Rudeness By CVS Cashier

On 8/7/11, I visited you store located at 15700 SW 88th Street, in Miami, FL. I went in because I needed to purchase an item and I had a $3.00 off coupon. What happened next has left a real bad taste in my mouth. I went to the front counter and handed Jessica, your cashier up there my item and the coupon. She scanned the item and then asked me if I had a CVS card with me. I told her no. She then tossed the coupon back at me and told me that I needed a car in order to use the coupon. I admit, this is something I totally overlooked before coming in. For that I take full responsibility. I then told her that I had received the coupon in the mail, so I or my wife must have some sort of card in the system (I found out later from my wife that indeed we do). To this Jessica tells me, "I don't know where you may have taken that coupon from or who may have given it to you". What??? Is this anyway to treat a customer? Could she have asked me for my phone number to pull up the card? Yes! She definately did not have to toss the coupon at me or give me a lecture as to where I may have "taken" it from or "received" from. As I had already told her, I got it in the mail. I then left the item I intended to buy, and left the store and purchased it at on of the two Walgreens I had passed to get to your store.

I feel that Jessica's supervisor need to teach her to speak to customers in a more professional matter. I also feel that she could have asked me for my number to pull up my card number in the system.

I disagree with a few of the posters. I work for CVS Pharmacy as a
Pharmacy Technician and often have to ring customers out at pick up.
We're required to ask if they have a CVS card on them. If they say no,
we're supposed to as if we can look up their card using their phone
number or offer them a card if they don't have one. Either way, I feel
the cashier was being rude. There's more that she could have done for
the customer other than just tossing the coupon back at him.

She spoke to you just fine. She's a cashier. She's not the head of
the company. You didn't have your card on you (which she needed to
scan).

Hmmm anothers "Its my fault...but" letters.

If a card is required to use the coupon its your fault. Your arguing
resulted in her response. As for the phone number how do you know you
can look up an account with a phone number? Did you design their
software? Maybe she is required to physically have the card to scan?

cashier could have asked for the phone number by Bill R. Tue August 9, 2011 @ 10:14 PM

But I know that Mr.olie might just try this method. "Maybe my wife
has an account. Here's our number."

I know where he generally shops. He, however, probably has NO idea
where I go, except for Target and our preferred grocery store. He's
be willing to give out the phone number just to try it out.

In order to not waste the trip, I would have asked for the manager on
the spot.
