    This CVS is beside a metro stop. It has your typical CVS inventory. If you scan your CVS card or enter your phone number, you will get a 20 foot printout of coupons. The pharmacy line was steady and long, even after 5:30pm. It is a decent location. Street parking is challenging.

    As always, this location of CVS is out of stock in half its SKUs. Someone needs to be fired.

    Like all CVS pharmacies in the greater DC area, this one is an insulting mess to the residents of DC, understaffed with long lines. But this one is particularly bad because their shelves are perpetually empty. I've been to this one four times for basic OTC cold medicine and supplies that stupid DC nanny staters require to be dispensed by a pharmacist. And I'm literally 0-for-4 because each time CVS is out of stock. It's 2017: how hard is it for a national chain to have computer-managed inventory? I finally complained to management and they blamed corporate HQ and said that it's a continuing problem. So I know not to go to this location until Amazon or Walmart buys CVS, fires the deadwood and makes it work.

    Two things brought me into this particular CVS. Me being thirsty and the building itself. I have been on an Art Deco kick as of late and that has lead me to try to spot the buildings in D.C. that encompass the style. MPD headquarters and the Hecht's building are two of the more exemplary examples. Outside of grandiose edifices like those, D.C. has plenty of apartment buildings, store fronts and commercial strips that capture Art Deco motifs, some more subtly than others. Using HistoryQuest I found out that the building was built in 1936 with a Jarrett C. White as the architect, no George Santmyers but he'll do. For my thirst, I bought a Trumino protein drink. It was clear and not too pricey. I like that there were plenty of self-checkout machines but this particular day, they were all Card Only. Oh well, in and out and a building admired.

    My son and I found this bag of pretzels on the shelf here.

    But as a neighborhood resident for two decades, I've almost always found the people working at this CVS more than helpful.

    If I could give negative stars I would. Blatantly rude pharmacist that was very confrontational and…read moredid not want to help with my prescription concerns. The pharmacist was a foreign bald dude with a slight beard. He should be fired. Was not willing to help with my prescription and clearly does not care about his job or the people his job is intended to cater for. My physician gave me an additional discount for my prescription that works at any CVS. I kindly asked the lady dealing with me if she would be able to apply the discount card. The man immediately interjected and said "We close at 7. Tomorrow." He then followed up with: "you have good insurance. You don't need more discount." Absolute A-Hole comment. Clearly is not happy with his job or life. I ended up just paying the difference because I did not want to deal with him or get into an argument. Truthfully ruined my day. They could've said no and been nice about it and given a reasonable explanation as to why they wouldn't accept it. But the rudeness and attitude was really over the top and is why I am writing this review. Do not go here unless you want to have your day ruined by rude people.

    I'm a lay minister with many years of community service experience and I'm also studying theology…read morein grad school. I like to show grace whenever possible, so even when I have to go on Yelp to write about a bad experience, I try to be fair and constructive. But you know, I'm also human. First of all, the employee named Raheem either needs to be re-trained or has to be let go. I don't like calling out employees by name in reviews unless it's for good service but Raheem made me feel so uncomfortable that I'm forced to go public like this in the hope that it will foster change. Until Raheem rung up my merchandise, I had never had a retail experience -- at CVS or other stores -- where I was pressured to accept a subscription. Raheem was giving me the hard sell for the CVS CarePass, by giving me a song and dance about how CVS recognizes that Americans are going through hard times right now and that the company wants to help the community by giving away ten dollars off each total purchase. Blah blah blah. I'm not naive. We've all gone through our fair share of sales pitches for rewards clubs. But Raheem was going for it hard like he was the used care salesman of the CVS world. It was horrific. He wouldn't take No for an answer. He just kept going on and on about things like "But you can take the ten dollars now and cancel tomorrow." And in my head I was thinking, "I don't want to cancel tomorrow. I don't want to do ANYTHING that I DO NOT WANT to do tomorrow." In fact, I was very close to spitting out a lecture about consent. Instead, I just politely smiled and said variations of "no" with increasing firmness. And all the while, my mom was standing next to me, not knowing what to do. What's the moral of this story? That bad customer service experiences happen? Maybe. But the other moral of the story might be that you never know what a customer is going through, so learn to read the room -- or at least try not to make hard sells. You see, the thing is, this CVS is located within a 20 minute walk from MedStar Georgetown. I can only imagine how many people like my mom and I shop there: we are family members of a patient currently hospitalized at MedStar Georgetown. My dad had a stroke and he was helicoptered there from our home hospital in the suburbs to get better treatment. We got a hotel nearby so it would be easier to get to my dad every day during the early stages of his recovery. By the time we were at CVS tonight, we were tired and hungry after a long day of caring for my dad, and we had a lot of merchandise that needed to be rung up. The last thing we needed was Raheem making us feel like crap because we didn't want to accept his offer. While I'm on the subject, I didn't like the way Raheem's coworker -- a man whose name I didn't get, sadly -- scoldingly told me to take all my stuff out of my basket. On the one hand, I understand. But on the other, if you're gonna come at me like that for protocol, maybe you should keep the basket holders closer to the registers. What is the customer supposed to do when you snap at them to take all their stuff out of the basket? Trudge all the way over to the front doors in the middle of a transaction to replace the basket in the one basket holder in the whole store?! Is the cashier going to take the basket back from me after I empty it and place it behind the register? No instruction provided whatsoever. Just take your stuff out. If I wanted this kind of treatment, I would go shopping in the slums of my home country. "Show me your pockets!" I hate writing a review like this in which the antagonists are BIPOC folks. But you know the saying. Not all skin folk are kin folk. Avoid this CVS. Especially when you have loved ones at MedStar Georgetown. You will be demeaned and belittled far beneath whatever medical crisis has already sunk you to your lowest low.
