I think this review is important, because so many people give CVS bad reviews, because they have to wait in line, or the medicine they need isn't available when they really need it. I understand that, and it is unfortunate. But I also understand, that long lines, and not having the medicine available, is rarely their fault. Until we "walk in someone's shoes", it's better not to judge, or criticize. I'm giving a positive review because every time I have been at the pharmacy, every staff member has treated me with kindness, professionalism, helpfulness, and friendliness. I want to give a shout out to Shreya. She is the Pharmacy associate that usually helps me at the register. She is such a sweetheart! I always look forward to having her ring me up at the register, and help me with my prescriptions. it's associates like her, as well as specific ones at the retail counter, that make going to CVS a lot easier and rewarding! I will come back with compliments for other specific associates later, on this review, because I can't remember the name of a certain associate that helps me in the retail counter actually three of them, that I would like to personally thank publicly for their kindness, professionalism and helpfulness. There's no perfect place, or perfect person, but I do know that this pharmacy that I go to on Oceanside Blvd., has wonderful staff . Every once in a while, you might get a bad "weed", in the mix of all the "lovely flowers", but that's how it is in life with families, and businesses. It's best to appreciate all the lovelies. I hope this review was helpful . Blessings to all!

This place is a fine local choice: The pharmacy staff are attentive and swift. Beware pharmacy hours are shorter than the store. And there is a decent selection of items to purchase relative to the square footage of the place. I always find a parking space in their lot. The employees are kind. I have lived in many cities, and this location is one of the best. Remember to get your receipt for the coupons, awesome deals. Last time I picked up my meds I got a string of coupons that I instantly used at the checkout counter for other purchases.

I want to give praise on the service at the cash register that Ricardo provides. He greets each customer in a very friendly way and seems genuinely happy to be at work. The other staff here is also helpful and friendly but I thought he was deserving of some compliments! The store is clean and easy to find what is needed.

I stopped at the pharmacy a few minutes before they closed today and Argelia and the lady (either the pharmacist or pharmacy tech) were both very patient and kind. Thank you so much for your help.

If this wasn't the closest CVS pharmacy to my home I would avoid this place at all cost rude pharmacy staff People usually come to the pharmacy for medication that they need so usually it's during a time of unwellness the last thing I need is for the pharmacy manager to be rude

Very rude unprofessional. People who work there are always shitty and unfriendly . Reason? No reason if you hate you're job please do not work there . I went in there and the manager he was extremely rude , acted like he didn't know what I was talking about when asking to look up my past medicine I was taking . He and two other people working there was super unprofessional to two other customers who they made them feel like they didn't know what they were asking for for their own medication !!! Another lady was super bitchy was this old lady who works at the counter you guys need new people and I will be contacting cvs corporation as well.

One star for the very nice petite young lady in glasses at the counter. She is very nice. And nobody else seems to be! They are always out of stock on medications. The person who answers the phone after a 30 minute HOLD is super RUDE. I don't know why! I'm always as nice as I can be because I've worked in Retail for 30 years! However she treats you like you're the most annoying call ever. Tells me my RX isn't covered, then doesn't tell me it's out of stock too, just a hot mess here! Not helpful, not kind. So the 2.5 star rating is generous. Too bad they don't like their jobs because they deal with a lot of sick and hurting people, and it really sad that they can't at least treat them a little kindly. You do not know what people are going through.

This should be a NEGATIVE 100 star rating . This is possibly the worst CVS pharmacy ever and it has been for years! Yeah that's right even before Covid it was bad, now it's just an excuse to be terrible. The only reason why I use them is cause it close to me. We'll that's enough of the B******** Going to use another pharmacy all together, I think it must be the regional manager that just doesn't give a crap about customer service because all the CVS pharmacies in Oceanside suck! And the Asian pharmacist is definitely Clueless, all she cares about is a paycheck! She has every excuse in the book! Rude won't answer their phones, won't acknowledge your even there to pick up a prescription that their text messages say you have one, oh my goodness. WTF happened to customer service!!! Oh and don't go to this one cause the panhandlers are always there begging for money! Get it together CVS!!!

I don't know if it's just this branch or if it is company wide. I have never been treated as horribly as I have at this retail pharmacy. Today it Alexia a 20 something person with attitude to spare. I had no idea Karen's could be do young. All I did was (with a smile and a soft tone) try to explain that this was the second time they tried to use the wrong RX code doubling the price and that waiting an extra 10 minutes once was ok. Month after month was not. She can mediately took offense and told me she didn't like my tone. Then proceeded to patronize me like I was an idiot. I politely asked that she stop speaking to me like a child and she said "respect is earned from me" I wished her a good day because and said good by. I was taught differently. That respect should be given to all. In retail respect is expected by paying patrons. Two months ago a blonde older lady was even more rude. She announced my prescription to the whole store and when I asked if that was standard protocol she said that it was. I've been going to CVS for 15 years here in Oceanside and never had an experience that was this horrible just in the last 6 months or so. I think this culture of the store clerk is always right and the patron needs to earn the stores respect if they want to see any is tragic.

CVS on Oceanside Blvd. is the worst pharmacy, they fill meds that I never ordered and when you go to call them they never answer the phone. I will be moving my prescriptions to either Wallgreens or Rite Aid.. I never new that thay only have 2 1/2 stars on their rating. I see why now THEY SUCK I WILL BE LOOKING INTO THE LAW ON THEM FILLING PRESCRIPTIONS WHEN I NEVER CALLED THEM IN . THEY DON'T EVEN DESERVE A STAR ON 0N THEIR RATING.

I got the items I needed but they should genuinely do something about the panhandlers sitting right outside. A woman with a shopping cart yelled at me to "not look so scared" as I was walking in the store. Just a nuisance & uncomfortable not knowing her intentions. I'll buy paper towels elsewhere just to avoid these interactions.

Don't go here. They take advantage of your time and leave you to wait a over 45 min to see you, even when you have an appointment. Highly don't recommend this place and I will never suggest anyone to this location.

I was literally on hold for a full hour before someone picked up just to tell me they don't know how to transfer a prescription and put me back on hold. I was on hold for another 20 minutes before I gave up on getting my prescriptions and hung up. Literally just drive to a farther CVS and you will get service faster.

The CVS pharmacy at the Oceanside Boulevard location has a serious problem with aggressive panhandlers. The panhandlers and homeless camp out in front of the store underneath the overhang and they accost customers entering and exiting the store. Tonight I was accosted by a very aggressive female panhandler. I avoided her when I went inside to pick up my prescription but was accosted and verbally abused while walking to my car. She asked me if I had change but I avoid eye contact, ignored her and walked quickly towards my car. Then she called me a "whore" across the parking lot I do not feel safe going to the store to pick up my prescriptions at this location any more. The management does NOTHING take action to ensure the safety of its customers and are too cheap to hire a security guard. No woman should have to feel coerced or pressured to give money to aggressive panhandler. Aggressive panhandlers behavior is just one step below mugging I will no longer do business at this location.
