Both major pharmacy chains treat their employees like garbage which is why it is so understaffed; today it took almost half an hour to pick up a single prescription with 2 people in front of me. The people ahead of me were delaying the line unnecessarily with confusion over their own insurance, but we were stuck behind them because there was only 1tech working the counter.
The main store is OK, some of the employees are rude but I've seldom been stuck in a line to check out.
Thankfully I don't fill my own scripts here and Safeway Pharmacy has been a lot more reliable than either CVS or Walgreens.
This review is specifically for the photo booth. I had to click a photo for a US visa and the one they clicked wasn't accepted in US VAC in India. So the purpose of the photo wasn't fulfilled. The photo must have white background whereas the one I received had an off-white (blueish) background. The office said it is valid for a US passport but not a US visa.
CVS gives a checklist along with the photos which says that all criteria are fulfilled but this one isn't. Perhaps this is a detail that the customer should know and not CVS folks.
Also, the photo clarity wasn't nice. This was due to the inexperienced person at the store. I believe some minor training is needed to get clear photos if you're charging $16 for it. The end result was slightly blurry which I didn't like. It did pass the checks but it's clearly not up to the mark. They showed the photo before printing it but refused to retake it. We hoped for better clarity while printing but that wasn't the case. The person suggested that I go to another CVS store which wasn't possible due to time issues. It wasn't any hardware issue but just human errors.
