CVS Pharmacy

Note: This location is closed. It was convenient and came in handy for needed personal items. The staff was excellent. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t expect a fully stocked store given that items on sale may not be readily available and the hordes of Govt employees that frequent it. To those who trashed it in your reviews, so there! Now you have no Drug store in L’Enfant. Complain about that –but not on Unilocal

This is the skankiest, dumpiest store I have ever been in. Sadly, only one close to my work otherwise I’d never go back. The shelves are never stocked, there are empty boxes sitting around throughout the store, and even though the store opens at 7 a.m., no one is checking anyone out until 7:15 earliest. By then, there are 8 – 10 people in line, being waited on by one person, who also runs the photo lab and answers the phone. Any other time of the day, same thing, except even more people in line. I often see as many as 15 people in line, one person checking, the rest standing around doing nothing — and still, the shelves are empty and boxes sitting everywhere. It’s a shame because they are the only drugstore within reasonable distance to several large office buildings with 100s of people working in them. I’ve learned to avoid the store at all costs, and if I really must go to this one, make sure you’ve at least 20 minutes to wait and just because they’ve had wanted you needed before, doesn’t mean they will still have it – i.e. something so simply as dt. coke in the fridge!
