All CVS's in the District of Columbia Need to Tighten Up

There is nothing worse than City CVS's. Every time I go into one, I'm amazed at how horrible the experience is. That's just for normal purchases, we're not even talking about the complicated process of filling a prescription. I don't know exactly what it is, but I even feel dirty afterward. I only go to CVS's in the 'burbs now. Tighten Up, CVS. Retail therapy, even at a minor level, is a great thing. It's too bad you have to ruin the experience for me.

They're cramped and the employees have little interest in being helpful or hell, even cordial.

I too have tangoed with tepidity while patronizing a CVS or two – all within city limits.

In fact, I had an altercation with a fiery pharmacist named Cecelia at the Tenley Town CVS on Friday. It ended when I politely explained to her that she was “uneducated “and “probably more suited for a position at the DMV.”

She replied, “I’m calling the DEA on you!”

Hey Cecelia, still waiting for that call. Didn’t think so!

Tighten up CVS or at least tighten up Cecelia!

I was ID'd for buying night quil and all the body wash is behind glass at my local CVS. Not the shampoo ... just the body wash. They contend that hobos steal body wash ... urgh.

In any case - I agree. Tighten up CVS.

I just saw the Fiery Pharmacists in concert. :)

(Actually, I missed the F. Furnaces when they rolled through town, but if I ever start a band, I'm totally naming it "Fiery Pharmacists" or "Hobos Stealing Body Wash".)

In the Walgreens near Union Square in San Francisco, the lotion was in glass behind lock and key. WTF Walgreens. I think you lose more money from potential purchasers saying "Eh, Fuck it", then the hobos who are actually stealing the lotion in the first place. I mean, the employees are so incompetent that they probably would lie and tell you that the key is lost, so you can't have any lotion.

*than the hobos.
