CVS Complaints Continued... (Page 4)

My name is Shirley Vanterpool, I live in Denmark S.C. I went to CVS at 18252 Heritage HWY Denmark S.C 29042 on November 2 2011, to pick up my prescription and was giving the wrong prescription in the wrong box. The name of the prescription that was to be in the box is, Derma-Smoothe/FS Scalp Oil and there put a medicine for the face in the box. On the front of the box said apply to face twice daily and it is to be to the scalp twice a week. They but a difference prescription which is for the face call Verdeso. When I went back and get the right prescription , they would not change the direction on the front of the box .

This person said no one should be using your prescription which is right , but you never no who would pick it up and use it ,things happen . This person was just working there for today, and I fell if they cannot do there job right they do not need to be working there. This is the first time I had a problem with cvs, everyone that work there before have been very nice.

hello my name is Zack, i have been a customer of the CVS pharmacy store on the corner of 1115 spring hill drive and mariner or store 3746.Through out the years i have seen and been through many different problems with this CVS but the Techs are always polite and try very hard to help you no matter what.Today however i came into the pharmacy around 630pm and the line was so huge i thought i was in walmart for a second.... it took me almost 45 minets to get to the register and noticed there was only 3 techs working when i got there i found out my script was not done because they fell behind.It was painfully clear that they were short staffed again and overworked i talked to one of the tech and found out 3 techs quit and that the new we-care system is the reason there falling behind i don't know what the system did but i don't like it..... every tech looked like a zombie and stressed not knowing where to go I talked to one of the techs that was working at drive-thru all day and the line was around the building to the point that you couldn't find a parking spot and to make t worse a fight almost broke out at drive threw between 2 customers......In my 10 years that i have been here i have never seen so many customers. If nothing is done about this i am afraid ill have to take my scripts to walgreens or walmart.

My prescription were do in about a week, so I called ahead to have them refilled. the auto teller informed me that one had no more refills and to contact my doctor and that is what I did. My doctor is a sleep specialist and only comes in every two weeks ,but I called when he was in. so he got the script ready to be faxed when cvs called. so I caaled the auto teller for a week solid to make sure my script was ready... it was still not ready. so on the fith day I called doctors office and they assured me that cvs had not called, then I called cvs in Danville Ky. and asked to speak to the pharmacy and I told the story to the pharmasist on duty. He blamed it on the doctors office and I told him what they had just told me mimutes before I called he became very hostil and very rude, he would not admit to fault or opligize for his rudeness, I even asked for the manager and he said he was the manager, he would not give me anumber to call and report him to, he would just keep rambling about how he works ten hours a day and that he was not going to be held accountable for what the auto teller told me. the only reason I go to cvs is because my insurance says I have to. we are now trying to get our hr manager at work to fix it where we can go some place else. Im not the only one who does not like CVS in Danville Ky. David Luzt is the jerk i had to deal with. you really need to do something with this guy he has no buisness dealing with the public!!!

My family historically have used the CVS brand (store) for quite a few years. And we have always received courtesy and prompt service. At least until today. At approximately 1:00 pm today I returned to the CVS Pharmacy (located at 736 Hwy 78 West, Villa Rica, GA) to pickup my prescription. The lady at the counter asked for my name. Area competing pharmacies cognizant to their customers sensitivities. As a service courtesy. Do not require their customers to verbalize their ‘year’ date of birth.

At this point a lady (I perceive as being the pharmacist) asked me for the spelling of my last name. If the (counter) lady didn't understand the enunciation of my name. The onus was upon her to request the correct spelling. I was so offended by the pharmacist’s curt remark.. That I requested the return of my 3 prescriptions., and eventually had them filled at another pharmacy. Ms. Gransberry, thank you for your consideration and interest in this unfortunate incident.

I am writing to file a complaint against pharmacist Anna, one of the pharmacists at CVS corner of Federal Highway and George Bush, Delray Beach Fl 33483. Eventhoufh my insurance goes through and approves my valid prescription, she states that its her "personal" choice not to fill it until 2 days prior to last refil. She refused to refil my sleeping medication and I might have to fly to Brazil at any minute due to the loss of my father. I spoke with an attorney and by law, a pharmacist can not refuse to fill a prescription.

If you have a valid prescription, they can not refuse to fill it. Even sooner then the insurance would cover you could get it, you would just have to pay the full amount if was too soon for insurance to cover a refill. The pharmasist can not dictate whether or not you need or can be allowed to have that medication. The only reason they can flat out refuse to fill a prescription is if it was forged. Please take the appropriate action to stop her from controling my life and other clients lives. I am going to peruse this issue in court against her since she states its her personal decision. CVS is a business, there's no personal decisions.

The last 2 times I have called in the day before for refills go to pick up after time entered and are still not ready. I thought the idea of calling ahead was you wouldnt have to wait. I could see if I go before time entered but go after the fact. If it happened once I could handle it but twice in a roll is to much.

I have been a costomer of CVS pharmacy on 1624 lincoln hwy east, lancaster PA 17602 for over 2 years. On Feb 4th 2012 I had to go to Puerto Rico, days before I have asked if my perscription would be refilled at the CVS parmacy in Ponce, PR. For my surprise when i went to refill my pain medication they made me fill like it was from another planet and they refused to refill my pain medication. I suffer from server back pain and Fibromyalgia which cause for me to be in server pain if this medicine is not taken.

I have called the pharmacy here in PA and they told me that i needed to speak to Maria, very rudely she told me that i needed to find a doctor there in Puerto Rico to perscribe the medication because it was another country, as far as i know Puerto Rico is part of the US. and is commonwealth state. I asked to speak with the pharmacist, an he told me that he didn't feel right of transferring the perscription to Ponce, PR. I was there for two long weeks with out my medication, very little sleep, tried over the counter pain medicine and they helped very very little.

I am not a drug addict I'm a person that sufffers from server pain and needs these medication why your pharmacy refuse to fill my perscription. If I go to New York they wounldnt fill my perscription either. There are many people in my health situation do they have to go thru the same problems I did. What is wrong with your pharmacist that they judge people just because certian medicines. I will definetly transferr to Walgreens even if they are further away from me. I dont need to deal with angry and judgemental people. Nor does anybody esle we are your customer. Even animals get better treatment then I did.

