“Pretty excellent selection of booze, snacks, and drinks, but the store layout is very cramped. Some of the staff is quite nice and informed about the stock, and a few are kind of rude or don't know about basic items they have or don't have. At least they're consistent with their hours during COVID-19, which is a real plus!”
“I had redhead to CVS for something and it turns out I was able to get my gift cards there on Christmas Day I'm so excited and sort of felt blessed waiting to the very very very very very last minute LOL”
“How often do you get nice folks working hard yet have time to help. I needed some directions and they jumped right in with an answer for me. They were right on. Thanks fellas, it was nice doing business with you!”
“This location is kind of run down, ratty. Time for an upgrade/face-lift. It's unfortunate because the customer service is great, and it's a complete contrast, to the dingy appearance of the gas station. There are a couple of employees that work here that are devout Christians, they are wonderful to see and speak with, every time I visit this particular location.”
“I love to put ice in a pop cup and put the cold French vanilla coffee in it and can't beat a fresh donut or a pink colada slumped. Little pricy but it's 7-eleven ?”
“I’m not a fan of CVS as a whole. But I do like the one near me. I forget things all the time and it’s the closest store... Everyone there is really nice and make me feel like a regular. I’m pretty new around this area so it’s nice to have a place to go and have people recognize me.”
“We purchased from Walgreens photos regularly. Most of the time the photos are on time and look great. A rare occasion a machine is down and they transfer to a nearby Walgreens.”
“This CVS has the most polite people working there. Everyone including the pharmacy staff is very helpful! There are always good sales on items that we purchase most. If there are lines at checkout in Pharmacy or front store they get you checked out quickly.”
“Very helpful team—Ahmed and Mohamed were excellent. Moe, in particular, went above and beyond to understand my situation and recommend exactly the right medication for my needs. Highly recommend their service.”
“I never had a problem with CVS store, the only thing that I am concerned for is the coupons. For Example: if I have a 40% off on one full price item & an extracare coupon, CVS start with the extracare first, which you don't get 40% off that item. So the cost will be less. Also, they take too long for you to get your refund put back on your card. But other than that, they are clean and I like the customer service”
“Mona is the most helpful Pharmacist I have ever worked with. She provides great information and always goes the extra mile to help out with my elderly parents - thank you Mona !”
“Best pharmacy! The male pharmacist was kind, professional, and very helpful. He took the time to answer my questions and provided excellent customer service. I truly appreciate the care and support I received.”
“My mom has been a patient at this Walgreens pharmacy for quite some time. Unfortunately, most of my visits here have been frustrating. Many times when I come in, I’m not acknowledged at all, and prescriptions that are said to be ready suddenly need an extra 30 minutes. On a recent visit, I came to pick up a prescription for my mom and was again told it would take another 30 minutes. The only person who didn’t make me feel invisible was a young man who told me he was currently training at the pharmacy. He was wearing a sword, and I didn’t catch his name. He was respectful, attentive, and genuinely cared about helping. Despite what I was told earlier by a technician, he managed to get the prescription ready in less than 10 minutes and worked with another staff member to get everything completed. This experience really stood out because it showed that someone who is still in training can demonstrate more urgency, professionalism, and respect toward patients than some of the regular staff. There was no attitude or dismissiveness, just good customer service. Walgreens seriously needs to do better overall. Patients shouldn’t feel ignored or like they’re an inconvenience, especially when it comes to medication. Huge shoutout to that trainee for being the only bright spot during an otherwise frustrating experience. I don’t usually write reviews, but this one felt necessary.”
