Costco Pharmacy

Had been waiting 30 minutes to pick up 2 prescriptions. Was supposed to take 25 minutes. Tanya the pharmacist stopped filling my prescriptions to answer a question from a walk up customer. That delayed another 20 minutes. Then she spent about two minutes finishing and checking my prescriptions . I think she should have completed what she was doing and had the other customer wait 2 minutes instead if me 20 minutes.

Customer service was not at its best today. Arrived at pharmacy 1:30 to find it closed with sign indicating reopening at 2:30. Inquired at front and was informed they were short staffed and that the pharmacist was taking lunch break. Waited until reopening since I had prescription to pick up and found 2 staff present which lead to me thinking if there were 2 staff present could one staff have taken break while the other maintained pharmacy opened. I'm suspecting there is some HR rule mandating that pharmacy cannot be open with single staffing. This is my motivator for the 3 star rating versus the 5 that I have historically experienced.

The employees are usually pretty great and try to help if there are problems with insurance or anything. There is only one employee that’s kinda grumpy...

Located inside the warehouse store, there is often a wait in line, but perscriptions get filled pretty promptly.nnOne cautionary note: pharmacy staff can only ring up pharmacy-type items, no groceries or other categories. Hair care and vitamins yes, bread and clothing nope.

Prices are extremely low. Was getting one of my medications at Walmart for $135 a month. Get the same message for $23 dollars for 3 months. Love costco
