About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CVS Pharmacy, a regular customer complained loudly one day: ‘Why do I always get aspirin when I ask for ibuprofen?’ The pharmacist shrugged and replied, ‘Maybe because you never specify the exact brand!’ A few days later, an irate neighbor stormed in demanding why her prescription had been filled with generic pills instead of brand-name ones. The pharmacist smiled and quipped, ‘Ma’am, maybe next time you should specify “brand-name” on your request.’ She huffed and left, muttering something about old-fashioned service.

2. At CVS Pharmacy, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Do you have any special discounts for people who can remember when these prices were half as much?’ The pharmacist smiled warmly and replied, "Sir, we've been here longer than most of our customers' grandchildren!" The old man laughed heartily, paying for his medication with a smile. As he left, he muttered under his breath, 'And I thought I was young.' A delivery driver overheard him and joked, 'Next time, bring your Social Security card!'

3. At CVS Pharmacy, a sign above the entrance read: ‘Today’s Special: Happiness Guaranteed—Or Your Money Back!’ A delivery driver passing by stopped in his tracks. The delivery driver chuckled and said aloud, ‘Now that’s what I call marketing!’ He parked his truck and walked inside, only to emerge moments later with a big smile on his face, having bought several items under the influence of the sign’s promise. As he left, a neighbor waved and commented, ‘Looks like they found their first happy customer today.’

4. At CVS Pharmacy, a delivery driver left early one morning, forgetting a package marked ‘Manager Only.’ Later that day, employees found it filled with boxes of candy and notes reading, ‘Happy Halloween!’ Later, another delivery driver arrived, frantically searching for his missing package. When he heard the story, he joked, 'I’ll never leave anything labeled “Manager Only” again!' And from then on, every Halloween, mysterious packages appeared—filled not just with candy but also with free samples from local shops.
