CVS

Pharmacist was super helpful and answered/solved my prescription issues

Prices are ok and the staff team is very kind.
Special thanks to Ms. Cydney and Mr. Ray.

I like this pharmacy. Never a problem with my prescriptions (unlike at a W. which is often times a disaster). Also a good place to get your basic essentials when quickly needed.

I purchased (1) Ice Mountain Sping Water and it was so delicious. 👌 I was however riding on a bicycle for 30 minutes from my 🏨. My 1st time in chicago and it was a blast.

As far as CVS stores go, this one is very tidy, clean and well-stocked. It is a bit on the small side, though, so don't expect it to have as much as some of the bigger ones in the suburbs. Also, what it does have in stock leans in a kind of a yuppie direction (unsurprising, given the location). Staff is courteous and there are 4 self-checkout machines to speed things up.

Cliff notes: Jacob S in the pharmacy is really awesome.

Unabridged version: I love vaccinations as much as anyone, so I'm always looking to blow some cash and get stabbed with a needle. This CVS is right by my office, making it my daily stop for energy drinks and such. Two months ago I lost Car vs Bicycle 1 and ended up in the ER. I told them I wasn't sure when my last tetanus shot was, but I thought maybe 2012. They just kind of shrugged it off like "meh, tetanus is no big deal" and didn't vaccinate me (in reality, it just probably didn't get communicated that I might need the vaccine). Although I had two fractures, I had very little road rash, so I didn't worry about it.

Fast forward to this weekend, and I lost Car vs Bicycle 2. Although this crash was minor, I have pretty nasty road rash. Since I know how to properly care for these injuries I didn't see any reason to wait in the ER and cost my insurance company another $10,000. However, due to the dirty road rash, I figured I was better safe than sorry with regards to an updated tetanus vaccine.

Shots are overblown in the minds of many, typically just a sharp pinch and some burning. I was fortunate to have Jacob S. as my pharmacist, who administered my Tdap vaccine. He was very friendly and had a solid sense of humor. I'm not sure if he's a witch doctor or something, but I didn't even feel the vaccine. There's probably a technique where you stab faster and push the plunger faster, but whatever it is he has mastered it and for all you sissies that can't stand shots, he is the guy to see.

Don't expect to be asked by less than three staff members if you need help with something. No, there is no public restroom, that answer is the same for everyone. Tip the baristas across the street and get the bathroom code at Starbucks.

Pharmacist went above and beyond what I expected to resolve an issue with getting me a bridge prescription when I was in Chicago and was running out of prescription due to a longer stay the expected. TY
