CVS Pharmacy — Local services in Madeira Beach

So I'm pretty sure I have strep throat. Showed up here to get tested. Made an appointment. The appointment wasn't available till much later than I wanted and it was way farther away from my apartment than i wanted but i patiently waited. I drove 25 minutes one way to get there. The lady seemed very nice and she warned me of the insanely expensive price to get a strep throat test. Glad she warned me but she told me about a free health care clinic that would test me for me. She hinted that it would be smart for me to save my money and go there. So I left. I was glad she warned me. Now it's the next day and I called that free health care clinic and after having me on hold for 20 minutes they told me they don't do strep throat tests. So basically I drove all the way to cvs for nothing and I need to drive all the way back but they have no appointments open at all today. I completely wasted my appointment because she told me some...

The minute clinic here is awful. The sign on the front door says walk-ins welcome no appointment necessary. We went in 1/2 hr after they opened and the kiosk wouldn't let you sign in. The nurse practitioner came out of the exam room and we questioned her about getting seen for a skin rash and she was completely clueless about how to check in or be seen. She just kept saying what ever the computer says is the way it is. She was the only person responsible for minute clinic at this location and was completely incompetent to make an educated decision or help a customer. There was no one waiting to be seen, the store was empty and she could have fit us in to be seen ,but she said because the computer said no, she couldn't do anything. Completely worthless, I will not use minute clinic...

Cannot get a hold of anyone in the pharmacy on the phone to ask simple question of if they have a medication in stock. Recording states they are all busy with customers... this is from time they open until time they close. I am not wasting gas & money to drive to each and every CVS pharmacy asking if medication is in stock. Very poor customer service. It's hard enough to find the medication anywhere but to not answer the phone...
