmacists often appear to have a reasonable degree of interpersonal skill. And the self-checkout machines work at least 50% of the time. Great CVS? Or GREATEST CVS? I think the answer is clear. read more

I was absolutely shocked by my experience at this cvs. This was my first time at this location and I was there to pick up a photo order. I waited in line and was called up to the front. I stepped up to get assistance and said, "I'm here to pick up a photo order." The lady asked for my last name, I said "Smith" she then walked away talking to her co-workers angrily about someone who was on break. She came back to me with no order and said "are you sure you ordered something?" with the most attitude I have ever received. I said "Yes, I can pull up the email. I ordered it on January 20th." she then scoffed and checked again. She asked the other team members if they keep orders from the 20th and they said yes and continued working with the next person. She threw the photo order on the counter. In shock, I was just starring while she scanned the items. I then reached into my wallet to get my card and she said "is there a problem" I said no & continued my transaction and she handed me my receipt. I am so shocked beyond belief that she is a manager and for no reason was rude to a customer. Everyone in line was shocked too. This is not ok & I believe she needs to be spoken to. Her name is Deandrea and she is a "Team Member Manager." There was literally no reason for her to be rude to me, I never reacted to her rudeness with attitude back and everyone around me was in shock. CVS should really consider the type of people they have running their store and interacting with customers. She seemed like she was ready to fight someone at any moment and that should not be the case with customers. Register: 02 Store: 2498 I was there 2/5/19 at 12:55 pm. I wasn't even asked if I was a CVS member to get my points and she never said anything when she handed me my receipt. I will for sure never come back. I have already reached out to CVS about this issue. read more

Slowest pharmacy staff I have EVER dealt with. This place is extremely unorganized. I will not put this on all CVS Pharmacies. This one in Park Slope, Brooklyn is the absolute worst. It took over an hour to receive prescriptions which were called in the week prior. read more

I consistently leave here wondering why I have not found a new pharmacy yet. The pharmacy department is always unorganized, not knowledgeable, and always causes me stress. I was even given someone else's prescription once. read more

Do not buy the gift cards at cvs on 9st. I bought a Home Depot gift card last year and gave it to my father in law, and when he went to use it they said it was used all ready. The manager from cvs said there is nothing he could do. And I'm shit out of luck. read more

In comparison to the other local pharmacies (Rite Aid on 5th), this one has been consistently okay. I've never had a problem with my prescriptions, they've never misfiled it, and the pharmacist assistants went out of their way twice in helping me sort out insurance issues, going so far as calling me on my cell phone to tell me the results. As far as the lines and other customer service issues in the "grocery/health goods" section....well...is there a single pharmacy in the US that would get 4 stars? read more

I think this CVS has turned over a new leaf. They've certainly picked up the service aspect. The pharmacists are different from the ones I remember a yr ago... they are much MUCH nicer. Makes all the difference. They carry a lot of stuff, and they always refer me to local places when I ask for something they either don't have or are out of stock in. Even in a big chain store, you can make it work. read more

Worst, most unprofessional customer care ever! I should just stop going there, and CVS should look into that store as they are maing the whole chain look bad. 1st- when they stock,they block off whole isles to the point where you cannot even squeeze through to find what you are looking for. The females working at the store are all very impolite and look like they belong to a snotty black girl gang that;s gonna whooop your ass if you try to explain to them that actually the item you are purchasing is on sale. I was really close to saying something really rude today after i received about 1 ton of eye rolling and deep sighs and mean eyes when I could not locate my CVS card and took my time at the cashier. The "girl" would not answer my questions and she would not even bother to find my card using my phone # or name. The managers are pretty much the same, they obviously do not care what people they hire and are not much nicer when called up front. Third most of make up/personal and skin care items are about 10-15% more expensive than the neighbouring RiteAid DS. What gives??? Yeah I think I am never going back to that store because next time I won't be able to bite my tongue and I am going to get my ass kicked by them Cvs bi*ches. read more

If Rite Aid weren't so terrible, I might find CVS less tolerable. However, they get the job done, they usually serve me in a timely manner, and my prescriptions have always been done on time. They may not serve you with a smile, but at least they serve you. read more

This place can get so chaotic and most of the time, the cashiers are detached and unfriendly. But when you need medicine or toilet paper, this place gets it done. Also, the parking lot out back is pretty sweet. read more

Why is there always a big line here? It's supposed to be a convenience store right? They always have what I'm there for but I always wish I spent the time waiting in line just walking to Neergaard or somewhere instead. The parking lot is a plus but there's only 1 lane for entrance/exit and everyone is a jerk getting in and out. They just added self-checkout but it didn't help the line this past weekend. read more

They never have my very common name brand medication in stock. They are slow and not responsive to customers.

