![]() ![]() I haven't seen any "walled off" CVS Stores though. This is a great time to monetize that real estate. Paying Bay Area rents for giant stores with a significant chunk of space walled off doesn't seem like a particularly efficient use of money. I have to imagine that some of the former Long's stores in California are going to be on the chopping block here, especially in the Bay Area. So glad I do NOT have to do business with them! Lousy stores and gimmicky sale items with receipts from here to Siberia.īrian Lutz wrote: ↑ November 18th, 2021, 3:31 pm Storewanderer wrote: ↑ November 18th, 2021, 10:25 am I am fortunate to not have to use CVS for pharmacy, as some people seem to think they are forced to go there and deal with that. On the pharmacy side with CVS all I see are very long lines that do not seem to move quickly. You would then get another $10 Extra Buck credited to your account as per the terms of the program. One store I was in the other night at 9 PM, the store manager was there working and offering people a $10 force printed Extra Buck on the spot if they would sign up. The employees are literally desperate to get people signed up for this. You basically let CVS record your credit card number in the store then pay them $5 a month to get a $10 Extra Buck every month and some other benefits. Lately the CVS Corporation has significant pressure on the stores to sign people up for the Carepass $5/month subscription. Their ads are also too big and the stores have to spend too much time each week putting up/taking down ad tags and do not have the staffing to do this. I say this as one of the people who goes and rolls the deals and has piles of various items from these promotions, more than I would ever need, and probably more than the donation bins need. I think CVS needs to move to a model with better pricing and ditch the Extra Bucks/coupon promotion loop they do week after week. All of the stores have at least one self checkout and it works great. The stores have improved in the past couple years on their in-stock levels and conditions, and a few really awful stores have either been closed or rebuilt. There are so many CVS Stores near me, if one store is out of something, I just go from one to the next until I find what I need. I am a frequent customer of multiple CVS Stores every week and keep rolling various promotions/coupons. The quality of the "Gold Emblem" brand seems to have declined in the past 10 years but there are still some items in that line I like on the snack side or beverage side. Otherwise, the labor CVS is saving by staffing less cashiers will be eaten up by cashiers or managers having to troubleshoot with frustrated checkout customers.ĭo you like self checkouts - at CVS or anywhere?

It's perfect for people dashing in for a couple of non-coupon items, but if it's meant for everyone to use, the prompts for couponers need to be more obvious. So overall, I think the self checkout experience at CVS is kind of a mixed bag. Had the store been better staffed, I would have asked for help, but in this case I had to pay without using my $6 in Extra Bucks that were burning a hole in my pocket. CVS SELF CHECKOUT HOW TOI also didn't see a prompt on how to scan coupons or Extra Bucks after you ring up your items. ![]() ![]() I didn't have any reusable bags with me, so I wasn't planning on using my CVS bag tag - but I didn't see a prompt for it, either. The self checkout does let you scan your Extra Care card, so that was one big worry eliminated right away. And that cashier was trying to ring people up and answer questions in the photo area at the same time. In this instance, though, I didn't have tons of options - the CVS store I was in (at the corner of Medical and Wurzbach across the street from Walgreens) had several customers waiting for the one traditional register. I feel like it's more trouble than it's worth in many cases, especially if I'm shopping with reusable bags that the bagging station doesn't recognize. Here are my thoughts on the CVS self checkout experience.įirst, a confession: I usually avoid self checkout lanes at HEB, Home Depot, etc. I had my very first experience with a CVS self checkout register yesterday! It looks like some CVS stores in San Antonio will be getting these as part of a remodeling project, and it's going to completely change how customers shop at those stores. ![]()
