CVS Pharmacy

This was a great little locale we used several times.
Our room at the Indigo was a bit on the chilly side and I neglected to pack the hating pad? CVS. I brought every extra accessory I would need (and a few I didn’t) but somehow managed not to bring bobby pins? CVS.
Water once we got a fridge and snackies just in case? CVS.
It was so easy to get to from Hotel Indigo (and Salomar if not a bit more of a hike) that this location — even though it had mostly self checkout — was fairly valuable to us during our trip! It was a little bit loitery outside, but it was stocked well and definitely met our needs with warm and friendly service.
Thanks CVS!

Huge CVS. More self check out counters than cashiers. Between that and the lack of free parking, I’m at 3 stars. Also, they really should have a second entrance besides the one and only entrance on Market.

This CVS is conveniently located, not to far from the convention center and hotels, and is crammed full of anything you could want or need during your stay. The cashier was super nice and even took the time to point out some items I had that were on sale with a coupon.

We went to the ball park and parked next to here so we went in to get all of our snacks. It’s a very small CVS, but still had all we needed. Bottled water, lemonade, chip variety, and some protein drinks from the pharmacy section for breakfast. The protein drinks are pricier then I recall. We had a 30% coupon so that helped and we came out with a really good deal.

We stopped in here to pick up some supplies for the GF while walking around the Gaslamp District. Conveniently located, it’s a CVS. They have a wide variety of things and it’s pretty easy to find what you need.

Rude. I’ll go out of my way to shop somewhere else.

The cashier was incredibly rude! I just stopped in for some batteries on my lunch break. He left the cash register to help someone when I was next in line, which was fine. In the mean time, I counted out the exact change and set it on the counter. When he came back to do the transaction, he threw a fit because I didn’t pick the change up and put it in his hand. I’m sorry, is this a joke? I would understand if he had his and out and I put it on the counter anyways, or if I paid in quarters or something, but seriously, his job is literally to take my money and put it in the register and he couldn’t manage that without being a complete jerk. He should not be employed.

This store and customer service is not even worth a 1. But there is no rating for that

Come on CVS, what’s going on? Less then 3 stars, are you going to do anything about it? I live nearby and I come there often, I like shopping there but your process are crazy, everything is very expensive And every time I come in there is a big line, your self checkout is down, Plz, I like coming there but make it convenience to your customers… Until next time

Always great to have a 24hrs pharmacy in the downtown, I loved the fact that there are lots of things to buy even when you don’t have the necessity to.

This review is to show respect to Isaac S. A CVS employee at the downtown Market Street store. He rocks! It’s so rare to find retail employees who genuinely seem to like or love what they do and this guy was behind the counter ringing people up and finding some way to compliment or go the extra mile with every customer. He helped me use a coupon on my phone that kept showing an error. He went out of his way to allow me to use the coupon by asking his manager to override the error. He winked at me and said, «you just have to ask… some employees don’t know that!» Very sweet! CVS you better treat him right because you definitely don’t want to lose him!

Called in a prescription a day earl and they said it would be ready in a few hours. I came by the next day and after waiting in line for 15 minutes was told it wasn’t ready yet. I heard the same thing happen to the women behind me. This place needs to hire more employees and get their shit together.

This is one of my favorite CVS stores to buy makeup from. I find that everything is well stocked and organized. Most importantly the customers seem to respect the products and I rarely find something that has been opened and used. There’s nothing worse than finding something that you like and then seeing that it has been used!
They have all the brands that every CVS carries like L’Oreal, Maybelline, Rimmel, Physicians Formula, Milani, and Covergirl. CVS is also the only place that you can find Salma Hayek’s makeup/​skincare brand Nuance.
This CVS is large, clean, and they have really friendly employees. Also make sure you have their loyalty card because you can earn CVS extra bucks really easily and you can use them on your next transaction. What I usually do when I get products that earn me extra bucks is split my transaction into two, that way I can use the extra bucks on the spot. This CVS also has a self check-​out section which is great for those of us who aren’t very social (like myself).

The auto checkout lines are ambiguous. There’s no distinct line to join, so getting cutoff happens frequently. It’s also
Obnoxious that there aren’t more employees working and everything is automated.
Otherwise, had the stuff I needed, so it was sufficient.

Wakeing up extra early in the morning craving sweets… Saw a lot of different stores but I woke up to early and everything wasn’t even opened yet… Expect for cvs! So why not go in and purchases some candies and water…
While I was here I have noticed that CVS employees do not remove the sale price tags from the shelf after the item is no longer on sale…
For example I purchased some candies with a tag on the shelf that said it was on sale… The scanner rang it up at the regular price…
I mentioned to the cashier that the price tag on the shelf said the item was on sale at a much lower price…
The cashier replied that was a sale from last week and the sale was over a week ago…
This appears to be a problem throughout the store…

Very convenient store with just about everything you might need. Staff is not very helpful but that is fairly standard for these types of stores. The self check outs are fast and easy.

Like all CVS pharmacies, its a great place to see crazy people in line. This time it was a shirtless homeless guy buying flavored water. The cap was a tad open because he kept squirting himself with the water. He was also mumbling something. When he went to pay, he poured water on the dollar in his hand. There is just something about CVS that all the crazies love, and that why it was a place in my heart. When i go mentally insane, I will definitely spend more time at my nearest CVS

Have been to this location when in a pinch. As with most stores downtown you always have to step over homeless person. Of course that is not the store’s fault that is just the location of a place. This Store usually has an odd odor to it and sticky floors. I only come here out of convenience only.
The store is always well stocked and the staff is somewhat friendly. I have only use the pharmacy portion one time and the pharmacist was friendly and my prescription was filled promptly.

CVS are very convenient especially if you are in Gaslamp and lets say want to have a soda and some snacks at 1 am after attending some event. Or headache pills, or a new lipstick just because. But stay away of this one if you are not into homeless people outside at the door (full of them), employees who look tired of dealing with them, and shoppers that look like homeless too in need of the same goodies as you and I. It is just too uncomfortable and you won’t feel safe if you are a woman, alone and not pitbull in hand. Sorry to say, but the homeless issue in Downtown is rampant and this CVS is one of their favorite spots to hang out. I don’t have the solution and I guess the only one is to avoid going if you don’t want to face this reality unless you really need to shop there. That said, this store is huge, well lit and even have some food!

my one stop whenever I am drunk downtown and desire that pack of cigarettes that you shouldn’t smoke, but you do it anyways. Its conveniently located in the Gaslamp area, and my service there is always great! Whenever there is a line, a sales associate opens a new lane and im in-​and-​out in a few minutes. CVS Pharmacy’s are rarely different, but service makes the score. Keep it up guys, its appreciated!

Came in here to find some shampoo, was easily found.
Good Things
— Person at check out was really friendly and make a good joke!
— Staff helped us find what we were looking for, he knew exactly where it was!
— Easily located
Not So Good…
— It’s a bit messy and unorganized.
— There isn’t a clear place for where you’re supposed to stand in line
— The homeless people kind of scare you off :[ But that is not their fault!
A-​OK in my book!
