Pharmacies in Lomita, CA

“I ended up getting a little righteous below - so let me 'lead with the lede' - everyone at this pharmacy is great and the least I can do is give them a five star review.I quite literally never write reviews, which is a bit ironic because I work in digital marketing. I'm well-versed in how a certain type of person likes to weaponize online reviews for petty revenge, a quick 'vent' or other nebulous reasons.I like to believe that these people simply do not know how damaging negative reviews can be. That's not as true for something like a CVS compared to other types of businesses (i.e. small businesses) - but I'm taking my chance for a tiny little soapbox here.Sadly, it is not a 'fair' system for the actual human beings at these businesses (yes, the ones at major chains are human beings as well) - especially at certain difficult and often thankless jobs.But, I feel compelled to write this out of appreciation for the staff at this pharmacy and, why not - all of the other people in this world who have to work a high-stress and mostly 'thankless' job.I've always thought that working at a busy pharmacy must be one of the most stressful jobs out there. A combination of long lines (at rush times at least - this pharmacy isn't TOO busy), constantly ringing phones and a whole lot of misdirected anger from customers - it sounds incredibly difficult.Consider the frequent supply chain issues (e.g. with ADHD medications the past couple years), high-demand addictive substances (and following their tight regulations AND trying to be responsible), insurance issues and all sorts of other factors at play.I very much understand the frustration with people dealing with prescription drug issues - it's a very flawed system. But again, I am always sad to see it taken out on people who are just doing their job. Blame it on 'the system' - not those who are stuck within it's confines.Anyway - it seems to me that pharmacists and techs must be saints to keep their cool and treat people decently. Going above and beyond to help customers seems amazing.So, to get to the point of this review - the staff here do indeed seem like those saints, and they have been wonderful for our family.We have a 2 year old constantly getting sick, as well as our own medication. Since day one they have been patient and helpful as we dealt with a couple of those mutually frustrating situations. Months later, they now recognize us and we feel very welcome. This will sound absurd, but our 2 year old literally asks about staff members by name sometimes.Anyway - there is my first review in recent memory. Much appreciation to the staff here!”

“Audrey was so kind and courteous. I live in West Hollywood yet I have a much better experience at the Lomita on PCH and Eschelman location than in WEHO because of the professionalism and proficiency such as from Audrey.”

“Wonderful staff here! The pharmacy always go above and beyond for us and I appreciate them so much! Right on the corner of Eshelman and PCH with plenty of parking!”

“Shopping in Lomita, California...I saw this CVS down the block and across the street. I thought: wouldn't it be great if I could find a rain poncho at regular price and use the 30 percent off coupon on my CVS app?We parked easily and entered the cozy store. We checked the aisles, but were unable to find a rain poncho. (It was supposed to rain because of a hurricane in the south.)On a whim, as we were about to give up, I asked the cashier if there were any rain ponchos. She knew exactly where they were: behind the shopping carts, next to the ATM. She moved the shopping carts out of the way. On the top shelf of the display with the umbrellas, were red, blue and orange rain ponchos! Yay!I told her that I wanted to use my 30 percent off coupon. She looked up my account, found my coupon and applied it to my balance! Yay! $9.99 plus 9.5 percent tax is a good deal!Thanks to CVS (Longs Drugs Store in Hawaii) for being consistently reliable!”