A mix of pretty good and very bad. They're consistently understaffed, and about half of their pharmacists are weak in English and slow. However, the chief pharmacists are very good. The assistants who give you the pickup packages are for the most part even weaker in English an even slower. The store seems to be a training site for inexperienced pharmacists and helpers, and there is constant turnover. They have a parking lot, which is a great convenience, and they check it constantly for people who aren't going to the store. They tow and charge $200, so don't even think about going anywhere else. Deliveries for the store on Thursdays, so you can't use the parking area then. The "front" of the store (for non-pharmacy items) is large and well stocked. read more

The worst pharmacy in the world. Dont come unless you plan to spend an hour here. I get the same medication for a year call before to do my refill and still its a problem every time read more

This CVS has a great card selection (reminds me of what I used to find at a Hallmark) and they have quite a few dry goods; I picked up Hershey's powdered chocolate here, in a pinch. They have lots of gift wrap and ribbons, as well as sweets for gift giving. They have a pharmacy, as well. Customer service is always great! Between the self service machines and the cashiers, there are very short ques. They have a parking lot for those who like that. And it's in a great location on 9th St between 6th Ave and 7th Ave. read more

I created a yelp account just to say how horrible this place is. The late night guy was completely rude and they always mess my stuff up.

I don't know why but I love shopping at this CVS location. It makes me feel like I'm at a friendly southern store because it has a parking lot, friendly staff that greet me at the entrance and the manager who is always going out of his way to help me when they have those sales item that sell out quickly. The store is also pretty spacious and tidy and it's very close to my second home in Brooklyn. I think I visit this location at least once a week looking for deals. A major plus is they are open 24 hours!!! read more

I use this store frequently and for the most part it's okay as far as chain drugstores go. My big complaint is with their new signs on the entrance doors that say " We are pet friendly, but sorry no dogs allowed. Except service dogs". What's pet friendly about that? From this logic what business is not pet friendly? Take them down and just say "Sorry, no dogs allowed". read more

Some really great and some really awful pharmacy experiences here. One of the angriest, nastiest pharmacies ever encountered sent my wife away from CVS forever and off to the place on 5th avenue. What turned me off the pharmacy personally was the racks of spiritual "pray for wellness" books by the pharmacy - no witch doctoring mixed in my medicine, please. I want science. read more

I lived near the hospital from 98-00 so this was my CVS. Then I moved closer to Flatbush so Duane Reade was my place. Now I live halfway between. I had been hearing rumors that things have improved and I have to say based on my recent experiences things are a little better. (Mainly because on 3 of my 4 most recent visits I used self check out) the 4th time I returned a thermometer that I not only opened but did not have a receipt for and they credited me. I am sure it is still kind of insane but I will never go to Rite Aid!!! I just won't!! read more

The pharmacist Slava was incredibly rude and unhelpful. He refused service to us saving we did not health insurance (which we do) and didn't help try to call our insurance to get it sorted. He made us feel uncomfortable and just told us we were rejected since we "don't have insurance". I will think again next time about going to their pharmacy. Frustrating to be paying $1600 + / month for a family and Not to receive service or help. read more

Great cashiers, friendly staff, I always find what I need. I simply can't find anything bad to say about this place. They have a self checkout counter, I personally avoid them in all places that have them.The workers here make my experience amazing. For example, if I forget to bring my CVS card,they look you up through your phone number, and hook you up with specials. Can't hate! read more

Prefer this place over rite aid. They have pretty much everything you could possibly looking for. The line is long yes but the customer service makes up for it. There are now 3 self service register which makes things much easier & keeps things going. Plus their open 24/7! read more

