    I want to recognize Maryam, the Beauty Specialist in the makeup section at CVS in Irvine (Alton…read morepkwy & Jeffrey rd). She consistently provides exceptional customer service & always goes above & beyond to help customers. Maryam is incredibly knowledgeable, patient & positive. No matter how many questions I have, she takes the time to listen, offer helpful recommendations & make sure I find exactly what I need. Her friendly attitude & genuine willingness to help make every visit a pleasant experience. I sincerely hope her upper management recognizes the value she brings to the store & the positive impact she has on customers. Employees like Maryam make a meaningful difference & her hard work & dedication deserve to be acknowledged & appreciated. Thank you Maryam, for always making shopping such a wonderful experience!

    Open late, which is a rarity for any business in the OC, but that's because it's a franchise if…read moreanything, BUT it was crazy that the pharmacy was still open around 9 PM. Many other pharmacies in Walgreens, CVS, Target, Walmart, etc. all close at around 5 PM and some aren't even open on the weekend (Sunday), but this one was. Not sure if this is just a change in CVS that I haven't paid attention to, or if it was always like that. There's self check out and the staff working was super friendly and helpful. Shout out to the cashier girl who talked Calico Critters with me, you a real one. Stock is fairly decent for seasonal items and it didn't look super disorganized. Lots of World Cup merchandise randomly and it's always so funny that the souvenirs for Irvine are ocean and beach themed when you're not even THAT close to the water but I guess it works in a pinch for those unfamiliar with California geography. Plenty of parking since it's in a super big plaza and the time where we went wasn't that busy (as many things have already closed).

    Meghna (sp) such incredible Customer Service I may have misspelled her name, but I've never had…read moreanyone who is not just phenomenal at customer service. I love shopping at this particular store because they're usually fully stocked where most other CVS stores have their shelves often empty! Incredible Customer Service

    I have been a loyal CVS customer for nearly a decade, picking up the same prescription from this…read morelocation -- the same location I've been coming to since I was in elementary and middle school in this neighborhood. What happened today was one of the most disrespectful and incompetent pharmacy experiences I have ever had. I came in to pick up my medication and was told it was an insurance issue. I spent my ENTIRE day making calls -- to my insurance, to my doctor's office -- getting everyone to do their part, only to come back and still be told it wasn't going through. Why? Because Jinny, the pharmacy technician who was "helping" me, did not know how to properly process the claim and refused to listen when I calmly explained how this prescription has always been handled. Instead of listening, she stayed on her phone texting for five minutes while I politely asked to speak with a manager. When I repeated my request, she looked me in the eye and said "what do you want -- your medicine or the manager?" She then put my medication back on the shelf and refused to assist me. I continued asking for a manager and she acted as though she couldn't hear me. When Yvonne came over, she told me to my face that I didn't know what I was talking about. Both employees were dismissive, condescending, and unprofessional. I was mocked and belittled while I stood there calmly advocating for myself. Then -- and this is the part that says everything -- the head pharmacist walked over, pressed ONE button, and it was done. Instantly. The same thing I had been telling them all day. The girls went quiet and returned to their work. Not a single apology. Not one word of acknowledgment for the full day they wasted of my time. I asked to speak with the manager and was told he was on vacation. I asked for a contact email or number to escalate and was told they had none. Convenient. Jinny's incompetence and refusal to listen cost me an entire day. The disrespect shown by her and Yvonne is inexcusable. I will not be returning to this CVS -- or any CVS -- after this experience. Do better.
