I go to this pharmacy when my doc has prescribed a very short term med, or one that we are trying to get the dosage right on, before we start ordering long term from my mail order pharmacy.(My company requires it after 3 refills, or outrageous costs are incurred.) Also, found out by asking today they don’t have access to my mail order, so they will not know if you have an interaction with your current meds or not, and said it was up to the doctor prescribing. The wait in the drive thru used to not be as bad as it is nowadays. I cringe when there are 3 or more cars in front of me. There were 3 in front of me today,(originally 4, but one pulled away out of line). Took well over 20 minutes at least til I could get my prescription, and I had dropped it off for fill at 8:20 am. Mind you I tried at 7:40 am, but they are not a 24 hour pharmacy anymore as of 3 weeks ago, and I planned on dropping it off, going and having blood work done, then picking it back up. I said I would be there after 12 noon when I dropped it off at 8:20 am. I saw at least 3 cars that pulled in behind me that gave up, and got out of line and pulled away. I personally left enough room to pull out of line in case my impatience got the better of me. The car that took at least 10 minutes of our time was handed a CVS bag full of items(?) Now I don’t know if the lady that handles the prescriptions at the window is new, but it seemed like it took her at least 5 minutes just to find my prescription. Then I had a question to ask the pharmacist, and she said it would be a minute, because he was on the phone, There are 2 other pharmacies within stones throw of this one that have drive through windows. Don’t know if they are 24 hour ones or not, but CVS’s new hours are not going to be conducive to working people that have to drop off scripts on their way to work early in the morning,(don’t open now til 8 am), or to those that maybe have a Late night ER visit, or a visit to an urgent care and don’t leave it til after 8 pm on a Saturday or Sunday. The pharmacist was very nice and knowledgeable. I just felt bad taking up anymore of the people’s time in line behind me to ask him my question. The wait is so bad every time I go there now, I wonder if the lady at the window is telling people to pull around that are dropping off, and telling them it will be 20 minutes to have it filled, so other people that are picking up don’t have to wait.
