r/CVS

This is exactly how it’s been with the other bonuses we have received in the past 10 years.

Why do customers stand in front of the photo area when needing to pickup photo? We can’t ring you up there!!!

Now your turn, what is something customers do that has you thinking why??

Has this happened to anyone else? People are so rude when I ask for help and god forbid I ask the pharmacist, they are so mean sometimes!

Did any of you guys see the bonus on your payslip? I didn’t see it in mine.

does anyone know why and how to fix the pos receipt printer to cut? it prints fine but then won’t cut so i have to rip it

So I was just promoted to OPs Manager after being a shift manager and working for a little over a year at the store. What are the duties and expectations they are going to expect from me?? I was taught IAR’s, scheduling, dcars and a few other things. What else is expected?? Tyia

It all started when I tried to hold Joseph Rivera, our store manager, accountable for not coming to work. I told all the appropriate people until, I'm assuming, they advised him to write me up continuously in order to terminate me. Keep in mind, I had to talk Joseph into holding employees accountable for arriving late or calling off prior to all of this. (He never had a backbone unless it came to me since now I was expecting HIM to come to work more often). So in order to shut me up, Robert Greenlee must've convinced him to get rid of me. I wrote in to hr about that too. But I was never taken seriously. Not to mention, they would never hold one of their own accountable. Robert Greenlee was using Joseph to work on other stores and so he never had time for his own store. Store Managers are supposed to devote 45 hours to their own store every week. And Joseph was barely doing 20. In a sense, we had no store manager, or VERY LITTLE OF HIM, for months on end. Maybe a year or more he just did whatever he wanted to do. Showed up whenever he saw fit. And since I was complaining about that, I had to go.

And so it started. Joseph and I going back and forth. Him writing me up over and over. And me writing to hr about his absences and the fact that he keeps writing me up in retaliation. I have so many complaints where they found all my evidence to be insufficient in order to invalidate my claims. Where he was writing me up, he wasn't writing anyone else up. I was not perfect in my attendance but I damn sure wasn't the worst and the worst wasn't getting wrote up. Not until I made it known that he was picking on me. Then and only then did he begin to write other people up. But still not as much as me. And so because I thought this would lead to my firing I waited on Joseph to fuck up. And although, even though he fucked up plenty of times, I didn't report him because I was still believing we were friends. But he kept writing me up. The one who worked harder than most people on his team. The one who would come in when people called off. The one who would do doubles so he could go have drinks with his "colleagues"... I did not know how close I was to termination and so I told myself this was the last time. We were not friends, obviously.

So one day a thief came into the store and Joseph decided to body slam her right on camera. He literally thought he could do anything with no repercussions while I'm getting wrote up for shit like insubordination or closing the store without his permission because we had no coverage. He's playing with my record, because I've never been wrote up at ANY job before this, for trivial ass reasons and here he is putting hands on customers damn near everyday. Not to mention, Robert Greenlee knew. He knew he chased these thieves out the store and down to the red line. That's how you know they could do what they wanted but we couldn't.

So when he did that, I'll admit I was being vindictive... but I called it in. Cuz if I'm leaving CVS, you are too. Tf

Long story short, he got fired and afterwards Robert Greenlee and Sarah Lien thought that they would passive aggressively get me to quit (which I ended up doing in the end). Robert came to the store to personally tell me i couldn't take video or pictures there because I recorded the incident of Joseph on my phone in case they said there was no record, which he definitely tried to do. That right there was biased because they pick and choose when people can take pics and video. Sarah eventually became the store manager to my store once Joseph was fired and she thought I was going to be scared of her because she gets her way with Robert Greenlee. She made jokes to me where I was wasting my time contacting hr because they would always be on her side. She tried to write me up for not knowing something talking about I should've called people I didn't even know to find out how to do it. Ridiculous. Then she got Robert Roper to get involved and sit in on my write up. This man told me on the phone that she was wrong for doing what she did but when he got in her face he got scared and agreed with everything she said. She literally flirts her way into getting what she wants. If you saw her and spoke with her, you'd know what I mean. That's why Joseph would have rather been at her store helping her than ours.

