This CVS looks great from the outside. Clean looking, modern, and newer looking than the one I normally go to in Montrose. Again, as I said about shopping at the Albertsons in Tujunga, coming here truly made me appreciate living in Glendale, something I never thought would ever happen.
I truly felt like I was surrounded by a bunch of tweakers at this place. Every person that walked in I had to guess what drug they were on. I remembered that I stupidly left my window cracked a little bit and had to leave the incredibly long line to pull it up.
There was a long line of about 13 people. I was the last one in line and then maybe a minute later, the line grew and grew. One person at checkout. This one person did nothing to request backup, actually, I was pretty sure he was the only person working in the entire store, other than the two that were working in the pharmacy. The line was held up by a woman of about 65 with bleach blond hair. She had to inquire about every single price that rang up to make sure it was what was posted on the floor. Finally after 10 minutes of this crap, she moves to the side and the next person goes up to be rang up. The lady decides to look at the display of bagels that are on sale for 99 cents. After this guy is done ringing up last customer, she cuts in line, and says can you just take my dollar please so I can buy these bagels. I was astonished that the employee took her dollar and rang her up. Normally a proper employee would have told her to get back in line. She totally thought she was being cute too because she continued to look behind her at everyone in line behind her, including myself, giving her really nasty looks. Then she complained that she didn't get her penny back. The employee said the bagels were actually a dollar. She then argued for about 5 minutes about how it said 99 cents on the bag. Luckily, me being the rude person that I am when I feel someone is taking advantage and is incredibly out of line, I had to loudly say "NEXT!" That was followed by "I'm not done yet!" heh heh...."Lady, you cut in line, you're done."
Needless to say, It was my turn maybe 3 minutes later as the gal in front of me brushed tweaker lady aside, it took the guy about 2 minutes to ring me up, easy purchase, I don't care about the prices because I actually look at them before I decide to purchase something. I was left wondering.....why can't everyone just buy what they have in their basket instead of questioning every....single....price. Then I had wonderful thoughts about the CVS I normally visit in Montrose and on Los Feliz and San Fernando in Glendale/Atwater. I love those locations and I don't care if the Montrose location is flooded with senior citizens. At least they don't hold the damn line up for 10 minutes arguing about bagels and at least the people there know that when there is more than one cash register and the line is long enough, more cash registers need to be used.
