But it took for ALL OF THAT to happen to get my change money back! But I am thankful for the service that Lilian did provide, unlike her manager and cashier employees, so I decided to add an extra star JUST FOR HER, but I still would not be shopping here ever again because I don't want to risk that happening to me again, especially with me also seeing a prior review on here of a past customer that was a victim of them overcharging their card for more than authorized. I generally DO NOT recommend spending your money at this location because I don't know how Jesse will do again when Lilian is not around!

I recently had an excellent experience at the CVS on North Delaware in San Mateo County, thanks to the fantastic customer service provided by the David, the pharmacist and the tech Monina. Both were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. The pharmacist took the time to explain my weight loss prescription clearly and answered all of my questions with patience and care, ensuring I felt confident with my medication. Monina, the tech, was equally helpful, offering friendly and quick service at the counter. It's rare to find a team so dedicated to ensuring a smooth and pleasant pharmacy experience, and I truly appreciate their hard work. Also, this is one of the most consistently clean CVS pharmacies. Highly recommend this location! read more

CVS pharmacy staff tech plus the guy who works the drive through bald head is so rude unpleasant and just flat unhappy face that makes u feel belittled!! The two female tech act as if they are the actual pharmacist!! Rude and lack of customer service. The only neutral pharmacist is the Asian lady who is the manager too !

The woman who answered the phone was quite rude and ended up hanging up on him. He tried calling back, and asked her why she hung up and she lied and said she had to deal with a delivery which made no sense because the time between phone calls was no more than 10 seconds. She then started questioning who he was and what he wanted, and was very disrespectful overall and couldn't seem to answer his simple questions about possibly getting his prescription medication sent to this location. After a minute or two more, he ended up hanging up as she lacked any sort of hospitality or a good customer service. After looking further online, this doesn't seem like a legit/reputable business, future prescription seekers beware.

This pharmacy is all you need to have your prescription filled in a TIMELY MANNER whether you…read morecalled it in or you just walked in. The wait is always 10 minutes or less compared to the big chain which is always 45 minutes or more. This is very convenient especially when you have to go back to work or have some errands to do. The staff are very passionate in what they do. Their concern mainly is always with their customer & ensuring their needs are met like this one time when I had this prescription that they didn't carry at that time & they cannot get it from their supplier. They offer that they will call every pharmacy that does carry this drug to save me the time, energy & gas of going to every pharmacy. This pharmacy really exemplify an excellent & personalized customer service. So I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you should try MEDICAL CENTER PHARMACY. They really make YOUR LIFE SO EASY.

They had light bites like croissants, yogurt fruit cups, coffee, juice, water and prosciutto wrapped melons. They had a DJ, raffles, free samples, freebies with a purchase and the theme was Hawaiian so we were given plastic leis and a big yellow mesh bag with a goodie bag filled with some samples. The presentation was upbeat and fun except for some ladies who were constantly chatting and even a couple of ladies behind me who just kept talking throughout the whole show so it was hard to hear. I don't know if one was translating from English but I thought it was very inconsiderate. It was already sometimes hard to hear because the speakers had to hold a microphone while trying to do a makeover and/or the music was also loud. Despite the interruptions, the reps and employees kept it upbeat. We ended up getting coupons under certain seats so that was a bonus for those who didn't win a gift basket from the raffle. Those baskets were generous with products!! After the show, women scattered to the respective cosmetic reps to try samples, buy with purchase and take advantage of the extras the reps brought for both the Beauty Trend Show and the Anniversary Sale. I reached out to the Beauty Manager, Belinda as I wanted some tips for eye makeup with a MAC rep. Belinda set up an appointment with a MAC Field Exec Shane Turner who was also a presenter. I showed up for my appointment but he was helping other customers who wanted to take advantage of the sales freebies for the day so I had to wait in the chair for maybe 10-15 minutes. He told me he'd wish there were more associates to help out. He seemed serious and overwhelmed. I told him about the MAC products I use and that caffeine irritates my eyes. He offered one product and said it doesn't have caffeine but I found out it had some in the ingredients list when I got home. I asked about the wear on a satin lipstick and he said it was long-wearing but it wore off later on in the afternoon. He applied a Green liner that was supposed to be long-wearing as well but that ended up smearing by the afternoon when I was still at the mall. He used a too radiant & brown tone concealer so that wasn't the correct shade. He gave some tips that were helpful but was disappointed in the actual products used. Afterwards, I went to 111 Skin and bubbly, enthusiastic, positive & informative Lupe the 111Skin rep was really fun to talk to and l learned about the line. She ran out of eye patches as a ton of women were lined up to try them. I had to leave the line earlier so I could make my MAC appointment so I missed out. I ended up learning about the product line and bought a serum after she applied it on me. I was amazed at the results! She was able to give me samples of their products so I could try before I buy so I was happy with that. I went to try some Jo Malone perfume and wanted to try a sample but they ran out of the tester on one. I was only able to spray some on my arm. When I checked out with a male employee, I noticed he had a few other yellow totes with samples and asked him about that. That was for the Influencers who RSVP'd originally for that day and I happened to be one of them so he gave me one! Afterwards, I went upstairs to look for more Anniversary sale items. The helpful Asian female clerk helped me locate some items that were on my list. I was happy they had a lot of sizes and merchandise at this location. They were well-stocked! This is a convenient location and have online store pickups upstairs which is convenient. The eBar has quick bites and I was able to get a Green Smoothie.
