Cvs Pharmacy

I just wanted to give a shout out to Elizaveta that works in the pharmacy. She is so pleasant and nice! I might of spelled her name wrong, but she does everything right!

The CVS Beale St Pharmacy staff are rude, disengaged from helping their customers, making the feel like the customer is interrupting them. Someone forgot to tell them their paychecks are courtesy of their customers. Thank God for Walgreen’s.

This place is alright. I’ve been going here for 20+ years and it has what you need. The excess amounts of garbage in the walkways and parking lot can be a concern. Also, their shopping carts are always brought outside the store and can be found different parts of Wollaston. Be aware that they have employees going into the elderly housing buildings to pick these carts up.

The pharmacy folks are not so nice. Went to refill my needles and syringes. The Asian guy pharmacist showed despise then stared at me asking «needles?» In front of all other customers. Total HIPAA violation.
I go to another cvs now.

This is my main CVS. After coming here for several years, the only thing I can really say is that the experience really depends on who is working. The younger employees are extremely courteous and helpful. Yup, I’m that crazy coupon lady who screws up the self checkout machines or coupon centers because I simply have too many coupons. I never gyp CVS — I ensure I have the appropriate coupons in order so i don’t hold up the checkout area. Anyways, if something goes wrong, USUALLY the older folks get really pissed off and think I’m scamming the place! They don’t let me use some coupons even though they are valid. Honestly, I dont even care if it’s a couple of bucks, but it really adds up over time. Also, as someone else has specified, the pharmacy does not check IDs when picking up.
I really do love how this is a ²⁴⁄₇ CVS though. The card section is amazing compared to most drug stores. Also, for the other bargain hunters, there are two coupon centers! You know how they usually run out of paper when you go up to them? Yeah, I know that feel! There’s four self checkout machines as well as a cashier, so your wait time won’t be long.

CVS is a great place to go shopping for cards and to get needles and pills and more medicine like that. It has Valentines to give people and has candy and gum and more things like that. That is why I like CVS !

One of the not so spacious pharmacies that I have been to for the CVS brand here in Quincy. They are quite busy most of the time due to the proximity to Wollaston train station. Here are some of the key things about this store:
— 2 convenient entrances help parking easier on a busy day
— the parking lot is private but not too big. In a semi strip mall across, shared with the liquor store.
— probably the one cvs store in Quincy which is almost always well stocked in majority of the aisles
— pharmacy is near the entrance next to Beale street
— pharmacy is 24×7 and has a minute clinic too
— no drive through pharmacy like the one on southern artery and Quincy shore drive
— cvs branded products are tough to find at this store.
All in all — cannot complain. Good store. Fun shopping for meds and other essentials.

It is certainly handy that they are open 24 hours. Larger than average.

My one star is for the people in the actual store part. The pharmacy gets NO stars. I went in once late at night because I get home from work about 11pm. They had me wait for my med only to come back 10 minutes later and said that I didn’t have any more refills. I was tired so went home. I went in the next day to see what they could do about getting me my med as I NEED it. They said there was no reason I couldn’t have it.
Then yesterday I went and picked up two medications. First I stood there five minutes without be acknowledged. I was asked, «Do you have any questions for the pharmacist?» When I said, «Yes. Is this stuff tough on the stomach. I have an digestive disorder.» she said, «I don’t know. You can read the attached paper.» Seriously???

Shouldn’t you be IDed when filling a prescription? Didn’t get IDed by the person I was dropping it off to or the person I was picking it up from when I was in there yesterday. After they called my name literally anyone could have went and grabbed it. No wonder Quincy has such a drug problem if pharmacies in the area are run this irresponsibly… The staff in the rest of the store are always helpful and friendly. The store is always clean and organized. It’s a good location so I will be back however I definitely won’t be using this pharmacy next time I’m sick.

This is my local CVS, so I’m here a lot, but it’s really the pharmacy I’m here to talk about. My doctors office was out of flu shots and she told me to hit any pharmacy. I was here on a lunch break one day when I was working from home and the process was painless — fill out a form, wait a few minutes for them to process form and ring me up (still need to be run up even though insurance covers it), then another few minutes before someone found me in the waiting area to get my shot. They also give a 20% off coupon to use on one item as a reward for getting a flu shot there, which is a nice touch.
I would still prefer to get my flu shot at the doctors office (because it’s one stop shopping — annual checkup and flu shot all at once), but I’d go here again and recommend it to other for the convenience.

