I tend to have less issues with CVS. Walgreens seems to be more unorganized or have insurance issues that they just cant clear up on their own.

I’m stuck with CVS Caremark. I wish I could fill at Walgreens.

I’ve never had an issue with Walgreens.

I can’t say I’ve ever been to or in a CVS.

You would be the first. I never had my Rx filled on time there...had to get it expedited to get it filled just 2-3 days late. Always a line for forever.

FWIW my friend who is a pharma says they are beyond overworked there and it's a horrendous system

I use CVS for my one little heartburn pill, but that's mainly because my wife was already getting hers and my little girl's stuff over there. That way we get everything in one trip. Maybe I have to wait a little every now and then, but no major issues. They are across the street from each other so it doesn't really matter, but that's just where she's always gone.

If it is not narcotics then use WalMart pharmacy. The only trouble I have with them is they won’t accept a narcotic prescription.

For my narcotics I use Walgreens but they are such a nuisance, worse than a 3 year old with the “why”s. Phone calls, emails, texts and the inventory delays and the insurance delays… hate them!

CVS is better than Walgreens by me.

Always go with the mom and pop places. The place I use even has free delivery.

Sad to see all the people here who would rather take a pill than lift a weight

I have used both CVS and Walgreens the past and Walgreen's has been superior to CVS.

Walgreens in Memphis was the sorriest excuse for a business I’ve ever seen. One person helping both the inside and drive thru at the same time.

Can’t remember where I heard, told, or read this, it may have even been here, but the pharmacist at the hospital will go see his pharmacist friend at the CVS and buy a loaf of bread from the counter in the back. Just remind his friend that he is just a glorified checkout guy.

Things i need on the spot I use Walgreens because it's convenient.

Publix. I’ve never had to wait in line either inside or at the drive through.
