"Lovely store. Associates are always helpful, I enjoy finding goodies here for the holidays. I would plead with the company though to look into the DM of this store. He came in while I was there and you could tell the employees we're a little scared. He came in and stood in the middle of the front rug as to ensure everyone knew his presence and dominance. Really sad these days the people can't treat others as people with in their jobs. His ego came through the door before he did and that's a red flag, you're not better than these people Mr. DM. You're not contributing to a safe environment for the employees. Bartells, please look into the DM for this store."

"This is the worst pharmacy ever. They constantly mix up my prescriptions and can't figure out how to fill more than one at the same time. I will have one filled and they forgot about the other. This has happened 3 months in a row. I just spent 40 min on hold today to get this figured out. I would go somewhere else but it's the only place that has my medicine since there is a shortage of it. Get it together, all I get is excuses why they can't fill them at the same time. I am always on hold when I call. Today they couldn't figure out how to get back to me on the call admitted to me by Mary. I hate this place, if you can, go somewhere else, cause they love to waste your time."

"The last time my wife and I were customers there was January 21 of this year. That was my birthday. On this day, my wife asked to use the restroom and they basically denied her. Before this, I never really had an issue with the store and I used to buy headphones and pens from there. Recently, I applied to work in their pharmacy because it would be an easier commute for me and because I love helping people. Plus, I have experience and I actually care about customers and patients. So, I got an interview and was early. I get that interviews don’t guarantee employment, but the store manager who was substituting for the Pharmacy Manager told me that there were other applicants, which I also understood. Now, prior to this interview, I had called to inquire about possible employment and was initially told that they were only looking for Pharmacy Technicians. Long story short, the store manager, who I feel couldn’t run his household much less a store, gave me the run around and I basically had to pry out an answer from him, that I wasn’t selected. Not being selected isn’t the issue, how he went about it was. I write this review to simply say this: If this is how he acts towards potential employees, I am afraid to ask how he acts around not just his fellow employees, but customers and patients alike (Which are the lifeblood of any business i.e. retail.) I hope going forward that store gets a store manager with guts and honor, though I would have a better chance of seeing a pig fly."

"Everyone is very nice and I don't have any issues except for some reason the pharmacy is very bad when it comes to answering the phone. I don't know if they're just super busy or short staffed or whatever but that's a pretty basic thing to get wrong. Also when I go to pick up my script I only get half of it at a time. I'm prescribed two pills daily for 30 days but they only ever give me a bottle of 30 pills which lasts 15 days. I've brought it up multiple times and it's always the same answer of "That's all we have in stock". So why not start ordering more? I've been filling here for months and it's a battle every time I pick up my meds. Very annoying. I love the people and the store in general but it's getting ridiculous."

"Been getting my families prescription Here for years ! Great pharmacy!! Glad that rude guys is gone!! Way better store atmosphere now!!"