And so they're you have it. They are all crooks. That's my story. Have a good day.

Oh and Mr. Patel, the regional manager, was in on it too.

Bro, I was working in pharmacy today, and our SM was counting drawers and one of the pharmacy drawers that I only did cash one ONCE was $25 over. I remembered the transaction vividly because the guy gave me $100 and I counted out $80 in change. I FUCKING REMEMBER COUNTING IT. I even remember giving three 20s and two 10s. But, there was also some coins, and the way I do it, is I give them their coins, then count out the paper bills and give it to them.

So, on the camera, SM saw me giving the coins, but my body was covering up me counting the bills, so, it looked like I was giving him all the money when handing him the coins and you couldn't see me counting the bills.

So, I get called to the office (she was doing drawers before we closed because she had to leave when we closed but she also had to train someone to close that night), and THE FUCKING BINDER WAS OPEN. Pen out, she was FUCKING READY to write me up. I had to point to the moment I was counting, I had to plead my case for a solid 5 minutes, I was BEGGING her to believe me.

Luckily, pharmacist on duty vouched for me, not to mention I haven't made a cash error in years. But, JESUS CHRIST, on the cameras it looked like I didn't count it, she could've confidently written me up and I wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. The Lord was on my side today.

So apparently they just fucking took away paying for mileage unless the round trip is 120+ miles.? Are we fucking serious rn? I hate this cheap ass company. They can say goodbye to me constantly bailing them out of bad situations at other stores now because I’m not driving 100 miles round trip for free. I am LIVIDDDD.
Update: the official current policy is not in compliance with this, but they are drafting up a new one that will be posted next week.

Im sure that's how corporate feels about front store employees. Have 1 shift on vacation another one just went on emergency LOA. I closed alone Sunday, closing alone on Thursday, dont have a single day off this week, and am working 60 hrs. To make it worse im sick and throwing up. The stores around me are struggling and dont really have ppl to spare.

Looking to see if PM's are eligible to claim overtime deductions from taxes since we still work overtime but we are salaried employees?

I just recently got hired on at CVS, and I’ll say this. So far the job has been pretty enjoyable for sure. Customers, overall, are really polite and friendly, sm is great, and the staff for both the pharmacy and front end are great and helpful to me as a new employee. Pay could be better but that’s most places. I’m enjoying the job so far.

I have 4 full timers and 1 part timer as cross sourced and they all usually work 1 shift in the pharmacy every week, mainly because that’s all the pharmacy has hours for. But now they want 4 of my full timers to work 3 of their 5 shifts in the pharmacy? They said to just “hire a seasonal part timer” to help cover the FS shifts. That single person is gonna cover what would be like 14 shifts every week??? Complete asinine request.

Thst died a quick death, eh? Why even bother lying about it? Did they hope we wouldn’t notice? Did they want to make sure we knew how much they hate us? Why is every interaction with this shithole company negative for their employees?

Had to hang up on a scammer tonight. Just so everyone knows what that entailed. He called and claimed he was from the technical support for CVS and then he explained that my front door system was not corresponding with the corporate system correctly. He told me he was going to put the front store on a cash only system for the next 10 to 15 minutes and that was when I knew he was a scammer. Then he told me to go get a piece of paper and a pen so he could give me credentials that's when I disconnected the call. Don't want anyone to call for this and lose their job. Always always hang up. Even if you hang up on someone important by chance. Always hang up.

I’ll start: “Please remove the last scanned item from the bagging area. Remember to always scan your items befo-” boodoop

I recently went from full time to part time, and my manager is having me resubmit my info to a part time slot so she can open up another full time position. Am I going to have to redo everything? Assessment, background check, i9, drug screen, the whole shebang? Or is it just the paperwork? Does anyone know? I don't have a car and rely on city transportation to get to work, I still work 9am-4pm 4 days a week so having to run around to complete all the extras again is going to be really difficult if I have to redo it
