I’m talking about the section of CVS that fills prescriptions. The one I’ve been using is giving me terrible service. Today they refilled a medication that I haven’t taken in 2 years!!! For no reason! I’ve already talked to the store manager. There’s a Walgreens nearby. Are they better?

I think it really depends upon the individual Pharmacist rather than which chain.
When I lived in Philly there were tons of CVS stores and I went to them quite a bit. Most were fine, no complaints
Every once in a while I would encounter a crappy one but that has happened with other chains (Walgreens as well)
One major difference I noted tho was in the computer systems. CVS seemed to have more difficulty accessing your info if you went to a different branch in another part of town as is not uncommon in a large metropolitan area. But it wasn’t that big a deal for me.
Each store is different. I love the CVS that is closest to my new home. The ones that I was near before the move were lousy.
If the one that is close to you doesn’t measure up, you should definitely transfer to another CVS or another store entirely. A good pharmacist is your friend.
