CVS Pharmacy y más in National City is a 24-hour location providing pharmacy services and everyday essentials. Reviews note the convenience of its hours and the helpful, professional staff, with specific praise for a cashier providing great help late at night. The pharmacy offers a drive-thru and sends text reminders when prescriptions are ready. However, multiple reviews cite consistently slow pharmacy service and long wait times, both inside and at the drive-thru, sometimes resulting in prescriptions not being ready despite notification. The parking lot is described as having sketchy people. For general shopping, the staff is usually polite, but there are noted issues like out-of-service ice cream fridges for weeks and a repetitive, narrow selection of nail polish shades from popular brands. A suggestion for improvement is an online check-in system to see real-time prescription status and estimated costs to avoid delays and surprises.
Only the drive thru pharmacy window is 24 hours. Extremely misleading. Even the sign outside the closed and barred doors says 24 hours.

They need to have two lines for the drive-thru one for people that do not have their prescriptions ready and another one for the ones that do. People are waiting in this line for over an hour to pick up the prescriptions.
