I had an urgent, last minute prescription need come in today. When I called to ask when it would be ready they let me know they were super behind and short staffed so they'd try their best to get it filled today. I called an hour before close to check if maybe they had the time to fill it during the day and they did! Went to pick it up and I could tell they seemed overwhelmed but were still very helpful and nice! I really appreciated their help getting my med even though they were so busy!

Have noticed they are getting a little better at not being rude. When first went here this year there was a counter person that really didn’t care about customers questions. Like why a prescription fill would be red dotted on their app as Fill Canceled? Pharmacy assistant/counter employee ended up denying it ever was in that status. Had the app screen up so he could see the communicated information for himself that the prescription was indeed canceled. This resulted in a frustrating response from him staring down during checkout. Acting like seeing the cell screen would be looking at the sun too long and even more devastating to his ego confirming he might actually be wrong. The interaction was concluded by him waving his arms around and saying Byeeee at the end of the transaction. Almost switched pharmacies at that point. Like if customer interaction working in a pharmacy is that stressful then find a different career.. Decided to see if things might improve as maybe not everyone would act that way.
Update: This pharmacy would probably be 5 stars if it wasn’t for this same counter guy with black hair. He basically treats customers like they don’t know what they are talking about doesn’t listen well when people are communicating to him so he jumps to his own conclusions. It’s happened twice now with this same employee. All the others are actually helpful and courteous and listen well with customers interactions and communication..
Do notice most days a different short 5’4 balding man that usually hides behind the tall shelf acts like he doesn’t really want to be there for whatever reason. On the other end of the spectrum the lead pharmacist (sort of looks like a younger Jeff Bridges) makes up for the short comings of others. He is usually nice and helpful even over the phone as can distinguish his voice. Although if you don’t line up correctly down the right isle he did freak out a lil in front of everyone.
Update: short guy - He’s actually a really nice guy named Wade. He gave me a vaccination and I can tell he really does care about the people who go there. So all but one employee have been helpful and courteous except the one on multiple encounters.
Sometimes this pharmacy as I’m sure all others do have to order pills in from their sources they can’t fill with your pickup. So some fills take longer than a few days. Their environment maybe stressful filling hundreds+ of prescriptions everyday balancing phone calls -and getting though a line of customers in a tight environment. So believable that’s the majority of the issues. Personally feel I’m being generous with 4stars as realistically they are more in the 3range but always think things can get better and grow with the right team.
Update: they are 4stars now things have gotten better just try not to get the Latin counter guy otherwise you will be treated like you don’t know what you’re talking about with your own prescriptions smh
