51. I went to Hy-Vee, too.

Feb 2021

My experience was like yours. My husband and I were both out in about a half hour.

Hy-Vee knows what they are doing!

To top it off, they were doing covid testing, too. It was supposed to be drive-through, but it was too cold that day. They had people sequestered in the back of the pharmacy, all socially distanced. Pharmacy staff was testing them. They left via a back door as soon as they were through with that procedure.

I can't say enough good things about Hy-Vee.