The pharmacy I use is located at 5610 Spencer Hwy Pasadena Texas 77505. I have used this same pharmacy for years and have never had a problem with getting my refills.The woman they have in there her name is Mays Albayati does not know what she is doing.This is the second time that she has messed with my meds. My Doctor submitted a new prescription for my budesonide on 9/12 with 3 refills showing on the blue and white label.I called for a refill on 10/16 and now I show 0 refills how can this be. Also the quantity is wrong on the label the original shows qty.60 and on the new refill shows 120. This is a breathing medicine that I have to have. It is to the point that when I get a refill with her name on itI wonder if it is the correct medicine in the bottle.
I hope that someone does not get hurt with her dispensing meds improperly

Hi there! My name is Laura Tidwell. I am writing you to let you know, that the 24 hour CVS in Columbus Georgia, is disorganized, disrespectful, and trained improperly. After Express Scripts stopped working with Walgreens, I was required to move to CVS, it was my only other option. From Day one I have had repeatedly had extremely poor service, and I am fed up. I have gone up to the pharmacy, called the pharmacy, and talked to two pharmacists. I gget this recorded message routinely double filling my orders,when I went up there, they took it off automatic refill, but I was not asked if I wanted to be on it in the first place...I have only spoken with one respectful pharmacist since I have been there, and she is a floater. I have had enough! Your phaarmacy should be shut down. Your staff are horrible. Also, your teenagers running the pharmacy run around like a chicken with their heads cut off, because of the pharmacy's poor organization. I am so disgusted with this pharmacy, it makes my blood pressure go up. I have absolutely had enough! I mean, enough! I don't know how you stay in business!

I've lived in Louisiana for six years and realize that I have to pay for my adult daughter' diapers. I've found that the store brand at CVS is very good. The only problem I have is finding them at store 5323,East Texas and Airline Dr. in Bossier City. Now you may say ,go to another store. I do! The store is on Barksdale Blvd. and the only time I'm near that store is when I'm at work and its still several miles in the opposite direction.

Store 5323 is within walking distance of where I live and I pass it on my way home from work. Now I realize everyone is buying them because they are so good ,but most people can't afford to buy a case every week. I know I can't. I also know that shipments come in on Fridays. I just feel that I should get a better answer then " We can only get so many because we're getting audited." I pretty sure you don't audit every week. I also feel that if the other CVS has diapers every time I go 5323 should too.

I am very unhappy at the way my elderly mother was treated by the CVS pharmacist in the Villas NJ store this week while trying to refill a prescription. My mother is 85 years old and very fragile with a passive disposition and if she did not understand why her med could not be refilled, it should have been explained to her in a better manner. I live in Florida and when I checked in on her after the "attack" she could not even talk to me. When I called her the next day she explained what happened and I want this matter resolved immediately with a phone call to her apologizing for the unwarranted lashing she received. I am appalled that a pharmacist would act in such a way! I would like a response to this e mail, please, so I know I do not need to take further action.
Thank you,

I've been going to the same CVS Pharmacy at 404 N. Logan Blvd, BURNHAM, PA for the last 5 years since I moved here. They have some really nice people that work there and they got some real assholes. Today I went to pick up my prescription that my doctor called in and they only gave me one of the four. I asked where the other three was and they said that my insurance wouldn't pay for one and the other two wasn't called in. So I called the doctors office and they said they called them all in. I went around to the drive thru again and told the lady at the window that the doctor's office did call them in. The PHARMACIST came over and told me that he wouldn't fill them because he had a couple doctors call him about my scripts. I explained that my one doctor I went to that I don't see anymore . I tried to get my family doctor to prescribe my medicine for me until my new insurance would go inafect for my new doctor and they don't do that. So I went to my doctors appointment and paid $55 to be seen. He told my doctor office that and told them every medication I got and when it was filled for the last three months, which I don't care about, but he made it seem like a drug addict and i'm not. I have cronick arthritis, a crooked spine and two huranated disk in my low back and one in my neck. I also had my right shoulder operated on March 22th and I got done with physical therapy April 25th. I also have problems with my left shoulder and I have problems with my feet ( bone spurs ). I always got my prescription at that pharmacy and with my insurance other wise I couldn't afford it. I am changing pharmacies and hopefully my doctor will understand. I feel like I should go to my lawyer and see what could be done because he is making it that every time I go to a doctor he tells them this so I can't get my medicine. I think he should be fired or get suspended , that's not likely to happen.

A few day ago my wife gave the pharmacy tech at our local CVS Pharmacy two prescriptions for my monthly Class 2 medications. It was a few days before they were authorized to be filled but we both felt it would be safe to give to the pharmacy to be filled on the proper day. We've both done this in the past with this pharmacy and at Rite Aide. When I returned to pick up my meds the pharmacy ADMITS THAT THEY HAVE LOST ONE OF THE "SCRIPTS". It's now been over 24 hours and I don't have my medication yet. Withdrawals are here and at my age (76) it's unsafe besides miserable. My pain level is kept under control by following the doctor's orders and keeping the morphine at a consistant level. My wife and I have been trying to get this resolved all day. At 5:00pm my doctor reluctantally rewrote the missing prescription, however it has caused the doctor to have many questions about trust. The pharmacy made it a matter of it being "my problem" and did not follow through to see that I received a replacement prescription.

I am new to CVS only because my insurance
changed and my first impression is not good.
I had a prescription called on 4/29 and it i went
To pick it up & they explained that they had nothing
In the system. I called my doctor who said he called it
In. I went back 5/2 & it still wasn't there. I gave up.
I'm going to use my hospital pharmacy. I just felt
I wasn't important customer to CVS. I never was approached by a pharmacist
Honestly, the Rx wasn't a big deal. I could wait.

Every company is going to have issues. U learn by
Mistakes. Cvs should look @ Walgreens customer
Service policy. They are efficient & helpful.

Oh, I am not a big fan of carpeted stores. Yuck!!

Good Luck.