3 stars rather than 2 because they’re open 24 hours and parking is plentiful. My basic expectations of a CVS are: good selection and stock of pharmacy stuff, cosmetics/​toiletries, greeting cards, and food basics, plus reasonably helpful staff. My bar is actually pretty low for the staff. This location meets these requirements. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I have no problem with self-​check. I think it’s a good option if you’re purchasing anything embarrassing or awkward, which is bound to happen from time to time in a pharmacy. That said, some of the self-​checks are pretty frequently broken or turned off.
My limited experience with the pharmacy has not been great. I filled one prescription there, and it wasn’t ready on time. They asked me if I wanted to do the auto-​refill option, and I said OK and gave them all of my information. The following month, my Rx wasn’t refilled. This was a happy coincidence because as it turned out, I didn’t need to take it anymore and had forgotten to cancel, but you can see where that would be problematic otherwise. Another time, I had emergency room discharge notes with instructions on taking an over-​the-​counter medication. The notes had contradictory wording, and I took it up the consultation desk to see what they thought. The woman who helped me barely looked at it and sort of took a guess as to the meaning. I called the doctor who wrote the notes, and they were like «Oh geez, yeah, why does it say that? That makes no sense — it’s a typo.» So they told me to do that opposite of what the pharmacist said. The issue wasn’t so much that she picked wrong, but that she really shouldn’t have picked at all and should have told me to call my doctor rather than guessing.

Pretty decent as far as CVSs go. The pharmacy is always grossly understaffed at peak times (after work, on weekends).

i love cvs !
its so easy to find things and if not the ppl working there are soooo nice and always willling to help w a smile!

I LOVE CVS. I could spend all day there. The Staff all know me. The Pharmacy is the best. Especially RPH Kahra A. Lutkiewicz. She is so helpful, jumps through hoops to help you with Insurance Problems. Also, she is so sweet, always :) ‘s
The rest of the staff — one are so polite and helpful. The one who isn’t acts like she hates her job. She never smiles and she is ALWAYS rude to me and everyone else.
But as for every other single person staff member at CVS they are awesome :)

The stock people are pretty nice.
The pharmacy is a DISASTER. Slow, unprofessional, and unresponsive. Can’t seem to locate my RX when the doctors faxes it in. Amateur hour. No wonder it’s 24 hours, as slow and as inefficient as they are there, they need it!

Good size store and it’s open 24 hours, but it has by far the WORST pharmacy counter I’ve ever had to deal with.
I can’t remember ever going into this place, giving my name and getting my prescription without there being some sort of issue. I dread going here for my monthly refill (which is automatic so even more reason to be annoyed). It’s just never a smooth process and everyone behind the counter seems so frazzled while a majority of the people waiting in line appear to be major crackheads or can’t speak English. When I walk into this place I know I am going to be annoyed within a matter of seconds.
Just now I called to make sure my automatic refill prescription was ready and was told that they’re «working on it» and won’t know if it’s ready for another hour. What the??? Can’t the computer system indicate when the prescription would be ready?

When I stopped by CVS this week, they had no staff at the registers at the front of the store so they could force customers to use the self check out.
Even though I hate self check outs, I tried to use it, but it could not process my CVS «Green Bag Tag». (A store card that gives you points for bringing reusable bags to the store, and issues $ 1 off coupons for every 4 times you use the card.)
So, I ended up walking to the back of the store (near the pharmacy) and waiting in a line to check out there.
Seriously CVS, please stop pushing the self check out option or fix the machines so it will process your promotions correctly!

This is a very large CVS and I like it ok when I am here to buy the usual drug store things or OTC meds, but I also get my prescriptions here, and that is where my complaints begin.
Whenever I have to pick up a prescription here, it is NEVER ready when they say it will be. Even if my doctor called it in over an hour before, or if I dropped it off and they said it would be ready at a certain time, when I go up to the counter to get my prescription it is NEVER ready, and I always have to wait at least an extra 15 minutes. There have been times when my doctor faxed my prescription over, and by the time I got there an hour later, they hadn’t even checked the fax machine. This isn’t a huge deal, but it is annoying, especially when I have my 2 year old son with me. It looks like there are always about 10 people working behind the pharmacy counter so I don’t know what the slow-​ness is about.

Okay, so I don’t usually write reviews of CVS, but this one near my condo is BIG!!! It has the largest selection of greeting cards I’ve ever seen at a CVS. I even took photos of it for Unilocal so you can see what I mean. There is like 3 rows of selection for greeting cards alone.
It’s open 24 hours with a pharmacy, which is great. They have pretty much everything but also a good selection of picture frames, which is rather impressive.
Yea, CVS!
