    Good location in terms of being in stock of most needs but 3 stars for how inconvenient it is to…read moreshop here. 1) 90% of my time in the store is pressing a button and waiting for someone to hand me something as invaluable as deodorant 2) Every time I opt for self check out, the bell goes off that I didn't place my item where it's supposed to go and then I end up having to wait for someone to come scan their card 3) The receipt that comes out is the biggest waste of resources that I've ever seen - after all that waiting, the grand finale is waiting for a six foot long receipt to spit out This repeated experience has caused me to move onto the Target next door. In the words of Stevie Wonder, a world where men are free.

    I rarely leave one-star reviews, which is why I'm taking the time to write this one…read more Ironically, most of the employees I interacted with were wonderful. It was my first time seriously couponing, and the staff stocking shelves were incredibly patient helping me locate items. I scanned everything through the CVS app before putting it in my cart to make sure the coupons attached correctly. One employee with bright red lipstick was especially encouraging and genuinely cheered me on while I was figuring everything out. Those interactions made me feel welcome and excited to learn. I will say that I hate how much merchandise is locked up at this location. I understand why stores do it, especially in the city, but needing assistance every time you want a basic item gets frustrating quickly. That said, the employees who helped unlock items were polite and helpful. The real problems started at checkout. I had carefully planned three transactions so I could roll ExtraBucks rewards between purchases. My first transaction should have earned $19 in ExtraBucks, but only $11 appeared. Several digital coupons that showed as attached in the app didn't apply at checkout either. I also had qualifying items for one of the spend-threshold promotions, but the reward never triggered despite the shelf tags clearly advertising it. While I was trying to figure out what happened, another customer standing nearby told me she had experienced similar issues at this same store and had stopped trying to use the promotions because rewards frequently failed to appear in her account. Hearing that made me wonder whether this was a larger problem than simple user error. Then I had an interaction with an employee named Marion that turned an annoying situation into an awful one. I was trying to explain exactly what I had done, including how I scanned every item through the app beforehand to verify the coupons attached. I couldn't get through a complete sentence without being interrupted. Instead of listening, she repeatedly told me I was wrong and insisted ExtraBucks are only issued at the end of the month. This may have been my first time couponing, but it was not my first time shopping at CVS, and I knew that wasn't how ExtraBucks generally work. The conversation got increasingly uncomfortable. At one point she told me to retrieve coupons from the self-checkout receipt bin and repeatedly implied that I was causing problems because I didn't understand the system. What upset me most was the implication that I might be stealing items, despite the fact that I had carefully scanned everything and was actively trying to verify my purchases. It wasn't until I requested a full refund and she scanned every item in my bag against my receipt that the suggestion disappeared. I would never intentionally steal from a store, and being treated as though I might was humiliating. Even at the end of the interaction, the tone remained condescending. I fully understood that returned purchases wouldn't generate ExtraBucks rewards. The issue wasn't that I expected rewards after a refund. The issue was that the advertised rewards and coupons didn't work correctly in the first place. I know retail is difficult. I know coupon transactions can be complicated. I went into the conversation expecting some confusion and maybe even a little frustration while we worked through it. What I didn't expect was to be repeatedly interrupted, talked down to, treated with suspicion, and made to feel like I was wasting everyone's time for asking reasonable questions. The kind employees on the sales floor deserve recognition because they were genuinely helpful. Unfortunately, the checkout experience completely overshadowed that goodwill. I left feeling embarrassed, frustrated, and convinced that I won't be returning to this location.

    Taking a gander at all of the reviews on this CVS, I am quite confused as to other's experiences. I…read morecould totally see something negative happening if you over-demanded or had complex shopping requests, but on the whole, I have found this CVS to be reliable, quick during most visits, and relatively orderly. One plus is that they are pretty well staffed here. I've been to other CVS locations in the city, where you hit the button to ask for someone to help you open the Tylenol cabinet, only to wait for an inordinate amount of time before you have to walk all the way back up to the front to get the person yourself. You're able to get the help you need in almost every part of the store here. Granted, you're dealing with Philly folks, so they're not going to give you the nicest smile or friendliest service. But they'll help you out with what you ask, and frankly, when I'm coming to CVS, I'm not looking for the red carpet anyways so that's more than enough for me. Only knocks are probably the fact that aisles are often getting clogged up due to constant restocking happening. Not their problem honestly, because they're serving pretty continuous traffic opening to closing because of UPenn and Drexel nearby, so the fact that they're on top of inventory in the aisles instead of letting shelves stay empty is a good sign to me. Pharmacy folks are also helpful in the Philly fashion. Don't think I've had much of a wait ever, except for right after work, as expected, but even then they recently installed these partially self-serve kiosks within the past year that have greatly sped up prescription pick ups here. On the whole, I think you shouldn't believe all the revenge reviews happening here. This place is more than sufficient and above average for CVS locations in the city.

    I'm updating my review & upgrading my rating, since I've been to CVS many times over the years…read more CVS has been consistently okay. They don't always have what I need, but many times they do. The employees are nice & helpful. The receipts are still way too long, which not only wastes paper, but also wastes time trying to rip off the extra coupons, throw them away, fold it all up & jam it into my bag. It's annoying, but it's a feature of every CVS I've been to, not this one in particular.

Nova Star is one of those increasingly rare places where it's always a person to person experience. It's a tiny store. But the owner has such good taste in products and somehow manages to stock the store with a wide variety of things that are high quality, unique, and cool. Skincare, bodycare, vitamins and supplements, teas, candles, soaps, everything. A lot of organic and artisanal products. A lot of smaller brands. A lot of imported things that you don't see every day. It's like a magic trick. They're also super nice as pharmacists. And just super great customer service all around. IMO, this is not one of the best pharmacies in Philadelphia, it's one of the best stores overall. Period. This is one of those almost flawless things. I have no notes. They could not be better.
