CVS Pharmacy

The pharmacy itself was very slow to fill a prescription we needed before we left town. A day…read morebefore we were set to leave, the pharmacy had still not fully filled the prescription. The situation was salvaged however by the great work of Drucilla, one of the pharmacy technicians. She was able to call around and find a Walgreens pharmacy very close to this one that was able to fulfill my prescription in a half an hour. Thank you, Drucilla!

The pharmacist called me to get my information and said it would be ready soon. I was at a dinner event I could not leave so I told her I would pick it up in the morning. When I went in, a rather unfriendly pharmacy tech said it was not ready. She put the prescription together and with tax it was over $300, for steroids.....Nothing exotic. In doing research for the refill I found that Chewy Mail Order Pharmacy has excellent prices, and I always get good service and great customer service from them. The EXACT SAME MEDICINE was about $8.00 from Chewy. I called Walgreens, no mistake on their "cash price" for the medicine. No refund, no recourse. Reportedly Costco has good pet med prices as well. What predatory pricing from Walgreens. You can bet I will never set foot in one again.

We stopped in before this Amazon Go location closed its doors for good…read more First of all, I needed to open my Amazon app to get in. I was really curious as to how I could shop and walk out without scanning and paying at a checkout. Apparently, there are cameras and shelves are weighted, supposedly. If something is removed, it's assumed that I was purchasing it. There were helpful employees ready to answer questions, and they offered free reusable bags for me to use. I walked out with a few things and a receipt was emailed to me hours later. I was also able to see the itemized receipt on my Amazon purchase history. There was a minor mistake on the receipt for some taco seasoning that I was charged for since I picked it up to look at, but put it back without purchasing. Not a big deal since I got other items on sale. It was an interesting concept overall.

The first thing you encounter are gates* that supposedly require you to "scan your app" (or swipe a…read morecredit card) to get in to shop. I had neither an app nor a credit card, but fortunately a considerate employee permitted my entrance anyway, and I ended up paying with cash (let's be thankful for small miracles these days). Once inside, what do they offer for sale? About 90% is the same old convenience foods you'd find in any supermarket or 7-Eleven. The other ~10% are sandwiches, salads, and wraps that seem to be exclusive to Amazon Go. Given the size of the marketing push that Amazon is making for these stores, it seems like much ado about nothing. I'm NOT saying that Amazon Go is bad; it's just that I expected more uniqueness for all the ballyhoo they're making on it's behalf. I seem to recall some advertisements bragging about customize-able sandwiches, but nothing like that was in evidence. Perhaps 8pm on a Sunday was outside the window of availability for that. Another advertisement bragged "It's great; you walk in, grab and go and no need to wait in line or deal with cashiers", as if we customers are supposed to jump for joy at the idea of stores without employees ("How long until YOUR job is also downsized with software/apps?"). All in all, Amazon Go underwhelmed me, perhaps mostly because I'm old and am put off by the twin ideas of a retail establishment (a) having physical barriers to entry, and (b) bragging that their employees are few in number and mere tokens in their ultimate goal of employee-less retail experiences. * The kind that reminds one of the sort used to keep horses evenly aligned before the beginning of a race. If I'm ever moved for a second visit (which is doubtful), I may try pushing my way through them without scanning an app or swiping a credit card . . . . just to see how much resistance they present to the app-less & credit-card-less human.

I am glad I insisted them to check otherwise I would be going around for a package that is already 1 week late in delivery. Sucky service.

If I hadn't asked for an update, I likely would have continued waiting without knowing. When I asked the barista in the grey shirt, in the coffee side, for an update, he gave me a snappy response. Customer service is clearly not his strength. The lack of communication and customer service was very disappointing. On top of that, once my order was finally ready, another customer ended up taking the bagel I ordered. The entire process felt extremely unorganized, and it's clear they have a terrible system for managing orders and communicating with customers. The only positive part of my experience was the girl behind the counter, who was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, one kind employee couldn't make up for the overall poor service and disorganization. I won't be coming back. The food itself was flavorless and lacking. Avoid if you are looking to have a calm morning. Your cortisol will be spiked.

Switching to Premier Family Pharmacy has been a breath of fresh air…read more I used to use big box pharmacies (think Rite Aid and later CVS) and finally threw in the towel after experiences getting refills or new prescriptions left me in tears on multiple occasions. I should have switched years ago. At this Pharmacy, the owner knows me by name. He always picks up my calls (or if I hit voicemail he immediately calls me back). He proactively calls me about medication refills. He calls my doctors (and doesn't lie about it like CVS does). Every conversation is filled with "thank you" and "I appreciate your choosing us." My medications are ready hours after my doctor prescribes them. Payam treats his clients like royalty and switching to his pharmacy has decreased my stress levels. The big brand pharmacies don't care about you or your business. I think that when you need medication quickly and safely it's important that someone does care. I'd urge anyone reading this to switch to their local small pharmacy and, if you live or work around Torrance, this pharmacy is a particularly good one!
