Unfortunately, since this place is decades old, and used to be really wonderful (maybe 8 years ago…read moreI liked it once?), there is now firmly in place a close-knit team of unmitigated Karens holding down the fort here -- condescending, surly, DELIBERATELY UNHELPFUL beeatches who LOVE to make everything as complicated as possible in order to NOT to help you find anything. They need to let you know at ALL TIMES how very stupid you are and how little grasp you have. They like to doubletalk, make things difficult, and ask circular questions. It is always a tiresome chore to try to shop there, and every time I go, I say oh yeah and I'm reminded! It's really quite funny if you're not suffering or in a hurry, which I was sadly both. Larry David could make a great episode about this eternally empty pharmacy with its sad dusty rows of pill bottles on Curb Your Enthusiasm, as the level of snooty Santa Monica-esque tom foolery and ultra LA "super bullsh#t" as my friend calls it is in high rare form here. Hah! I tried to look past the nasty staff today, as I've gamely done for years now -- a tall statuesque white haired woman in her 60's is a particular delight -- and would easily have spent a thousand bucks there today, but yeah, that will be my last visit. The saddest part is how mom and pops are disappearing. People like the staff here are why Amazon wins -- I went outside and ordered what I was looking for before the light had changed.

The freaking shelves are mostly empty or they fill them with repeats of what no one wants. It's infuriating! It's the only one close to me now that the one I had gone to for decades in Venice closed. If it doesn't get better I will be leaving and going to either Ralphs or CVS and dealing with the drive. The pharmacy always has a line and I swear they are overworked by the look of frustration on the pharmacist's faces. I don't even know if adding more employees would do the trick. Then again, if they just came out of bankruptcy Rite Aid aren't going to add the payroll to their overhead. They even close for lunch now. I'm wondering how long it will be before I just can't take it anymore.

However, I am only giving this CVS 3 stars because of the lack of staff on the floor to help open up the locked cases, which is 90% of this store. I understand why the merchandise must be locked up due to the past several years of theft. When a staff member does show up to unlock the case, they are always kind and apologize for the wait. CVS should hire more staff to help the customers. 5 stars to the Pharmacy Department for being open 24 hours. When my husband needed meds after 10pm, I was able pick up the meds, late at night!

Despite being in emergency condition, the man said "can you come back in an hour, it's time for my lunch". I conveyed this was an emergency, he said "too bad, I'll be back at 330. Do you live around here?" Then I said, again, this is an emergency, he literally laughed. When it became clear that he still wasn't going to help, I asked if he could at least send the prescriptions to the CVS near my home (I was only here because of emergency conditions plus 24 hours being open). He said he would do this, and did NOT do this. Thankfully the person at my local CVS was able to handle everything the next morning after only about ~30 minutes of waiting, but there was substantial amounts of pain felt which would have been avoided had the person helped. Also, despite his apparent overwhelming need to take lunch exactly upon my arrival at 230 AM, he helped the woman behind me in line.

This Pharmacy is disorganized unprofessional and ridiculous. I've had so many problems with them…read more I'll need to change pharmacies because these people are horrible. I'm a senior and I was supposed to get important medications that if I don't take I could get sick or worse meaning death. I paid for the medications and I paid for it to be delivered. They keep making excuses real flimsy excuses of why this happened or that happened or they don't return any correspondence. Any mix of this. I've had to call and speak to a social worker regarding elder abuse because I'm not able to get my medications even though I paid for them and also make a police report and I'm going to take it further and I'm talking to an attorney this coming week. Nate promised me that I would get the medications tonight Friday night between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. and didn't. And I didn't get it last night. And there's constant delays. Parmiz the other pharmacist is a narcissistic gaslighter. She hasn't even checked the messages since Tuesday afternoon. She tried to gas light me that I didn't return her correspondence on Tuesday when I did. And I have record of it. Maybe she needs to get off her lazy behind and check the text messages that come in. It's Friday today and she hasn't checked them since Tuesday. Unprofessional narcissistic attitude and lazy a very bad mix. They are just horrible. They used to be good and somehow it all went pear-shaped. Terrible people.

Like many large companies, CVS appears to rely heavily on automated voice systems instead of having a person answer the phone. Unfortunately, these systems don't always seem ready for real-world use. On Tuesday, March 10, I called and used the automated system to refill a prescription. The system confirmed that the refill would be processed. I was a little hesitant to rely on the automated system alone--and now I understand why. I wasn't able to pick up the prescription on Wednesday, so on Thursday, March 12, I called at 9:12 a.m. to make sure it was ready. No one answered the phone, so I left a message. At 9:18 a.m., someone from the pharmacy called me back and confirmed that the prescription would be ready later that day. However, when I arrived around 4:30 p.m., the pharmacist told me there was no record of the prescription request at all. They also said they had no idea who from the pharmacy might have called me earlier in the morning and could not find any note or record in their system. It was essentially as if the previous two days of communication had never happened. This was for a heart medication. After I explained the situation and the time I had set aside after work to pick up the medication, the pharmacist was kind enough to give me two pills (heart medication) to hold me over, which I appreciated. Still, the overall experience was frustrating and made me question the reliability of the system and the coordination between staff. The pharmacist on duty in the afternoon had no information about who had called me earlier, even though the call clearly came from the pharmacy's local number on my caller ID. I hope CVS improves communication between staff and the reliability of the automated refill system. I'd like to continue using this location because it's convenient, but experiences like this make me wonder whether I can depend on them when it comes to something as important as prescription medication.

The store itself was well laid out and kept clean. The aisles were wide and well organized. Honestly, I would have no problem coming back here for other items should I find myself in the area.