Oct. 9, 2012, we picked up a prescribtion that was suppose to be for Oxycodone 10 mg. prn for pain. When I went to take it at HS I noticed it was not the shape or color of the previous same bottle of pills. However the label on the bottle was the same as the previous bottle of the same meds. It was marked pink round pill, the pills inside were white. The numbers were different also. I did not take any of the pills that night even tho I was in pain. We took them back to the Hershey, Pa. pharmacy in the am. It appears it was oxycodone, however the dosage was wrong. This could have been a very, very serious mistake. We have been very upset recently with the service we are getting at CVS! Sloppy work! I frequently get calls that my meds are ready from rapid refill, only to get there and find out they are not yet filled. We are considering changing pharmacies. You will lose a customer of 30 plus years.

This email is in regards to store # 9585. In the northwest section of the parking lot there are a row of abandoned vehicles. Some have been there for months without moving. Some have cobwebs from the car to the ground. During high volume business times for the store it is hard to find parking. Most have expired tags. I know they allow people from the condo and apartment complexes to the west to park there unrestricted. I feel it is this stores responsibility to police their parking lot and make sure it is not a junk yard and represent this neighborhood. Possibly get a contract with a local towing company. I have no affiliation with this company but I suggest Ranch Del Oro towing in Oceanside. They have contracts with the condos and apartments i mentioned as well as the condominium complex to the northwest of the store. Thank you

My complaint is to the pharmacy department as well as the Store Manager. In general, I have never been impressed with CVS stores. They must hire their managers from the dregs of the earth. Walgreens does circles around CVS. However, Walgreens is not always as convenient for me to get to. This particular time (and there have been many more) I went to Walgreens to get a Tylenol products for 8 hour relief of muscle aches and pain. I looked on the isle and saw nothing that was even close to what I wanted. I walked up to the pharmacy pick up line and waited, and waited, and waited to be acknowledged. Nothing. I took a couple of steps over and waited, waited and waited. Finally, a gentleman asked if he could help me. I told him I just had a question and he asked me to step over to the drop off line. I waited, and waited, and waited. **By the way, no one was in the store but me**. Finally, I was acknowledged by the pharmacist and right in mid-sentenance she cut me off and said "everything we have is on the shelf." I walked down the isle, found the "manager" and told him I had one comment about his store..."The pharmacy deparment sucks" and my next comment was "I will die first before ever stepping into any CVS store again." His response....wait for it....wait for it..."I don't blame you." What a great way to run a store. Perhaps you guys ought to pick up store etiquette 101 from Walgreens. It sure couldn't hurt!

I have had many problems with cvs pharmacy in the past 7 months. One is giving me the wrong script of a controlled substance charging me the price of the right script and only after calling twice and going back twice did they finally admit to their mistake. Second I had to deal with a very nasty woman with major attitude and walking away from me when I was explaining to her my situation. After that incident I kept calling about my script to see if it had arrived and was already days late without one of my meds and they kept telling me for three days that my script hasn't arrived in the mail. Finally after being sick I had to call my doctors office which called FedEx and the scripts were received and signed by the pharmacy three days before.

Obviously after that incident with that one woman cvs has Ben messing with me and my prescriptions. The lady demands I give her id when everyone knows me there and never ids me and I explained that to her, showing I'd was not an issue the issue was I didn't have it with me and had to drive back home in the middle of the night when the guy she was working with knows me very well. She didn't want to hear it walked away and was extremely rude. I understand that you are supposed to be id'd for a controlled substance but after 6 months of only get ideed once, whose fault is that. Now they won't give me my meds when I picked them up a month ago by telling me they are going back to October because for some reason now they do.

Well so that means they effed up again by I guess giving me my script to early last month. I am a very frequent shopper at cvs and have been using that pharmacy forever, I now am going to make sure I open a law suit because this is putting extreme stress on me and I am being singled out and treated wrongly by one persons extreme rudeness. On top of this I am pregnant and I dont need a pharmacy screwing around with my meds. I also have witnesses to the wrong meds being dispensed.

On Dec. 24 my father was rushed to Winchester Medical Center very ill, to make long story short after my visit with him I stopped at CVS in Stephens City VA. to pick up a few things to make him comfortable and one thng was a pair of bedroom slippers but when I got to hospital to my surprise and everyone elses including drs. nurses there was only 1 bedroom slipper! Everything was such chaos I did not have time to stop and write a letter to compny or even go by the store to tell them but was cleaning my Dads house found the 1 slipper still in box with dated reciept.I have not been to CVS after this trip where I spent81.04 and will probably never will again.

My complaints are: Store # 9727 Number 1# When there is a long line of patrons waiting no other employee is asked to help on the check out. They do have many technicians on staff. #2 I have been there many times and the last couple of times they did not have my prescriptions ready when they were suppose to be, so I had to wait another 30minutes. They did apologize for the wait, but it was very inconvenient. #3 The female pharmacist does not have very friendly customer service. Dr. LIU I beleive. For these reasons I will probably be changing pharmacies. Thank you for your interest in this matter.

My 15 month old daughter was prescribed amoxicillin by the Union Cross, Kernersville NC pharmacy. She was prescribled 400 mg/5 ML SUSP but instead received Amoxicillin 400 mg/g ML in white power not constitued form. I decided to call my doctor and verify this was correct and was told not to give to her under any circumstances. My husband called the pharmacy and talked to the pharmacist Kaitlyn W Miller and was told that this was their mistake and she did not have time to check every perscription filled by the intern, and in fact this was the second complain on that same intern that day. Dec 7th 2012. I will never use CSV Pharmacy again. I have no idea how much damage this could have caused my daughter but if it happens twice in one day how could I trust them with any perscription. I have contacted the NC Board of Pharmacy Investigations and Inspections as well

I have pretty much stopped shopping at CVS since sale items are always out of stock. Thought I would try again for Folgers coffee and of course, OUT OF STOCK. I know better and always go into store no later than Monday. Tried to get beer, OUT OF STOCK, coke, OUT OF STOCK, coffee, OUT OF STOCK. Mgr even said he never even sees a coke rep. What is wrong with this company?? I will now have to make yet another trip to your store on Wed and hopefully will get coffee. They had been giving rain checks out all morning according to clerk.I don't have high expectations mof getting the coffee on Wed this week wither.

