CVS Pharmacy

Avoid this CVS unless you are cool with getting a boot on your car and have to pay $ 95 on the spot to get it off. I parked there and bought something out of there, but realized I just needed to go across the street for a few minutes and come back. I came back and there was the boot. I tried to talk to the managers who felt bad but they said there’s nothing they can do. The insensitive person outside who put the boot on my car was like a robot who repeated his same words over and over but didn’t listen to your reasoning. I returned what I bought at CVS and plan to never come here again. To be honest I think I might avoid all CVS’s and just use Walgreen’s or somewhere else.

The people are nice, they really are but I really don’t understand how the pharmacy operates. I’ve dropped off prescriptions, in person, and been told to come back within a certain time frame and when I return, they haven’t filled it. YOU TOLD ME WHEN TO COME BACK!!! My son is on anti-​seizure meds and we don’t always have consistent refills, even if I call ahead. Again, the people are very nice but the pharmacy is ridiculous. Now they are telling me via text that I can refill my prescriptions via text. I’m sure this’ll work.

I shop here a lot and I like the staff. Kat King is cool as are the folks who work there regularly in the morning.
The selection is very good.
Tip: be careful about the parking lot. If you park there and leave to travel throughout Decatur you will probably get booted.

Owner is insane. Stopped to ask a police officer for directions and was booted in 5 min. Completely inconsistent with the brand and southern hospitality.

Okay really? How do they NEVER have what I need in stock?
Went one time because I needed kitty litter, out. How can you be out of kitty litter at CVS? Is it really that hot of an item?
Went again, needed Almay makeup remover. OUT. How is this possible? Of all the makeup remover brands. What are the odds? Passed by the kitty litter on my way out just for kicks… Still out of stock.
This is an amazing location that is minutes from my house but if I need to grab something, definitely not the place to go. Oh, and for all you bargain hunters, they don’t have a clearance section.

The pharmacy is incompetent. We are new to Decatur thought we used to live only a few miles away in Atlanta. in the three months we have lived here they have screwed up our prescriptions three times. The pharmacists response was to call our insurance company… Which for RXs IS CVS. Moving everything back to Emory. We miss Doc Cheys anyway…

These people are morons, incompetant and liars, use anyone else if you can. Read below and think about this for a moment, do you want people this inept potentially holding your life in their hands? More than one person has been killed by a clerical error, and since they are clearly capable of making those, what’s to say they won’t accidentally switch your medication too?
Here’s my wonderful story with them: I dropped off a prescription, they told me it would be ready in half an hour. I came back and they said whoops, you have to come back tomorrow. So I came back next day and they said whoops, you have to wait two more days.
At this point I spoke with the manager who swore to me that it’d be filled on Friday. (These meds are restricted, it’s a child’s ADHD medication and the date they are filled is extremely important.). When I called in on Sunday to make sure they were there (I just got back from a business trip, I couldn’t actually be there on Friday), guess what, whoops, they hadn’t filled it. And, of course, it’s not within their power to back date it to when they said they’d fill it.
A 7 year old boy now has to go without his meds, he’s a wreck when he’s off his meds. Cries, is over sensitive, gets angry, depressed…

Good service and good location next to downtown Decatur. Not 24 hours.

Note to Jane B: Are you calling in your prescriptions ahead of time? We always call in our prescriptions and they have them waiting. It does get pretty busy in the pharmacy sometimes. Even better, order them online!
I love this CVS. I only wish it were open 24 hours. I also sometimes wish they had more cashiers. It can get really busy up front and it aggravates me no end when there are ten people standing in line with one cashier working the register and the other cashier is restocking the shelves or talking to another co-​worker, oblivious to everything else.
That said, I have only great things to say about the pharmacists and the cashiers in that department.

The pharmacy here is always very busy, but they seem to have a big staff who work hard. I’ve gotten several prescriptions here and always feel like the staff is quite friendly and helpful. This is definitely a better pharmacy than the CVS on North Decatur across from the hospital

Located in the heart of Downtown Decatur, this is a quick and convenient pharmacy. I’ve never picked up prescription meds here, but it is great for over the counter drugs or to make a quick stop to grab chips/​salsa to bring to a friend’s house. You can also get some photos printed here.
Staff is friendly… no complaints. Plenty of parking which is nice bonus in Decatur.
You can get a CVS keychain tag and get discounts.

This CVS is quite large and the staff is very nice — however, I mainly frequent this store for its pharmacy… which is unfortunately lacking. When picking up prescriptions, the wait is on average 15 to 30 minutes (even if there are only 1 to 2 people in line).
Luckily there are great stores nearby (Heliotrope, Pastries A Go Go, Jazmin Spa) — so you have alternatives to waiting in line.
