This CVS Pharmacy in San Diego offers pharmacy services, vaccinations, personal care items, pet toys, healthier snacks, and more. It provides weekly deals and an ExtraCare program for savings and rewards. Options like same-day delivery and free pickup with online orders aim to save time. The store has a huge parking lot, though at this location parking is not free and is limited to 45 minutes. Customer experiences vary. Some note helpful and friendly staff, such as a pharmacy employee who assisted with a vaccination appointment and a cashier who applied a promotion. The store is described as a convenient place for essentials. However, multiple reviews state this is an understaffed CVS. Employees appear too busy to help customers, which is cited as a reason for lower ratings. The corporation is criticized for not paying for enough staff. The store's selection is considered limited compared to larger locations, with a small ice cream fridge, nothing in toys, but a larger liquor section.
This CVS needs serious improvement. There are always long lines at the pharmacy, and even with six people behind the counter, only one is actually helping customers. The wait times are consistently terrible. They need better staffing and better service.

Staff in front is awful. Staff in pharmacy is better.

I love all the people that work here. They make me feel very welcome and they all have very different personalities which totally represents the spirit of Ocean Beach.