I was a former customer of store #3082 Cvs Hogansville Rd Lagrange, Ga. I decided to move my prescriptions to the local independant pharmacy because of this store "losing" refills on 1 of my medications. The REALLY SAD part is, this has happened to my sister. mother, and now even my own son!! The Cvs on N. Greenwood St [new location since may 2012] "lost" my sister's heart medication refills 2 times so twice my sister had to call the dr. who said "you should have 3 refills left" and then proceeded to tell me that this is the 4th call today about Cvs "losing refills".

If that dr. alone has had 4 calls imagine how many other drs. have been called also. My wife decided to move our son's medications due to having to argue with the pharmacist "Ray" and his staff @ store #7615 Greenville St. about his refills. She was assured by Ray that there was 10 refills "on hold". She had his medicine refilled @ the local independant pharmacy where the pharmacist told her that the pharmacist @Cvs #7615 told him there are NO refills left!! The independant pharmacist said he would call Cvs again [who he said was rude! what a shame!] or call the dr. Here we go again, having to bother the busy dr because Cvs is lazy or incompetent, we already know they are rude!!

My mother is 87 years old and has to regularly "deal" with the N Greenwood store at the very least 2-3 times in 1 day just to get her medicines filled!! After talking with many. many people this seems to be happening daily. My question is why do you NOT CARE about how you treat the people who have kept this company in business? I did figure out that when you choose to move your medicines, Cvs chooses to "lose" your refills therefore creating aggravation for you and the drs. and nurses. I am really ashamed that we have 4 Cvs stores in LaGrange who have the poorest customer service and extremely rude and childish behavior such as this!!

I will NEVER recommend this company to anyone who asks me and will relate my experience to them!! It's sad and pathetic for the customers and unfortunate that they can't put this company out of business!!

During my employment with CVS, I noticed that my check stubs indicated sick pay had been used.
Since I do not take off from work, I was rather puzzled.
I spoke to other employees, who stated that the Manager (Sam Cortis) had used their sick pay as well as his own,
even though they had not called off from work.
I asked why the Manager did this, and I was informed that he used the sick pay to prevent going over his budget hours.
Some of the employees were aware of what was going on, but were afraid of getting terminated if they were to report it. (myself included)
This is very unethical, and do not understand how a big corporation would continue to employ an individual that does this!

My son's doctor phoned in a prescription for seizure medicine for my son on 1/11/13 around 1:30p.m. I never received an email that it was ready, so I called at 8p.m. last night (1/11/13) and was told it wasn't ready. I told them I would be stopping by in an hour to pick it up. He absolutely needs this medicine! I went to the drive-thru window at the Logan Township CVS in NJ and was told it was not ready. I had worked all day 14 hours and could not physically go into the store to sit for a half hour to pick it up so I went home hoping it would be ready today. It is 8:30 1/12/13, I called the pharmacy and it is still not ready. This is not acceptable. I am going to have to wait now until tomorrow after I get finished with work to attempt again to pick it up. I never had this problem when I dealt with the CVS in Woodbury, NJ. The presecription were always ready for me.

I'm a 24 year old female battling a brain tumor and recently had my 12th surgery on a Friday! I was released from the hospital with a prescription! I had a broken jaw with my mouth wired shut from getting a biopsy threw the inside of my mouth! And in order to do this they drilled my left jaw in half! I was weak tired and fatigued! I was always a Walgreens customer but had to switch because i had express scripts! From the beginning CVS has treated me horribly!

I don't know if its because of my age but they always give me hassle and embarrassement and torture to get my pain medication filled! I've never once abused or got early refills on my medication, these are things I searched to try and understand why they gave me such grief! I read maybe it was due to my age! But the day after my brutal surgery with a clear broken jaw and swollen head cvs would read my 10mg Percocet prescription and say immediately they didn't have it when they didn't even look!

Others said I couldn't fill medication there cause I've never been there before! So question how do they get new customers!! There always has to be a first time, even if it might be pain meds!They wouldn't even look me up in the system! I drove to 5 different CVS at first hearing there own versions of reasons why they would give me medication, some I knew we're lies because I've gotten my medicine filled there before! One said since it was Percocet my dr would of given me a second medicine that reacts with the Percocet and battling a brain tumor for 2 years I know that was not true! Another cvs said they don't give that dosage out and I knew that was a lie cause one other time I got my medicine there!

The main reason this was all happening was because my CVS that knows me was just out for the first time ever! So it sent me on a 5 hour man search after just getting out of surgery the day before! I even went to a CVS the next town over and they said since they weren't the city in which I lived they couldn't fill my meds which is another lie because CVS having 4,100 locations supposedly you can fill your medicine anywhere! And also I've filled my medicine once in the city my parents lived and in a city 100 miles away where i got treatment!

Im extremely aggravated and insulted how CVS is treating! I wish I could go back to Walgreens! Just because I'm 24 doesn't make me a drug addict! My dr closely monitors me and most of the time I refill my medicine weeks past the refill date! If I was an addict wouldn't I be there the day of! I know pharmacist have to be good judges of characters but what was sad was I had a wired mouth broken jaw face severely swollen and I'm battling cancer but none would even look me up they just instantly turned me away when they saw the medicine I was on! I didn't realize people after surgery shouldn't be allowed to get their medicine! I drove to over 12 CVS by the end of the day in a weak condition and the treatment was horrible until finally one CVS pharmacist was the sweetest woman ever and saved my life! She looked me up and filled my medicine in 10 minutes and asked for the first time how was I doing! I broke down and cried! In relief! I never knew pharmacist could be so cruel! I've had issues before with them but never like what I went through today!

I get I'm not old but isn't it bad as well that as a 24 year old i have to battle this illness! Again I've never given question that I was abusing my meds and second for 2 years I've never gone up on dosage which most patients do due to tolerances! I feel battling these surgeries and illnesses I deserve to be pain free and be treated with better dignity! It's not like I walked in and was a young girl that "looked healthy or like an addict like most Pharmacist try and look for or look at my history and see signs of abuse" but no I physically was showing all the signs of just having major surgery!

