Buying vitamins at CVS is a new experience for me, primarily because CVS is a member of the OTC…read morenetwork, and I was given a $50 OTC gift card. Prices at CVS are competitive since it offers bogo deals on many store brand vitamins. I signed up for a free ExtraCare account to clip digital coupons and as a wallet for ExtraBucks rewards. They are not the easiest to work with but I hope the saving would be worth it. The self checkout was frustrating for someone new to CVS. It summoned help after I fumbled around a few minutes. She transferred my stuff to a cashier register to complete the purchase and explained to me how things work. Hopefully the process will be easier if/when I shop here again.

Many other pharmacies in Walgreens, CVS, Target, Walmart, etc. all close at around 5 PM and some aren't even open on the weekend (Sunday), but this one was. Not sure if this is just a change in CVS that I haven't paid attention to, or if it was always like that. There's self check out and the staff working was super friendly and helpful. Shout out to the cashier girl who talked Calico Critters with me, you a real one. Stock is fairly decent for seasonal items and it didn't look super disorganized. Lots of World Cup merchandise randomly and it's always so funny that the souvenirs for Irvine are ocean and beach themed when you're not even THAT close to the water but I guess it works in a pinch for those unfamiliar with California geography. Plenty of parking since it's in a super big plaza and the time where we went wasn't that busy (as many things have already closed).

Call in with a manufacturers discount coupon I was given, told it doesn't work. I call doctor and manufacture, told coupon is valid and instructions to ensure it goes through. Received another "ready for pick up" text Thursday 4/23, go in to pick it up on 4/24, spend an hour troubleshooting the coupon, told it still doesn't work. I tell them "I'll be back with my HSA card to pick up on Sunday" - return Sunday 4/26, told "medication is on hold"...sent to consultation window, told "the coupon does work" and the total is now $500...and it's not filled, in fact, it was never filled... I explain everything, they say "I don't know who worked with you, but the coupon works, but the item was never filled" - provide text showing it was filled, proceed to identify by name the 2 people who helped me troubleshoot on Friday, one of those identified claims "I never helped you"...after some pushback says "you declined the medication"...and the kicker, "the item is out of stock"... tl;dr First, they said it was $400, then they said coupon didn't work, then said they never helped me, then they say it was never filled. Then I prove it was filled, now they say they DID help me, but claim I declined it. Suddenly now the coupon works, it's $500, but it's out of stock? This place is a joke. Other things to note: The nearby hospitals send everyone here because it's 24 hours, so there's almost always a line. There are a few kind and patient staff members, but otherwise the rest are unhelpful and some will lie straight to your face.

The staff was great, but Walgreens prescription policy for my eye drops floored me! The doctor…read moreprescribed 7.5 (3 bottles) of eyes drops. I have purchased these at Ralph's and CVS multiple times. They are about $340 for the prescription. I picked them up and opened the package when I got home, there were only two bottles and they had charged the full amount. I called them and they said Walgreens policy is to only provide an 80-day supply and that was the two bottles and the correct cost. I was stuck with it, so I used up the two bottles in 60 days and went to refill, they said they would have to charge a penalty for an early refill. This is critical medication!! I moved my prescription to Amazon. They filled it same day. Gave me three bottles (7.5 as prescribed) and labeled it a 75 day supply for $247! I am never going back to Walgreens.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE at the front counter for the general store…read more Went in this evening around 7:30pm. Was purchasing several large cereal boxes and an electric razor. The cashier, Eddie, was extremely ARROGANT AND HARSH. He charged me for 2 bags, which was fine because I was using EBT for the purchase, so it would come off and it did, and then he charged for 2 more bags because the other 2 bags came off for the EBT. That means he manually charged me for a total of 4 bags. When I brought this to his attention, he said that since I was also purchasing an electric razor which is not a food item, he was completely justified in charging for the bag charges, even though I was purchasing 2 large boxes of cereal. I told him to cancel my whole order, as I was completely frustrated with him at this point, and he did not even inform me he was charging me for additional bags. To make matters worse, the assistant manager-Jeff was standing there and did not intervene in what was clearly a very bad customer service experience. I was so frustrated, I called the store back when I got home, and Jeff was very apathetic to me. I told him that I was extremely upset about what had just happened and also that he did not intervene, as Jeff has seen me there a few times and knows me as a regular customer there. Jeff did not want to take any proactive actions as part of the managerial staff there, and instead told me to call back in 2 days and speak with the store manager, David. This is actually the 2nd time I have had a horrible customer experience with Eddie. 2 months ago I purchased some food items and a battery for my smoke detector. Eddie charged me twice for the one single smoke detector I was purchasing. It was an ordeal to have him fix his error, as he insisted he had made no mistake at all. Then when he finally took off the extra charge, he was extremely ARROGANT AND HARSH, and made no apology for his mistakes and HORRIBLE ATTITUDE.

I arrived at the pharmacy counter at approximately 8:40 PM and joined the queue. I waited patiently…read morewhile the customer ahead of me was being served a process that took well over 15 minutes, causing a significant delay entirely outside of my control. At approximately 8:55 PM, a pharmacy staff member in a blue uniform approached me and informed me that the pharmacy was now closed and that I would need to return another time. I was given no opportunity to be served, despite the fact that: 1. I was physically present and in line BEFORE the closing time. 2. The excessive delay was caused by the transaction ahead of me -- not by any action on my part. 3. I was not warned at any point during my wait that I might not be served. 4. No reasonable effort was made to accommodate a customer who had been waiting in good faith. This is not simply an inconvenience depending on the nature of the prescription, a refusal to dispense medication to a patient already waiting in line can have serious health consequences. Turning away a customer who arrived before closing, due to a delay the customer had no part in creating, is both a failure of customer service and potentially contrary to your own service standards.

Also, the staff at my branch seems to change from week to week with the quality & knowledge being very erratic. One major benefit of dealing with a chain pharmacy is that they have a record of all the family prescriptions no matter what city or state you are in. This is VERY important if you run out of a prescription. This has happened several times over the years but I know I can get refills anywhere. The non-pharmacy part of the store has a wide selection of OTC meds & supplies which is helpful. I give them a rating of 3 1/2 because of the variability of the staffing & communication issues.