CVS Pharmacy...the place where customer service went to die. These pharmacy ladies just don't care about the service parts of their jobs. They send people back and forth on lines to talk to another representative instead of the representative helping you on the same line. Oh, and they never actually ask if you need medical advice for the prescription. I wish there were another pharmacy in the neighborhood. Cause this place is a joke. read more

Be very mindful of whom you deal with at this store, they obviously only help a particular group of people. The pharmacy will help you with limited explanation or reason if your prescription is incomplete, even with the phone call saying come and get your prescription "it's ready for pick up", only to get a song and dance after the fact. They rather turn you around and send you away instead of making a phone call or answering a few questions. They are zombies to humanity, pretty sad and scary at the same time. They gave me completely wrong information on my insurance and they are so codependent on technology, they will not follow up or explain to you what you need to do to get your medication, I feel as if they don't know or they help a "selected group". Thank goodness I work in healthcare, after listening to them I would of paid $500 for some medication or basically went without medication. Even after I called and spoke to a technician over the phone, he was completely dismissive and basically told me to get my meds someplace else....LOL at this point I could only laugh. I only needed an authorization from my doctor, which they were supposed to process before telling me to come to the store. I also had to call my insurance so they can fax some paperwork to my doctor's office for authorization, which CVS is responsible for doing once the medication comes up as "authorization needed". They should of notify my doctor when the insurance asked for authorization, it's so funny they are so dependent on technology and "can't even use it correctly".... I feel really bad for individuals who don't understand the whole insurance process because these CVS workers (I'm talking about the pharmacy workers) would not assist or help you, who knows how many people they have misguided, people are probably paying for meds that they shouldn't be paying for or people deciding to simply not get the meds because they were basically led to believe that they have no option. This is very serious and concerning...... read more

No complaints for this pharmacy. It has pretty good merchandise. I can always find my OTC meds. It has very good customer service with self checkout. read more

Went in for my passport photo coz it is near the doctor's office at 9th st. The girl who took the foto is totally unfriendly . I am super tense and my photo turned out so scary .. Why not friendly to customer ? read more

Just fine, with employee oddly posted up at the entrance OUTSIDE (not on a break, either). They may also carry Mexican Coca-Cola?

I don't go here for the pharmacy, however I do come here just about everything else. The extra care system is great with extra bucks etc. A lot of the staff is really sweet, except Lifa. Avoid her by all means she's just so moody and disrespectful. However she's somehow been there since the grand opening of the store. She even has looked me in the face to tell me I'm having a bad hair day or I look fat put on some pounds. Also lately I've noticed the lack of restocking they just don't restock anymore read more

The minute clinic schedule for Saturday is suppose to be 9 to 5( says it on the door), we came at 0930 for the flu shot and it wasn't open. Called before we came but couldn't get a live person to talk about insurance or hours. read more

Does not allow customers to use their restrooms. Therefore, I cannot allow this store to access my wallet. Plenty of other drugstores in area. read more

I had a strangely amazing experience at the CVS tonight. The manager - a nice guy from New Jersey named Mike, welcomed me with a cheery smile, when I entered the store. Then as I wondered around trying to find some organic healthy nail polish ( a long shot I know ) he asked me if I was finding everything I needed. So we engaged in a conversation about organic stuff- and natural nail polish and he explained that they were renovating the store in July and adding many organic and natural products including natural cosmetics. I was shocked and delighted. But MIKE!! He was sweet, kind, connecting, and when he talked about "His" store and how he wanted tit to be friendly and comfortable - I really got that THIS was MIke's store. And if this wasn't delightful enough - he helped me check out at the self check out- I told him how much I hated the self check out - and he did the check out part for me - and I told him how it was putting people out of jobs- and he assured me that it wasn't true - that it freed up about 100 hours for staff members to organize the store and help the customers find everything. It was such a great experience I will shop there more often. Mike went above and beyond. You HAVE TO go have the MIKE experience. You'll thank me. read more

It's a standard CVS so not much to say there, but I've always found the customer service at the Park Slope location to be more than helpful; a notch above other CVS spots, and most chain pharmacies. read more