I'm waiting for the day to go back to Walgreens! CVS is sad and stereotyping! I know I'll hear some response like Pharmacist have to do their job when it comes to pain meds but they didn't do it correctly at all didn't try calling the hospital or lookin me up or realizing I need my medicine just by looking at me! They just turned me way one after the other in a cruel judgmental fashion! The excuses is what really got to me because pharmacies that previously helped me changed their policy all of a sudden common yeah right! Every other cvs is allowed to give 10mg out and now ur not!? And Than the CVS that made the lie of you can only fill your medicine in the city in which you live?

What happend if someone got hit by a car on vacation and got pain meds?! is CVS gonna turn them away!? Noooo! Lastly after 2 years on and off this medicine the Pharmacist said a doctor would always give you a counter acting medicine with Percocet and until i got that Medicine which they wouldnt even tell me the name of, That's was bull! Percocet 10 mg isn't even near the strongest dose of medicine and my drs have been appalled when they heard this story an told me to immediately complain! I'm scared in 4 weeks will I get the same treatment when I start radiation! Im realizing looking sick doesn't help me what about the day I'm not will they turn me away more if I look "healthy"!

I cant keep stressing and fighting with CVS about the medicine! I hope this complaint gets me somewhere! And look on my file and clearly see no signs of abuse! Yes I'm on pain medicine but I NEED it to have some quality of life! And I deserve it! I live in Boca Raton, Fl! Yes Florida supposedly is drug addiction capital I've read but the laws should be no different! And Deerfield beach fl shouldn't lie to their customers about not being able to fill Boca Raton scripts! I'm done now! Hopefully this can be resolved and I don't have to keep battling CVS or ever have to drive to 12 locations over 5 hours in severe conditions again!

If the CVS that finally filled my Scripts would of denied me I would of had not one CVS left to go to in Boca and plus it was Saturday at 7 pm and it was magically a 24 hour pharmacy!! And as Deerfield beach CVS said its not like I could of gone to another one in a diff city(lie)!!!! So that would of meant i would have been sent home to suffer and no one woth this amount of pain should ever have to! I can finally get some sleep and not worry about being in brutal agony and pain!

I was at CVS Pharmacy in Reidsville, NC store # 361-0572 phone # 336-342-4741. My Reg # TRN #7574 CSHR # 1017087 STR # 4381 . It took me about 5 min. waiting to drop off my prescription and I was told it would be 15 or 20 min before it would be ready. So I sit there and RPH: Sean Sullivan walked over and put the prescription in the basket on the counter. He did not say who the prescriptions were for and the two ladies standing at the counter never looked to see who they were for. The prescription was finished 6:18 pm and it was not given to me till 6:39pm the young lady that was help feeling the prescription said King is ready. I'm sitting there in pain waiting and when I got up to get my prescriptions one of the ladies had the nerve to what's wrong. I was the only person sitting there waiting on a prescription. This happened on Dec. 12, 2012.

On Monday, Jan. 7th. I stopped at CVS Pharmacy in Salisbury, NC at the corner of Avalon & Ennes St. to use the restrooms. I thought this would be a clean place as opposed to a Convenience Store restroom. Boy was I ever wrong.

The area to the restrooms was filthy, toilet paper was out and all over the room, mirror and sink was filthy, given, the commode was overrunning, even if fixed, the whole room was sickening and disgusting. Human waste was running on the floor. The health dept. would shut your store down.

I asked a female pharmacy attendant if I could use the Ladies, she said yes but stated it was not much better. I did, but paper was out, floors, mirror, sinks, and everything about both restrooms were horrible.

It was not just a commode, both restrooms were completely filthy. I could imagine Pharmacy employees using them, and then handling medicines and greeting customers.

I asked for and told the manager. He said he was unaware of the filthy bathrooms. I told him it was unacceptable and should be checked and cleaned several times a day. He acted like I should mind my own business. My visit to your store was suppose to be a quick in and out, prior to my trip but it left me with a negative impression with CVS.

In this economy you should do better. I have already mentioned this to several people. You need to visit your stores and see for yourself. Surely you can do better!

During my employment with CVS, I noticed that my check stubs indicated sick pay had been used. Since I do not take off from work, I was rather puzzled. I spoke to other employees, who stated that the Manager (Sam Cortis) had used their sick pay as well as his own, even though they had not called off from work. I asked why the Manager did this, and I was informed that he used the sick pay to prevent going over his budget hours. Some of the employees were aware of what was going on, but were afraid of getting terminated if they were to report it. (myself included) This is very unethical, and do not understand how a big corporation would continue to employ an individual that does this.

I have gone to CVS's in many cities I've lived in for many years to fill my Rx's. I have never encountered such a RUDE person as Stephanie at your Mattis St location in Champaign IL. I know her boss, Amy, and she would want to know as well how rude she treated me! At this point, I don't want to deal with her again so I am thinking about leaving CVS. You would lose a 10 yr customer because of this woman!!! She needs some serious training in customer service!!!! Carol Stuff 317.879.5862 I'm open to talking about Stephanie more to provide details.

I've shopped at SavOn/CVS since 1969. The same location on Pico Blvd./Point View LA 90035. The pharmacy tech was rude to me on several occasions. On 12/31/11, after receiving several automated calls to pick up my refills, I did so. The rude tech, who has waited on me for years, asked for my name. She couldn't find any refills and proceeded to check the pc.

She asked me to spell my last name-I did-than my first-then my birthday-I did. Then she stated we have a communication problem as I received a phone call. The person on the line asked why this person was speaking to me as if I were a child. The prescriptions were filled and I spoke with the pharmacist. I told her I would not return and I will transfer my prescriptions elsewhere. I spent $2700 on prescriptions in that store last year. I won't do that again.

I have had Blue Cross Family plan for 25 plus years. Your pharmicist was rude and not professional. She filled my prescription but would not fill my wifes as she preferred to argue with my wife that she was not on my family plan marked Blue Cross. We have used this CVS and other CVS pharmacies within the US without challenge or argument. I understand that education is poor now days but CVS should screen the people that are going to talk to the public. Because of this my wife is still sick and we have to go to a different pharmacy and I will promise it will not be CVS nor will it be in the future.

