Costco Pharmacy — Attraction in Teterboro

I yearn for the old type of mom and pop drug store. These days going to a chain is almost a must. Costco pharmacy in Teterboro is on the low end of good. They always have the most common meds in stock. But if you're getting anything expensive they never have it. Obviously they don't want to keep expensive medication on the shelf hoping some doctor with prescribe it. My Dr sends over a prescription at 10 AM. At 4:30 PM I receive a text telling me that they are out of stock, and must order it. I call, and am told that they get their order anytime after 3 PM. the next day. The next day I receive a text at 6:30 PM tellng me that the prescription is ready. They close the dept. at 7 PM....so I wait another day and pick it up on the 3rd day. This is not something that rarely happens. This happens each time, and it's the same medication month after month. The lines at the pharmacy are very long. People wait on line to pick up....several people in the pharmacy see this, but nobody walks up to help the customers. Then finally a women with food in her mouth starts helping people. Just my opinion, but a pharmacy should look professional. However the pharmacist himself never wears a white coat with a name badge, at times he looks like he's dressed to go to the gym. He could be confused with the janitor....not professional. I think it's a state law that the pharmacist must have his name on him so people can read it. The system they have to pay is antiquated. it's a waste of time and ridiculous. The hours of the pharmacy are not good. They close at 7 PM during the week, they aren't open at all on Sundays. They should be open until at least 1 PM, like other chain pharmacy's. Everyone should do themselves a favor...go next door to Walmart. The pharmacy their is must more professional. The staff is much more attentive. The medication is usually on a blister card assuring the patient that it is clean and sterile. They always have everything in stock. And they...

Pharmacy offers a convenient renewal of your prescription on the phone but they don't contact you to let you know when your medication is back ordered so you show up for the pick up time and are told it's back ordered. I'm picking up seizure pills and this could be life or death if I don't know that I can secure my medication on time. I understand I can't refill too soon but by the time I can refill, then there's a back order of 15 days for the medication, I'll be out of medication and risk seizures without any notice from the pharmacy so I can find a possible alternative means to obtain my medication. Sure it may be a couple bucks cheaper than your normal pharmacy but I'd save your time and go to your local pharmacy. Will not be...

Humans don't know how to walk with carts nor do employees function well. A sign marked a product (@ the front which is obviously excess inventory they want to clear--so to world have thought albiet incorrectly that they do diligent work when they placed the product at the front of the store) incorrectly at $6.99 but their systems charged me $7.99. I spent nearly thirty minutes on principle (not the dollar) so this doesn't happen to another customer but their employee gave me know indication it would be marketed correctly. Without a guarantee they'll fix the mistake my time and patience were exploited and used in vain. So much for trying to look out for corporations passing on their...
