CVS Pharmacy

This is the worst CVS I have ever been to. My brother ran a CVS in New England for 5 years and I always attempted to stay loyal for his benefit. I’ve also learned through his efforts what the standards should be for a CVS store, and retail management in general (he has over 12 years of retail management experience).
Things I Like:
— Close to my house
— The building is never on fire
— There’s a nice Rite-​Aid across the street
Things I Didn’t Like:
— They literally NEVER HAVE THE PRESCRIPTION I NEED. I’m not being a soggy fart, I went there for cough syrup with codeine and they didn’t have any. Isn’t that in the top 10 of «Drugstore Medications», right after aspirin and blood pressure pills? Needless to say, they didn’t have the lesser frequent and more important medications I needed either.
— Crap scattered everywhere, crates half open, half filled, with inventory meant to be stocked, but neglected midway for reasons unknown. The result? The store becomes an impressive obstacle course for the fleet of foot,
— Parking lot is a pain to get to, and get out of. One access point is only accessible from one side of the road, while the other access point requires you to drive through a diagonally slanted parking format where cars like to pop out to say hello from creative angles.
They need to stock up their medical inventory, and get the managers to address the cleanliness of the store. If they did this, I would improve my rating by a few stars.
In conclusion, the place doesn’t do its job and it’s been this way for the 7 years I’ve lived in the area. When it comes to prescription drugs, you’d have a better chance of getting them when you needed them if you walked to Canada for generic substitutions. As a matter of fact, Dr. Unilocal here is going to prescribe a dose of «Improva» (hot new drug that helps managers manage). Instructions: Swallow the entire bottle immediately.
