I left a review a year ago regarding Corporate not providing the necessary assistance to their…read morepharmacists and sales clerks. Unfortunately nothing seems to change. The morale at this location has clearly deteriorated. I have been to many pharmacies throughout my adult life, including several CVS's in Florida and others in CT. It appears that some people in this location have allowed their dissatisfaction with their employer to affect their customer service. They could very well also be affecting the morale of their fellow employees. They do not return phone calls, are abrupt more often than not, and seem to lack the insight, at least some compassion that their customers are most oftentimes visiting the pharmacy for reasons they would rather not... that is, because they are ill and require assistance. I understand being understaffed. In fact, that is the reason I wrote my review last year. Rudeness and treating people as if you are bothering them or putting them out of their way when you are there to provide a service is not acceptable. I worked my entire career being understaffed and overworked. Had I treated a customer or client that way I would have been removed from my position. It's not unusual. I treated people rudely I would have been removed from my position. And that works both ways. No customer should be rude and subject an employee to take any form of abuse. I know there are plenty of people out there who feel entitled to do that. I do wish the staff the best in having to work under such circumstances, but after today's experience I will be filling my scripts at another location and hope for the better service and experience I have had at other CVS's.

Worst CVS I've been to. The checkout line is confusing, clearly the self check-out kiosks were not…read moreintegrated into the original design of the layout. On multiple occasions I've experienced unpleasantness with perceived or actual "cutting in line" because it is so poorly laid out. Today however was the worst. I tried to upload $20 cash onto an app, and the associate ran it through a 'counterfeit checker'. I've done this over 100 times before and only this time was a $20 bill run through such a machine. Apparently the machine was defective because it produced a negative result. The associate assumed I had no other money. Perhaps because I was wearing a somewhat dirty shirt because I work on boats making 3x what a CVS associate makes. I had to drive to the Flanders/East Lyme location where I was able to successfully complete my transaction. The associate at this location didn't run my bill through a checker, but I asked her to run the same $20 bill through such a machine if they had one. They did and it came up as legit. I wasted 25 minutes driving uptown because of the combination of a defective bill checker in the Niantic location and the associates apparent incompetence. Second time in less than a week I had to walk out because of silliness on the front end. Worst CVS location I've been to.

Although the first time we went in was after they'd been open for a few months, it seemed kind of sparse for a Walgreens. We attributed it to they taking over the Rite Aid and still needed to improve their inventory. Went in a few weeks ago and saw they had increased the shelving and inventory so they are slowly getting to be like the other well established stores. They had signs on the floor to ensure social distancing which was good. I look forward to future Shopping trips here.

They never have anything in stock at the pharmacy, it takes days for them to order meds. Also never restock product on the shelves. You end up waiting in line forever for your scripts and then if you need something from the store you have to find it and if you're lucky enough to, you get to wait in a line halfway through the store because of understaffing and every checkout is incredibly slow, mostly because of their ridiculous swipe machine that asks so many questions it's impossible to even pay and check out quickly. Also they continue to defy city ordinances and never remove the snow from the sidewalks around their store or the pedestrian entrance. Recently fell and injured myself badly on black ice and almost got run over because I couldn't get up. They don't care they just keep doing it. Also a couple of the staff are nice but some are either outrageously incompetent or there's one girl that reminds me of Samara from The Ring. Completely creeps me out because she doesn't usually speak, just gives a mean blank scare. Spooky. This store is the only one I can make it to usually, being disabled and having no transportation so I wish they'd do better but for people with the freedom of choice I would not recommend this Walgreens.

Seems like just little things, but I really appreciate their attention to detail and emotionally intelligent customer service--we need more everyday workers like them!!
