Bethel, CT The store is fairly new and the employees are great. The manager is helpful but only when forced. I swear when he sees me walk into the store he goes to lunch. I rarely have a coupon problem. They look them over to be sure I am buying the correct product and that they aren't expired but they never give me trouble. A few have made comments about my coupon book and they laugh when I walk up to the register with a spreadsheet.

Danbury, CT just off Main Street Friendly staff but always seriously under-staffed. I rarely even see a manager in this CVS, just one clerk and one pharmacy person. If you need to have a void done or need any kind of approval, the line starts to back up. It is usually quiet there but it is definitely under-staffed

Columbus, OH

I am fortunate to be surrounded by CVS's.

Neil Avenue (near Arena District): This is the only store I have found with a scanner. Since it is 3 minutes from my office, I tend to stop there after work to scan my card. The cashiers are OK, not rude but a little crazy. One woman gets flustered easily and actually told me that I wouldn't get ECBs back if I paid with ECBS (she must be a previous Wags employee?!?) and of course I did get the ECBs. There are much better stores but I stop here often because of the scanner.

Bethel Road and Jasonway: Nice employees, generally well-stocked. Really nice manager named Dan. I actually submitted a nice comment about him on CVS.com yesterday.

Henderson Road: Super-nice manager there, not sure of his name. He ran around on Sunday morning trying to help me find more varieties of Coke for the Coke deal, and then told me when their next shipment was coming in so I could come back for more. Store employees are friendly too.

Tremont Road: So-so store. Night employees are cool but the Sunday morning employees are a little brusque. Of course this is the closest to my home, so I tend to shop here on the weekends.

Menominee, MI--Recently expanded into a new store. It's big, clean has everything. Always something different on special every week. Stack coupons, great employees.

Atlanta, GA - I'm fortunate to have numerous CVS's within a reasonable distance. I've only been CVSing for a few weeks now, so haven't gotten to know the staff at most stores and haven't picked up on all the trends of when trucks come in, when stock sells out, etc.

#4661 Bolton Rd. - This store is the closest and I pass it usually once or twice a day so I consider it my "home" store. It's fairly new (moved from a strip center next door to a nice, new freestanding store) and well-stocked. The cashiers are friendly and don't mind my couponing. The downside to it being new is that there's not really much in the way of clearance items, and being in the city, I think the prices are a little higher than some of the suburban stores.

#2082 Peachtree Rd near Piedmont Hospital - An older, busy store, but pretty well-stocked.

#2943 Peachtree St in Midtown - Underground parking - great for rainy days! Good stock, friendly employees.

I have only recently started shopping at CVS. I used to work for Walgreen's so I was a bit loyal to them. Also, with my employee discount on top of the sales and coupons, I paid just pennies for deodorant, razors, shampoo, body wash etc. Now I go where the best deals are.

Everyone at my local CVS is really friendly

, and patient with me while I do my coupons (they take them and scan them in the order that I want them done) and they don"t mind my multiple transactions (I let others go ahead of me when need be).

Even the manager is great; and the high school age girls that work there don't mind the multiple transactions and coupons.

When the Manager checks me out and I do one transaction and an ECB prints with my receipt, he will ask me if I want to use it for my next transaction, and even tear it from the receipt for me and take the coupons in the order that I would like to use them in.

Fantastic manager and employees (with the exception of one). They are very friendly and helpful, they go out of their way to make customers happy, and bend over backwards to make right anything that goes wrong with a transaction. They are coupon friendly and know what they're doing, and they get a kick out of me having a low OOP.

Now about that one exception, I cringe when I see him behind the cash register, because he scrutinizes every coupon, and will even reject coupons that are legit, even after I try to explain to him why he should take the coupon (he just doesn't understand coupons and how they work). I can't help but wonder if he used to work at Walmart.

The store is small but clean. My biggest gripe is they don't seem to stock the shelves enough for the sales so they run out too quick and I end up having to get rainchecks, which I HATE doing. But they don't mind at all writing me out the rc's and I have no problem using the rc's there later. Actually, rc's are useful for getting your total up for a $/$$, but I just hate trying to keep up with them.

We're lucky. There are lots of CVSs in So. Cal.

I went to one the other day, got all excited because they actually had the 3-day-sale back-to-school items that I' had been to several stores trying to find in stock.)

After I checked out, I noticed I had not gotten any of the ECBs for the rainchecks.

The shift manager would not accept the rainchecks from other stores. Was not at all helpful and not even trying to be nice about it. They don't give raincheck on 3-day sales. I told her I'd been to several store on all 3 days trying to get those items. She said, "Some customers call in advance to see if their stores have the items."

No logic worked with her. I am going to call. Not to see if they have "advertized" sale items in stock, but to talk to her store manager about that situation. That's a good way to lose me and others as a customer. It was frustrating as I had just wasted a lot of time shopping and then having to wait to get my money back for those raincheck items.

Luckily, I have a great store close to where I work, with a couple of really great cashiers and a wonderful pharmacy clerk. Only problem there is that they do get sold out quickly.

Thanks for listening to me while I grumbled.

Anyway, a word of caution.... figure out how many ECBs you should be getting and take the time to check to make sure you got them. I find that I often don't get them on the rainchecks. They have to force them through.

Chardon, Ohio - I absolutely LOVE this CVS. The employees and manager are all nice. They don't mind using coupons or doing multiple transactions, and think it is neat when we spend little for large amounts of merchandise. Only once did one of the cashiers seem to be getting a little frustrated - she had to write about 10 rainchecks because they did not have much in stock. That is the one con about this store - they are NOT well stocked.

Middlefield, Ohio - I haven't shopped here much, like the Chardon store better. Employees are fine, I guess. They do not have a price checking machine however so you cannot scan your card and get extra coupons. :sad:
