Yes CVS sucks. I can't put my finger on why exactly. It just feels cheap. Like the paper bags they give me (which I have to pay for directly in California) are so thin as to be nearly unusable. They're like barely thicker than tissue paper making them not reusable.
I don't know if that's the only issue that set me off on CVS.
Walgreen annoyed me because they started replacing everything with their "NICE" brand which is about the lowest quality possible. That displaced brands of various things that were higher quality. I can't remember what I bought. Might have been cotton swabs (ie q-tips) because they stopped carrying q-tips and they were basically unusable. Plastic sticks that broke. Sticks that poked through the cotton.
I can only hope enough people care to either vote with their wallet or complain (I sent them a letter in the hopes to have some influence).
- n0us 11y agoI agree with the cheap feeling. It seems like they either don't have what I'm looking for or they have a cheaper version. When they do have what I want it always seems to be one of the items that didn't pass QC but wasn't to broken/ruined to avoid selling.
- davidf18 11y agoDuane Reade has "NICE" brand as well now. CVS is good for busy NYCers because of self-checkout. Really fast, no lines which is great. None of the other pharmacies have self-checkout and never hire enough clerks during the busy hours when people have time to go.
- untog 11y agoCVS not only feels cheap, it is cheap by comparison to the other drug stores. So I'm happy to go there.
