Costco Pharmacy

Prescriptions regularly take 7+ days to be ready, they often don’t answer the phone, and as noted in other reviews there’s one employee in particular that is constantly rude with patients. The first time I went to pick meds up, I got him at the register and all he said without looking up was “NAME.” So I gave him my name and when he didn’t find anything after a few seconds, I realized what was happening and told him the prescription was for my dog. He then proceeded to give me an extended lecture about how I was wasting his time (all 3 seconds worth) and the process I should already know and what he expected of me next time. Never mind that as a first time customer I had no context for what he wanted, and I was just answering what he asked of me. I noticed he was just as obnoxious to the

After more than 3 years of using Costco Pharmacy, I’ve had enough. The only reason we stayed with them was because they’re one of the few places open on Saturdays and close relatively late on weekdays. But their system and inventory management? It’s like they’re stuck in the 1980s. This week, my doctor prescribed penicillin—a basic, common antibiotic that’s been around since the 1920s—for a severe bacterial infection. I got a text saying my prescription was being prepared, so I waited in the parking lot for almost two hours. When I finally went inside to check, the front desk was dismissive and told me, without a hint of apology, that they were out of stock and I had to go speak to the pharmacist. The pharmacist couldn’t have been more unhelpful or rude. She didn’t even look at the syste

Medications are frequently out of stock. It is difficult to get orders filled in a timely manner. Do not use this pharmacy for critical prescriptions or you will devote hours of your life each month to managing the refill process. Recommended only for medications where it’s fine to miss a couple doses.

Got my vaccinations here. Everyone was nice and professional. Just don’t expect you’ll be in and out even with an appointment. It took 45 minutes for the shots to be administered as there was a wave of people picking meds. Everything was civil despite the hectic environment.

Came in to fill up a prescription. Was told that it would take about 30 minutes. I was on a time crunch but I thought 30 minutes will be okay and I can still make it to my schedule for the day. Waited for the 30 minutes, plus an extra 15 minutes because I thought I can still spare it, and I know it's better to give them extra time as they may be busy. Waited in line for about ten more (so at this point the pharmacy had AT LEAST close to an hour). Got to the front desk only to be told it's going to take another 15-20 minutes. I understand that they're busy and that's not their fault, but I wish they give themselves more time when they estimate how long these would take. If they would have told me it's going to take an hour, I would have went about my day and came back tomorrow. Instead I
