CVS pharmacy

The pharmacy staff here really impressed me recently by going far and beyond what I would expect from a chain.
When a prescription of mine was no longer being manufactured and they ran out in the facility, they tracked down an existing dosage at another location, and put it on hold for me. All before everything was 100% in check for me to be able to pick it up.
Thanks CVS!

I like this store, close to my house, nice people, they’re always happy whenever I’m in there.

If I could give them less than 1 star, I would. They’re just a terrible pharmacy. They mess up my prescription every single time — and they are not even polite about it. Save yourself the hassle/​headache and go elsewhere.

Had several problems with one pharmacist who plays God. I would be bereft not to mention Beth who remembers me by name and always has a smile no matter how busy she is.

This pharmacy has the most incompetent and rude people ever. I’d rather go to the DMV a million times before coming here again.

This one has a good location, doesnt take expired store coupons, has a decent inventory, closes at 10:00pm, cant really think of much else to say about it.

I was in town visiting family and needed to have my daughters’ meds refilled so I transferred to this location. They informed me over the phone that it would be 6 hours at the earliest that my request would be filled as they were very busy. I arrived an hour before closing I arrived to pick up the prescription. The Pharmacist asked the purpose of my giving this particular medication to my 7 year old daughter, I explained the reason to which he replied «Umm yeah that is not what this medication is supposed to be used for so I am afraid I cannot give this to you.» I explained that my daughter is living with Rett syndrome and that her Neurologist had prescribed this for her months ago and we had been filling our ‘scrips at CVS in Sherman Oaks for months. He attempted to correct me «I believe you mean Tourette’s, ma’am.» I then explained that no, I did not mean TOURett’s and my daughter had been in fact diagnosed with RETT syndrome — he began «correct» me over and over again that because he had never heard of Rett syndrome I was mistaken and obviously I meant TOURett’s and there was no way he would be giving me the medication because HE did not believe it was being used properly. EXCUSE ME, but since when do Pharmacists argue with parents over their child/ren’s diagnosis? And SINCE WHEN do they question and refuse to fill a prescription that was ordered by a Medical DOCTOR!!! Needless to say this turned in to a screaming match. Once he looked up Rett Syndrome on his «smartphone» and looked up how this medication was used for children living with Rett syndrome he «decided» to go ahead and give me the medication. It took me nearly an HOUR of fighting and arguing while my child was at home desperately needing her medication. Pharmacist Hameed (not sure of the spelling of his name but that is his name) was awful and perhaps needs better training! The Store Manager was not interested in hearing how awful I was treated in his store. I am NOT a competitor. I am a mother of a severly disabled child that desperately needed her medication and was subjected to verbal abuse by this person

for being close to State st, this one is good to go in and out real quick (because its usually dead inside) as oppose to the one on State St. this store has plenty of parking for being in Santa Barbara,(idk what the 1^st reviewer was talking about)
but like any CVS the prices where high

Convenient location, but the store is a lot smaller than others within Santa Barbara County, and there are tons of homeless around this one as well as a tiny parking lot which makes it frustrating. This is a store and pharmacy and they have the basics rather than a wider selection of product. The employees always seem bored and tired. I will not continue to come here if I can go somewhere else, CVS in Carpinteria. it is totally worth it.

Someone please take over this place! By far the most depressing, poorly managed CVS I have ever been in. I have had so many bad experiences with the front store staff that I finally called customer service at corporate. The store manager called me back to say he was sorry, but nothing changes. Maria, the clerk behind the counter was so disengaged, had a foul look on her face and was playing with the inventory counter while 4 people waited in line. Every employee I have encountered has been almost rude, the place is dark, the wait in line is always painful, and I am switching my prescriptions across town so I never have to go in there again.

If this wasn’t the most convenient drugstore between the bus stop and my house, I would never come here. Somehow, it manages to be the most depressing drugstore I’ve ever been to, and the customer service… ugh. Today, I came in to get some dish soap with the added hope of finding a boxed set of holiday cards. The soap was easy enough, though the selection was pretty sad, and then I thought I got super lucky with the cards when I saw a «All Hallmark boxed cards 50% off» sign directly in front of the cash register. I meticulously picked out the last box of Charles Shulz Peanuts cards, thrilled they were half off.
When the cashier rang them up, they rang up for full price. The exchange that followed between myself and the cashier went like this:
Me: Hmm… aren’t those supposed to be half off? There’s a sign right there. (Pointing very helpfully to the sign 50 ft in front of her)
Cashier: I don’t know. It rang up as that.
Me: Um… really? The sign is right there. (Pointing to the sign, that she could clearly see, again)
Cashier: Do you want me to ask my manager? (Not without a hint of attitude)
**At this point a minute or so had passed, and a line was forming behind me.**
Me: You know, that’s fine. I don’t want them. But you should check that out in case this happens again to someone else.
Cashier: (With even more attitude) Like I said, do you want me to ask my manager?
Me: (Looking at the line behind me) No, I don’t. I’ll just take my soap.
I paid my $ 1.07 for the soap and left without the cards, and feeling more than a little irritated. I mean, I know the economy is depressed. I’m a grad student. I’m poor. I get it. Jobs are hard to come by. Is it too hard to ask that people with jobs do them decently without antagonizing the customer? Especially when it will take *a second* to look up and see the frigging sign in front of your face and maybe apologize for the stupidity of the computer. Really, that’s all I ask.
