The "Soviet" CVS is a medium-sized pharmacy located in South Pasadena. It features a well-organized layout with visible signs and a section dedicated to Claire's products, reflecting a partnership with the teenage accessory retailer. The store is generally tidy, clean, and feels safe thanks to security presence. Staff members are often friendly, attentive, and capable, especially the pharmacy team, which is efficient and helpful with questions. The pharmacy offers convenient services like outside drive-through pick-up, a feature appreciated since COVID-19. Customers find the store well-stocked with essentials and disposables, although some items, particularly specific products, are sometimes out of stock. The checkout process encourages the use of self-checkout lines, and cashiers are friendly and quick. The store also has a hands-on ear piercing booth, though it appears to be operational but not private. Parking is usually easy to find. However, the store's atmosphere can be somewhat depressing, with many bare shelves and a generally dull environment. Despite this, the staff's helpful attitude and the store's organization make it a reliable place for pharmacy needs and shopping.
This is the "Soviet" CVS. Many bare shelves and generally depressing atmosphere. Update: Pretty much the same on today's visit.

Always efficient. The pharmacy is great. The only drawback is it seems that the particular item I want from the shelf isn't there. Always seems to be a little under stocked.
