“All products I was looking for, were on display, I ask for help about a coupon I had and wasn't sure how to use it and they helped me...great customer service and they have a cashier and two self check out registers if you are in a rush!”
“This CVS is so convenient near me. The staff is young mostly except Miss Brenda but she is a ? with experience. They 95% of the time have been courteous, quick, and willing to go the extra mile. There was a big mix up with MoneyGram on Saturday and Miss Naomi (manager) explained the process and eliminated the mistake and delivered the 200.00 sent from CA. The staff can only work with the numbers that they are given to operate store. Yes at times you might only find one or two in the store but that is the product of the new USA. People expect businesses to hit 1000% all the time; it is not realistic. They are customer driven and that is why I given them 4.5 star. I can't rate the pharmacy because I have no prescriptions but all in store experiences are good. This is coming from a fifty year old. People are not patient and this is not the Mc Donald's drive through-- two chreseburgers please!”
“I love Walgreens and very rarely have a negative experience. The Market Street location always has makeup in stock! The one on Uvalde Rd usually has very little.”
“A good, honest, and clean store. They let me borrow a pen, and they chased me outside in my car because I forgot my phone in the counter. Very polite and kind of them. Thank you very much. 5/5/2024 @5pm.”
