I made an appt for vaccines 2 weeks ago. I arrived 10 minutes early as instructed. The pharmacist giving the vaccines ignored me until 15 minutes past my appt time while he waited on customers who had arrived after me for prescriptions (and I doubt had scheduled appointments.) Very unprofessional!

ZERO STARS Where do I begin without writing an epic novel? They frequently close the drive thru or use it for clinical purposes, effectively cutting its use off to handicap people who need to get their scripts. I got trapped in the drive thru once behind two cars in heat of 102 for two hours while they covid tested two cars. $20 in gas for the AC to keep from roasting. Constantly rude staff. Constant errors. Super slow, incompetent, rude service. BUT I GOT THE SCOOP FROM THE PHARMACIST CHRIS!!! They again cut off the drive through and I get told in one instance by Alissa that I have to come in, and if I can't I have to find someone to go in for me. Huh? The pharmacist says he'll speak to her because they can help me in the drive thru. I did as I was told and went to the closed drive thru and called once there so they could help me. Alissa answered and decided to launch a frustrated attitude interrogation as to why I had to use the drive thru. Now I'm pissed. It's non of her business. I was told I could be helped and I was doing what I was told, so I give her attitude right back and told her because I'm handicapped. Does she want my medical records and a note from my doctor? WTF? Really? She shoves my meds in the drawer, and i put my handicap placard up to the window. She then proceeds to shout about how was she supposed to know. I informed her that the only thing she needs to know is what i told her when she answered the phone, and that was i was doing as another staff member told me. HERE'S WHERE CHRIS' INFO COMES IN.......... I called the pharmacy after I get home to speak with the manager about the situation. The pharmacist, Chris, proceeds to tell me...... They are permanently short staffed. CVS and Walgreens are buying up all the smaller pharmacies and dumping the workload into their existing stores without hiring more staff. They are unable to keep up with pharmacy work because they have too much clinical work. CVS refuses to hire more staff, despite the constant employee and customer complaints. The staff is all overworked, tired, angry, and ready to quit, so thats why they are unable to treat their customers with respect. As long as CVS treats them this way, that treatment will tend to be passed off to the customers, and thats just the way it is and will continue to be. So there you have it As a nurse, I've dealt with all of the above, just throw in some code blues and people actually dying, and if you behave the way these people are behaving, you find yourself looking for another job. As it is, there will be some communications between me, CVS Customer Relations, the BBB, and Americans With Disabilities on the government website.

Normally the service isnt that great at this CVS pharmacy, but I have to give this a 5 star review because Becca (I think that is the spelling) really makes a difference in the quality of service at this location. If CVS could hire and keep more people like her it would go very far in making CVS a lot better place.

The absolute worst pharmacy in Carson City, Nevada by all means send your prescriptions somewhere else sitting in a drive-through line for more than 25 minutes for a simple pick up is absolutely ridiculous. He try to go inside. There's a line of 10 people the people behind the counter, if they are understaffed well, that's too bad but no one seems to give a shit. The store manager doesn't do anything all she says is nothing I can do people throwing things around the store smells crackheads wandering around if I could get this place zero stars I absolutely would.

The worst pharmacy I've ever seen. Extremely long waiting times for pickups. It takes an extremely long time to prepare your prescription. A year ago it was not so bad. But now it's horrible—time to run away.

This pharmacy used to be mediocre, but recently it was somehow worsened. Incompetant staff complicate what should be straight forward, Then justify actions with outright lies calling company policies law or blaming the insurance. There is no recourse, I tried to have corperate sort the staffs blunder for me and the person "helping" me muted herself halfway through only unmuting herself long enough to hear her laughing as the call was dropped. There are plenty of decent pharmacies, Dont let your important prescriptions fall into this ones hands.

Working in healthcare, I know how tough it can be to have more work than people to do that work. The pharmacy at this location is chronically understaffed, and it's starting to show in the turnover and obvious overwork of the employees. They work SO hard, and can just never break even. Having said that, my last three interactions have been breathtakingly rude. When inquiring about a scrip in process, the response was, "How should I know?"After 37 minutes when I was asked to wait 3, I waited again in line and asked for an update, apologizing but stated that I had to work that night. "Oh! You have to work? Good for you." was the response. On the third interaction, I called to make sure they had received the information they needed because my scrip was now 5 days overdue, and asked if it could be filled by the end of the day because I really needed it for the weekend. The response? "Not if I have to spend all night on the phone with you." The call timer was one minute and fifteen seconds. I generally think that if a person is having a lot of bad interactions, they are likely the one causing them. In this case, with three separate people on three separate days, I think that the employees are so stressed that they don't even have the energy for basic courtesy. It's an unreasonable environment for them to work in, and it's taking a toll on them and their patients.

My wife picked up prescription for my daughter yesterday. The prescription was for 39 pills but there were only 30 in the box without any explanation. I have called twice and left voice messages once yesterday and once today still no return call. It would be helpful if they would return the call so that we would know what we need to do to get the remaining nine pills.

This pharmacy is a mess. They make frequent clerical errors. Constant turn over of staff or short staffed and medications are not filled in a timely manner. I am moving my meds somewhere else!

This pharmacy does not offer Covid testing even though they accept appointments for the test and generate a dozen emails regarding your appointment. The management of the store needs to work with corporate to get this testing site removed as an option. Really poor customer service and problem resolution.

Went to this CVS twice in the past three days for prescriptions. Each time I picked up at the drive through. The first time I waited a total of 4 minutes, my prescription was ready as promised and everything was correct, The person who helped me was efficient and pleasant. The second time, today, my visit lasted less than 2 minutes. A different person waited on me and she was super fast in getting my prescription and again, everything as promised. She was very cheerful gave me the feeling she was glad to help. I liked everything being completed as promised.

Worst pharmacy and service every!! Each month they demand my provider write a new script since, they claim I am out of refills. Each time I pick up this happens even if the medication says it has multiple refills. Then they cut me off when I try to explain things and are conceding towards me, even though this happens on their end of the system.

Hire more staff in the pharmacy or close the drive thru. I have been here at all times of the day and there is always a long line with one person working the register. HIRE MORE STAFF!

This place is so slow. Had to wait in the drive though twice because the first time the prescription wasn't ready and the second time I waited for 45 minutes in line with only two people in front of me. Also the second time I arrived to the window they told me it was delayed another hour. Ended up without my prescription and had to transfer it somewhere else.

I was the ONLY car in line at 9 am and it took 15 mins for them to come to the window, even after pushing the call button several times. Then it took another 15 minutes to give me the meds that they texted me saying were ready for pickup. Worst part is, it's like this every time. Painfully understaffed.
