CVS — Local services in Boston

It's a CVS. I go here literally every night before work and sometimes in the morning after I get out. Today the refrigerators are locked and it means you have to wait for someone to unlock it for you. The makeup remover wipes are locked so you have to wait for someone to get it for you. Every single thing I want and regularly purchase is locked and you have to wait for someone to get it for you. This CVS is on a major route of foot ravel between downtown and south station and thus people with luggage are frequently in there and yet still people in there don't know how to make space when you're trying to move down the aisle with a bag.

Sandwiches are like $7 here and it makes me depressed whenever I see it, because I want one but I'm not gonna spend $7 on a sandwich.

The staff are really cool, they're good folks. I'm sure the spot is chaotic to work at and they do an awesome job. The other shoppers are frustrating when you're trying to maneuver around them and have somewhere to be lol.

Someone recently changed their self checkout firmware on the pinpads so now you get asked for a pin regardless if you use credit and it's sort of annoying lol

The CVS is right next to the St Francis shelter, so there's usually security that hangs out and walks around and you'll frequently find yourself followed if they don't recognize you. They recognize me because I told one of them he couldn't park in my alleyway once. 😇 The Chinatown stop is right next to the entrance, so there's usually a crowd of people who are unhoused or making use of the shelter. They're okay and 99.9% of the time aren't going to bother you.

Boylston street side entrance is closed in order to better prevent people stealing.

If you perform the ritual of egress under the full moon facing west from the entrance, it opens up a secret cavern beneath the CVS that you can use to find...

whenever I go to CVS or Walgreens or possibly somewhere downtown you always want to have a snack or some kind of dinner for homeless and Street people! You want to show them that you care! You've been in their position, so you approach them with compassion! I wish I had a team of people to help me feed them! But as for CVS They have friendly staff to help you! Their manager is really nice too and very helpful! They like Walgreens have really good product buys at times! Who would have ever Thought that you could go to CVS and get great box cereal buys? And some of them are better than the huge grocery stores! and they have pop on sale a lot Pepsi mountain dew Coke you name it! I love going here just for the friendliness of the staff and employees! I highly recommend this as one of the top CVS on that side of town! I really love that CVS now gives you coupons on your receipt when you shop instead of waiting quarterly to give you your coupon money updates they now give them to you every time you shop and this is money for your next time at CVS that you can use and you can let it build up until its expiration date you really want to get some things and you don't have to pay full price with them because you've got these coupons to...

My dad was at the CVS pharmacy. He was originally served by a young guy who I believe is a new employee but afterwards, a Chinese lady named Karen (not sure if I spelled her name right), the other pharmacist co-worker, came over. My dad asked her how long the wait time will be because of his leg problems he can’t stand for long periods of time. Karen said to my dad if you can’t wait then you can go to somewhere else and she’s the one who’s in charge at the pharmacy. My mom heard what she said to my dad and was obviously very upset because is that how the pharmacist treat the elderly!? My mom was trying to argue with Karen, but Karen refused to fill the prescriptions for my dad. Does the pharmacist have the power to refuse to fill my dad’s prescriptions just because of his medical disability of not being able to stand for a long time!? What happened if my dad’s condition becomes life threatening because Karen refused to fill my dad’s prescriptions that he needs to take on a daily basis? Will she be responding to...
