I Would Have Given them a -1000. Terrible Company. Terrible Experienc.
Who thought reducing human staff and asking people to leave voicemails for callbacks was a great business model for a pharmacy? I need immediate information, not an obstacle course. I refuse to reward a corporation that is less concerned with providing efficient, helpful service and more concerned with cutting labor costs to increase profit. My medications are essential for my health and must be taken daily, so I can't play waiting games. I was going to transfer my medications to CVS because it is closer to my house. It was such a ridiculously laborious experience that I realized that CVS I knew over a decade ago is gone. Do they expect elderly people to jump through hoops for basic care? I am not elderly, and I was fed up, so what if a 78-year-old was stuck with this? Who has the time to wait around for a callback? What if someone is in public? Are they supposed to disclose personal information to everyone within earshot? That's a recipe for phone tag, and as I said, this is my medication, not something frivolous. I refuse to play their games. CVS will never get a penny from me, and I am going to complain about it as much as I can to as many people as I can because this is a travesty. This is an example of atrocious behavior and indifference to their customers. They want my money, but they don't want to earn it. This horrific experience cost me hours of wasted time when I have 100 other things to do. And I still didn't get my medication that I need. The very purposely limiting voice prompt menu was clearly designed to funnel me away from what I really needed, actual human assistance. I then wasted more time and called the CVS main number, and then they called the location to tell them what I could have told them myself for 1/20th of the time I spent trying to get 1 medication. The agent claimed they were cutting down on wait times with this system. Hogwash. I know they are told to say that, which means they get these complaints so much that corporate had to come up with something for the agents to say in response. I have an idea. Change your system. I told the agent to cancel the transfer, told her why, transferred my medications elsewhere, and then came here to warn people. Do not deal with this abusive treatment when there are other pharmacies out there willing to hire humans to answer the phone. My new pharmacy is great. I called, they picked up, they took care of my issues, texted me, and I will pick up my medication in the morning. It took less than 5 minutes.