We will never shop in your stores again and I am sure at that store I will not be the only person leaving that store upset. I reccomend anger management and just plain educate your personal. I'm a doctor and have always suspected rude pharmacy techs of having mood swings. She should be employed elsewhere.

Previously, I used a nice local, small, independent pharmacy with prompt & accurate service, friendly & competent employees & wonderful customer service. Unfortunately, they went out of business & after they closed, I transferred my prescriptions to CVS Pharmacy in Sandy Springs, Georgia. I thought the nearby location and 24 hour service would be a good option for me. I was very, very wrong. I am told that this is a "high volume" pharmacy, which translates into very long lines, long waits for medication fills, out of stock medications, frequent ordering errors & poor customer service. Not surprisingly, this pharmacy has a high employee turnover rate & as a result, most of the employees do not know the customers they serve.

Honestly, there is not enough room to describe the many problems I have with this pharmacy. I usually try to “deal” with the bad experiences & hope tomorrow will be different. However, today was the last straw. After visiting this pharmacy multiple times (as well as two other CVS pharmacies) for the same (C2) generic medication, I was told that my supposedly ordered medication was to be picked up today. I am at the end of the previous prescription & I found out that the pharmacist did not order the med but they can reorder (?) it & I can pick it up in a week. What? I explained that I was running out of my medication & that I did not have enough to last another week since I had been trying to get it filled for over TWO weeks.

The pharmacist tells me that I can get the name brand, which is 200 dollars more expensive than the generic. No, thanks. Then he says I can "partially fill" my prescription for a few days under the brand name "to get me through" & then go to my doctor, get ANOTHER prescription & fill it under the generic when it comes in next week. Since this is a narcotic medication, I am pretty sure this is illegal, and if so, this would not be the first illegal advice from this pharmacist. No, thanks, again. No apologies, by the way. In fact, he acted as if he was doing me a huge favor, while he clearly stated (twice) that the mix up was not HIS fault! I have observed this pharmacist before & his communication skills & his customer service skills are lacking.

Because I take several medications on different schedules, I spend time & energy keeping everything organized with my medication schedules, doctors’ appointments & pharmacy refill requests, etc. I wish CVS pharmacy spent more time trying to be organized, efficient and effective. In my opinion, a well-run pharmacy should work hard to make the business of pharmaceuticals as efficient & as accurate as possible, especially for a customer of over 6 years. Excellent customer service does not include requiring that a customer travel from pharmacy to pharmacy, trying to get a prescription filled. Most pharmacy customers do not feel well to begin with, & if they expect & experience problems with every prescription, then the customer & the company have a problem. And if I were a leader within this company, I would want to know about such complaints. As a paying customer, I would like to be treated with at least some respect, perhaps following up with what he says he is going to do. When problems arise, & I understand that they will sometimes occur, I would like for my pharmacist to help me to find a positive solution, not deny blame & delay me getting my regularly scheduled medication.

Problems are rampant with my CVS pharmacy. In fact, I EXPECT problems with each pharmaceutical request I submit. If things go smoothly, then I am thankful, but surprised. That says a lot. I have asked family members & friends for recommendations for other pharmacies & the results are unanimous; do not go to CVS. Apparently, anywhere else is better than CVS. It is a big hassle to change to a new pharmacy, but based on what I have experienced, I feel I would be better served by using a different pharmacy. I certainly feel I have given CVS plenty of time to improve, but things are getting worse rather than better with time. I am at the end of my rope. I am so disappointed in this pharmacy.

The pharmacy failed to follow doctors prescription directions. Prescription stated clearly to fill "DAW", (dispense as written). Pharmacy filled with an alternate drug and then proceeded to lie when questioned about it. Pharmacy stated that the original drug was discontinued, then when confronted they produced the drug that was originally prescribed, but only dispensed 23 pills, insisting the drug was discontinued and that was all they had. I went to Walgreens and they stated that they have the drug and it is NOT discontinued, a fact that was also verified by the doctor writing the prescription. I fail to understand why and on what authorization a pharmacy has the right to disregard a doctor's prescription and then lie about it to a customer. then to add insult to injury charge full price for a partially filled order. I will be had pressed to continue to use CVS for any reason in the future. And please don't confuse me with some one time single purpose user, I have purchased many products from your store's and have never had a problem, however the actions of your pharmacy can not be excused and I find myself very reluctant to return for any reason, there are just to many other pharmacy's in the area to have to put up with this kind of incompetence.

I was at CVS 349 broadway, in Amityville. when i was being rung up she asked me if i had a cvs card. i told her no,could i use the stores. she told me they dont have store cards. i explained to her i use them at other cvs stores. she said not here. what strange is i used the store card 3 days ago at the same store. she was very nasty and rude. i never took her name,although she has red hair. there are only two people working in that store today and she is the only employee with red curly hair. 12/8/2012. i know like everything else this will get swept under the rug since i dont have a name and even if i did nothing would happen. so why am i making a complaint. hopefully someone will take this serious and fire this lady. i always had good experiences with cvs,this was unexceptable because this woman lied to myface and was rude ontop of it. the only way ill know if she was fired is when i go back to the store. if she is still employed i know this complaint fell on deaf and dumb ears.

Shortly before Christmas I was shopping in the Centre St. #861 Brockton MA store. I have IBS and symtoms can come on strong and without warning. I asked the cashier if they had a rest room and she referred me to the rear of the store where the pharmacy is located.

There were a few people waiting at the counter (maybe 3) and I aksed the pharmacist (he was a Asian man) if I could use the restroom; which I noticed was locked, and his reply was "no I am too busy." At this point I am panicking in fear of having an accident however I did not want to argue with him and explain my medical problem in ear shot of the people at the counter.

I rushed to the front of the store and the cashier asked if I found the restroom and I said the pharmacist is to busy to help me. My office is close by and I made it back to my office in the nick of time. I shop at CVS stores frequently on my lunch hour; however I have the choice of shopping at either Rite Aid or Walgreen which are near by.

