CVS Pharmacy

The places always are made up to be great or the worst because of many experiences in that place. I went in on a evening hour to pick up some meds because it just so happens to be next to stapes where I made my first stop. The store itself was confusing like I was in a movie filled with mazes to find the meds. I kept getting lost. And I’m intending that was a sole reason to interact with employees. Which was also a bit hard to find being this was and looked like a busy store, Understaffed? Maybe. Once found the interaction wasn’t strong or led to hold up well. The employee was over worked and busy himself. Walked me to the correct area and rushed to leave. Couldn’t find the meds there either. I was left alone to look around myself where I was able to find it. The kids meds are in one location the adult meds are at another location and there were other remedies not next to the kids med but solely at another location, next to toys? I used the self checkout to avoid any other employees and rushed out with out intending to buy anything else.

One of these CVS’s is not like the other. First off, automated machines mostly instead of real people. I hate machines. At least people work with you. The machines are a hassle.
Secondly I found out this CVS prices are slightly higher than the CVS further down on Forest Avenue. Call me crazy but I thought all CVS’s in the local vicinity would charge the same prices. Why would you charge .20-​$ 1.00 more on a body lotion or medicine when someone could just go 10 blocks down to the other CVS? Loca!
Staff wise, the few I met, are really nice and the store is clean and organized so there’s that.

This is my fave CVS location in Staten Island. MUCH better than Victory Blvd. Staff are really nice and helpful. I’m obsessed with my extra care card and extra bucks! You can get such good deals! Sometimes I just come here for a relaxing afternoon of perusing, especially the nail polish.

This is a pretty good CVS. It is oddly located next/​behind a smaller Walgreens. I like to come in here because it’s big and has a large card selection. The staff is always helpful even though all CVS stores have you do self checkout now which I hate when I have a bunch of things. Make sure to use your CVS card because there’s always coupons and money off!
