This is a 24-hour CVS. I wouldn't say this is a bad area but it's certainly far from a good one. Imagine zooming in on this location from google maps, then visualize a bunch of bums and trashy losers loitering around the outside, some panhandling, others just hanging out. Strangely, I've come here at nighttime and it seems safer than during the day. I've never had a problem with the retail side except the service is a bit slow at times. Probably because the clientele are baked out of their brains or just really stupid. I've observed some not being able to stand in line correctly, asking a hundred questions when there is a line, etc. The prices are above average, unless you have the CVS card and those only work on the weekly ad items.
The pharmacy people need to work on their customer service. One time I waited over 20 minutes while the girl tech flirted with a customer. Another time they never called me back, I just stopped in a few days later and it was there. WTF?