From this point on I will not shop at your store I will spend my dollars at either Rite Aid or Walgreens; the pharmacist at store #861 was very rude and inconsiderate exspecially considering you have customer with various medical conditions in your store at any given time you would think the pharmacist would be cognisant of this.

After completing my shopping I headed towards the checkout. The cashier saw that i have a lot of coupons and immideatly make a face at me. she took each coupon and checked it and tried to say that they are wrong or not good or that i took a different products. i tried to help her but she again gave me the face and was impatient to me, whispered to the other cashier and talked about me. at the end, something was wrong with the paper in the machine, and she tore it rudely and gave it to me, tore some of my ecb. when i told her she said it's OK and wanted me to leave.

I had a friend go into the CVS in South Williamson, Ky she dropped off her sick daughters prescription and was told that she could not pick up the medication until the next day! Another friend dropped her script off this morning and the tech told her it would take 1 hour she came back at 7pm and it still was not ready! I have worked in pharmacies on and off for the better part of 10 years. Never have I heard of anything like this! I think this location needs to be looked at something does not sound right! If they are under staffed then it sounds like they need some help

Today, I threw my CVS card in the trash. I walked into store #8398 in Brownsville, Texas looking for a plush monkey chair, and I spotted one behind a counter. A salesman helped me and reached it for me. When I was about to pay for it the cashier told me that the chair was in hold for a customer. I told her that the other salesperson had not said anything about it. She refused to sell it to me. She had a whole pile of chairs behind the counter and she asked me if I wanted the giraffe instead.

That is when I found out that she was not holding it for a customer but for one of her friends or relatives. Why was she offering me the other animal chairs if they were all behind the counter too. I walked out of disappointed with the promise to never come back to a store where employees are allowed to favor their friends or relatives by holding merchandise for them. This happened on 12/31/2011 around 12:00 pm. I did not get the employee name I was too upset to even ask.

My cardiologist upgraded the mg on my medication that I take for my blood pressure. I called to see if it was ready and the pharmacist informed me that it was indeed ready and I owed a copay, but I don't pay a copay because I have 2 insurances for part D. after I brought this to his attention he said I should contact my insurance co about it. when all he had to do was re-bill it to my secondary insurance like the tech did the next day. I also needed my insulin refilled and was told that it was not in my profile when in fact the next day I find that it had to be ordered because there was not enough to fill my prescription. First of all this was not the first time this sort of thing happened between me and this pharmacist and I have been witness to other customers swearing they would go to another pharmacy due to Dr Malla's behavior.

Somehow this pharmacy always says they cannot fill any pain medications even when the prescriptions are from your Doctor. I have been going to this pharmacy for over 30yrs. without a problem until this pharmacist started working at this location. It is imperative that I get my meds. in a timely manner and I am due to have surgery on Feb. 15th, 2015, and will need to fill some kind of pain medication, why should my family have to travel 16 miles to fill my medication when my regular pharmacy is less than .3 tenths of a mile away from my house?

I called my RX in around 10:30 am on Jan 31, 2015 ask for it to be ready by 1:00 pm cause I had to go to work, so I get their at 1:45 to pick up my medicine and they said it would take about 10 minutes to have it ready. This is not the 1st time that this has happened. I used walgreens for years and never had this kind of experience. Please explain to me why we even put what time we would like to pick up... Thanks

My general experience with CVS is that the Pharmacy Dept. is just plain slow. Doesn't matter when a prescription is ordered it will never be ready until you come ask for it and then they prepare it taking an hour of your time. This is the last straw, why on earth should I deal with SubPar customer service and shabby treatment. My local CVS in Chino was out of my prescription medicine. I ordered a refill last Saturday and the Automated System never contacted my Dr. Complaint 2 So I've been out of my Medicine for 10 days and my Local Store is out of it. I found one 15 miles and I was informed by Minh Thoung in Diamond Bar, who knew that I had driven far that they do not accept discounts [Good RX]. He refused to try and run the card and said that is store policy. I asked for manager, "none available and it wouldn't matter". I told him that if he used the code it would take it. His reply was that it "probably would but they don't accept discount cards".

They are entitled to their policy and as a consumer, I'm entitled to answer them by boycotting all CVS Stores for any type of purchase. They have lost 1000s of dollars of my business. That's only Pharmacy. Bye CVS. I'm 1 family but if 1000's boycott them for there lousy service it adds up. Remember all who read don't just complain go elseware, when their bottom line sags then they will listen.

i live in middletown new jersey 07748 Palmer ave and high way 36…. i have a problem with the store manager..my son works for them and he gets treated bad all the time from other employees .like he made $40 dollars in tips in April 4th 2014 and the manager over there said he was not getting it because it was his store policy..not cvs policy…. my son reads it all the time…but in there employee hand book it does not say anything about tip from customers .my son had a conversation with the costumer he was being polite and he gave him $40 dollars because he was being nice. and Im tired of hearing my son cry over this he may be 21 years old but every one need there parents at some point in there life to guide them threw this.my son has good communicating skills with costumers and they love him there… because he is so polite to them..my son takes a lot… he may works one day a week and he do not care as long as he has a job.god bless him for staying there.i want him to leave but he fights me on this..but what are you going to do about this? they are at age..

She knew I was having to wait while I was in my wheelchair. Praying it wouldn’t start raining. She saw me waiting. She made me sit there while she filled a bunch of other ones. They went on to the shelf. I said something about her rude looking way, to one of the other pharmisist the time I went before. I think she made me sit there in my wheelchair longer because I am used to being treeted real nice when I’m there. She changed the way I feel about going there. I don’t have alot to be happy about! I’m 45 & permanently disabled! I used to be happy when I went to CVS! She changed that!

I have had numerous problems filling prescriptions at CVS. Today, I went to pick up my order only to be told my insurance would not cover the whole amount and I would need to cover the rest. I complained and told them to check again. The second time I was told that my insurance would not cover the refill until the next day. I returned home and called my insurance company. They informed me that the pharmacy had not even submitted it. I then called the pharmacy back again and told them they hadn’t submitted the script. They then ran it through with no problems. No apology or anything. Appalling; what happened to customer service?

