Rite Aid

Best pharmacy ever. jackie is the bomb

My experience here with prescription refills have been consistent & timely. I also stop in to buy candy or other items such as flu/​common cold products, feminine items or body care items. Each time my experience has been considered good or excellent. Only down side is maybe twice I had to wait for about 5 mi items because there was no cashier at the register. But that did not run my positive cumulative visits.
Convenient, moderately priced for items I was interested in & easy getting in & out quickly.

Maybe it was a bad day. But when I walked in with a prescription the «pharmacy» was closed. I asked an employee who, without responding, walked to the pharmacy area, opened the door, spoke to someone and then walked back past me, again without speaking. I went down the street to Walgreens and got much better service.

OK, so let’s pour a nice glass of hatorade on this hot day and talk about the filthiest, dingiest, nastiest Rite Aid of them all, and the mean pharmacy queen that rules the roost, Jackie.
Too much drama? Me thinks maybe, but it makes for fun reading and gets you interested, yes? Anyway, this place is the pits. A cross between a pharmacy and a flea market, make sure to double check expiration dates on everything you buy. Nothing like walking out with a snack that expired last week! Yummers!
Standing alone at the end of the dying three shop strip mall, the only reason this place stays around is because it’s close to the Wawa. Let’s face it — parking here can be a nightmare, and none of these shops have been renovated since they were built.
Not enough to rate one star you say? Too harsh you exclaim! Well, say that after you get your prescription filled here. I dropped off two prescriptions noting they have a sign, right on the door of the pharmacy consultation area, that tells you they will match any competitor’s price on prescriptions.
I happily showed up with my Wegman’s circular showing my meds should cost me all of $ 6, when good old Jackie tells me that sign doesn’t apply in New Jersey! What?!? It doesn’t say ‘except NJ’ in microtype anywhere on it as it is RIGHT THERE TO READ and I literally am pointing that fact out to her. On the sign. That is RIGHT THERE.
She then states that the offer is only for people 65 and older, which is better than not applicable, but still a change from not at all, at which point I smell a rat. I press her on which is it, not at all or 65 and over, she shrugs, stating «I’m really not sure but either way there’s no further discount on your medicine.»
I can’t get my script back. I hate this place anyway (I only stopped because it was convenient when I ran in the Wawa for money the other day) so screw it, and her, I’ll pay the extra and get on my way.
I advise her that I have no intention of ever returning to this establishment as I consider the sign misleading and her attitude poor. She shrugs, stating «Yeah, I get yelled at a lot about that sign.»
Here’s a hint Jackie — Take the freaking sign down if it doesn’t apply. Better than getting sued for false advertising! Sheesh, I know, I can see that shrug all the way from here. Keep practicing it, so in the unemployment line when the attendant asks you why you are there, you can simply
*shrug*