In preparing to leave USA for extended Bahama cruise aboard private vessel stopped in at CVS pharmacy on Alton Rd in South Miami beach for refill of test strips to cover cruising time. Imagine my surprise when I went to use those test strips to find they were expired on 12/31/13.

I purchased them in late Februaryomthis means they sat on shelf at pharmacy for just over six weeks afterexpiration date and then were sold to me by a pharmacist I had explicit conversation with about leaving country. I filed a complaint with CVS and then contacted Facebook page of CVS after hearing nothing from them. I did get response and contact asked for me to forward my complaint to FB so it could be forwarded to customer service. It’s now been eleven days and situation still unresolved and all I have gotten is runaround?

My daughter in USA has had several conversations with various CVS employees about this problem on my behalf and still nothing is being done because the guy that is supposed to have already handled this situation left for vacation without doing anything. And sent word back via another staff member that I could use expired strips up to four months after exp date….my machine will not accept an expired code key at all and he is wrong!

I have asked for someone to contact Watermakerair.com for instructions on having replacement product brought to Staniel cay Yacht Club, Staniel Cay, Exuma, Bahama as I feel CVS should step up and ship at cost of CVS Pharmacy! There are no pharmacies or stores here for me to buy testing supplies and I feel since CVS was negligent iin Following proper inventory control policy and having been made aware of problem CVS is still not caring one way or another and it’s MY health that is at risk due to their negligence.

My husband has pancreatic cancer and has been prescribed narcotic medications to manage his pain. On March 17, 2014, as his primary caretaker , I went into store #5081 to request the prescriptions be filled as directed by his doctors at Lankaneau Hospital. I was told that they didn’t have the drugs in stock and they would have to be ordered. I asked if I could leave the prescriptions so the drugs could be ordered and was told by the pharmacy tech that if I left them they may get lost. I was told to return in a couple of days. I returned on March 24, 2014 to request the prescriptions be filled again and was told to return on Thursday to speak with the supervisor. I was given the scripts back again. On March 27, 2014 I returned to the store, I spoke to the pharmacist on staff was told again that the drugs would have to be ordered and could not be ordered unless I left the prescriptions. I told him that this was my third visit and I knew I was requesting narcotics for my husband and that I could not have them filled until I left the prescriptions but when I attempted to do so on the previous two visits I was told the same thing. He then stated he would order the needed drugs and they would not be in until Tuesday April 1, 2014. The pharmacy tech told me I could go to another store.

How your staff handled this situation is problematic on many levels. My husband will run out of medication on Monday and the refill will not be ready until Tuesday. Instead of ordering the medications as they stated, they finally suggested that I go to another store to get them. This is the closest store to our home and we are new to the area, therefore I would need to run around looking for a store to fill this order even though our records have been access at their location. My husband had a bad night on Wednesday and neither of us slept very well. Your staff demonstrated an extreme disregard for my husband’s condition and insensitivity for his caregivers time, energy and effort. We are under enough stress without having to be subjected to this level of disregard by staff who is supposed to be helping. I wonder if I was one of their European customers if this callous disregard would have been displayed.

I expect a personal apology and I expect that your staff be informed of the error of their ways. They need to be trained to provide a higher level of customer service and no one should be subject to this behavior in the future.

Hi I have been filling my prescriptions for over 10 years at CVS pharmacies. I have a chronic disease that causes severe pain and extreme fatigue. My 1st complaint is about the pharmacist at the CVS, Teresa Zink. Our 1st encounter involved me having to explain in depth to her why I was only getting 1 filled prescription instead of all 3 that were there waiting. I had already told the pharmacy tech that I only wanted 1 & I would be back in 2 days to get the others.

The tech in turn went to the pharmacist. I was kinda embarassed to say “I can’t afford it right now”, partially because of the line that had accumulated behind me. But after the pharmacist accused me of only filling my narcotics, I finally told her I didnt have enough for all of them. She told me she apologized she misunderstood and I was allowed to get the prescription. About a week or so later the same pharmacist called to inquire about 3 new meds I never refilled.

I politely explained to her that im not taking them and I would discuss that with my Dr on my next visit. She then told me that since I don’t get all my medications filled her pharmacy would not be filling any more of my prescriptions. I have been having difficulty finding the pain medications I need therefore I have run out. I also told her about my need to bring my meds in a few days early so I wont have to worry about running out. With medications my physical capabilities are limited I am practically bedridden without them.

I fill discriminated against and humiliated that my local pharmacist treats me like im a dope fiend only filling prescriptions to get a high. And I am extremely frustrated when I have to drive over 30 miles thru several cities searching unsuccessful for meds the pharmacy a half a mile from my home has them. The CVS who agreed to fill the prescription told me they would have the medications in today. I call aftet 5 to check the status to be told “it didnt come in today, maybe it will tomorrow. ” In the meantime I am without pain medications that I have been trying to fill since last week.

I went to CVS a few months ago to get 3 bottles of insulin, and they only gave me two. I had to go back. And on Jan of this year, I was supposed to get 400 One Touch Ultra strips, and today, I ran out, and found out that I only received 200. I called CVS, and told them that this is the second time that this happened, and they said that it was an honest mistake, and I said that I should not be charged for them, and I did ask if I could pick them up today at 5,a nd that said that its fine. Why do they keep messing up like this. The pharmacy does have some new people. A few years back a different manager was on, they have someone else now, THANK GOD. He said that you should be on Lipitor since im a diabetic.

I have my cholestrol testing periodoically, and its fine. My doctor said that a pharamcy maanger shouldn’t be telling you what to take. That to me is RIDICULOUS. He is not a doctor. Lastyear, I went to get some test strips, and had a question for the pharmacist, and she said that she is too busy and she wasn’t even doing anytning. She was rude and did n’t sound like she wanted to be bothered. Lastyear, I tried to rell the store manager about some of the pharmacy complaints and he was rude and said that he did not want to hear it. And my mom tried to tell him and he was rude to her as well. I hope that CVS offers me something with all the problems I’ve had with them. THIS is inexcusable. and my insurance only covers prescriptions over 30 days only by CVS. If i had a chouce of another pharmacy, It would not be CVS.
