Rite Aid

Not a store I will frequent. Made a quick run and couldn’t wait to leave! Two police cars were posted and blocking the exit running their mouths. Loiterers were everywhere. I’ll pass!

Went in to this rite aid today 1÷12÷16 at 7:30 and a very rude guy attended us at the ice cream corner. This associate didn’t greet us or thank us. His register froze in the middle of the transaction and we were asking him if it went through and he ignored us while he was on the phone. Until he just said go over there and I’ll ring you up right now. I will never get ice cream there again! Seriously, if you are not happy working there then I suggest you find employment elsewhere. Cashier number is 63 712 988, transaction number 1 252 247 about 5 feet 6 inches tall, wears PRADA Glasses most definitely never the employee of the month!

I cannot say much about Rite Aid except for the fact that they are open ²⁴⁄₇. Whenever I have needed anything in the wee hours especially, this Rite Aid has all ays been my life saver.
Now this Rite Aid isn’t known for the nicest employees. The fact that they are open all hours is an am exception to me. I especially love going to try the ice cream. Growing up, I grew to love their ice cream. Today, it is still better than ever!
They do have plenty of parking, as well as security inside during the dusk hours. Hey, whenever I needed water especially, this Rite Aid has always been there for me!

Worst customer service ever. Wiped out on my bike after taking the train to long beach willow station. Went in to consult with the pharmacy as to how to treat my many wounds. Got bandages, bactine and antibiotic ointment and went to pay for it.
After checking out, I hear the old Mexican woman (I’m Mexican too, don’t get your panties in a bundle. Just trying to call her out specifically since there were 2 cashiers working.) call me «disgusting» under her breath. I turned around and she was staring right at me.
Called and asked for the store supervisor who conveniently could not hear me. This was Saturday August 15^th at around 4:30pm.
Horrible.

Called for help… girl gave Me a ton off additude, then hung up on me. I usually go to this place. no longer…

I’m not gonna lie. This place has the best ice cream. It is cheap and affordable! I really only come here just for the ice cream. I always get cookies & cream single scoop on a cone. It’s so good. My favorite icecream flavor ever! I love it when it’s a new batch because it tastes more delicious. Also, I love the cookie part. Yumm.
The downside is that it takes a while for someone to help you get your icecream. That sucks. I feel like they are understaffed sometimes.
If you want to save money, I recommend buying the Thrifty’s icecream container when it’s on sale. They have deals here and there. Saves you money and time!

My personal space bubble was just abruptly popped as I was calmly reading reviews on my phone for makeup products. I understand that people steal makeup, but I seriously felt uncomfortable browsing through the makeup isle after a male associate popped up, literally an inch behind me, asking if I «needed anything» in a loud, condescending tone. I don’t think I’m coming back to this location to shop for makeup.
Also, the ice cream service takes too long. Just grab 2 tubs from the from the back freezer. Buy one tub get the 2^nd one free! (With a wellness card or phone number) I added a star because of the ice cream deal and awesome cashier.

I came here for a scoop of ice cream and I ordered chocolate malted crunch and took a bite and the malt was stale. I quickly told the female employee that the ice cream is stale and responded by saying how when it’s a new tub which was rude because why would I lie. So I asked for a scoop of pistachio and I got the same result stale pistachios. My suggestion is they need to have a service tech look at the freezer.

I come here to fill my prescriptions because it’s close to home and convenient. However, after the service I received yesterday, I’ll be taking my business to the Walgreens down the street.
I came in on a Sunday to get a refill on one of my prescriptions. There was a short line in front of me. An older gentleman and a couple. The pharmacist was on her own at the counter and also had a customer at the drive through window. She was understandably busy, but that was no excuse for the service she provided.
As she tried to multitask she had customers shouting their birth dates and names to her to try to pick up their prescriptions. Although I was over 15 feet away I can tell you the name and birth date of the man two customers ahead of me. The same goes for the customers after him.
Once it was my turn she shouted to me that she would be with me in a moment and then walked to a computer further down the counter, (about half way across the actual pharmacy) but not accessible to customers due to large shelving units and a plexiglass window. I waited at the counter and a few minutes later she again shouted that she would be right with me. Finally she asked me for my birthdate, from the same spot about 10 or 12 feet away, forcing me to shout to be heard clearly. Sadly she still couldn’t hear me properly and I ended up having to shout to her not just my name and birthdate, but the medication I was refilling as well. Anyone behind me could have easily gotten that information because she wouldn’t come closer to me in order to help me. As a matter of fact, I never spoke to her face to face during the entire transaction. I was told that my refill would take about half an hour to fill and I could either wait or come back. I said I would be back that evening and she shouted at me, «You have to come back before 6. I leave at 6.»
As I turned to leave I noticed several customers in the immediate area that could hear our entire conversation, despite being well behind the sign that tells customers to wait some 10 feet away for the privacy of others.
What happened was not only a complete violation of my right to privacy, but absolutely awful customer service. I had to learn the name of the pharmacist from her tech when I came back later that afternoon, since she never came anywhere near me. No greeting. No «how can I help you?» No face to face contact or even eye contact. Just shouting personal and private information half way down a room because she couldn’t be bothered to slow down and offer decent customer service. I would much rather have had to wait a little longer and have been given personal service rather than being rushed, yelled at, and treated as if I were a bother rather than a customer.
There are 2 other pharmacies within walking distance of this Rite Aid. CVS is catty-​corner across Willow and Long Beach Blvd. And a Walgreens just a few blocks west on Willow. Both offer excellent service and respect the customers right to privacy. Choose one of them rather than coming here and being yelled at.

This is the place where I always go to grab icecream. At first, it was always getting a small amount as in a scoop or 2 from that ice cream stand. Next, I choose to occasionally grab the icecream bucket. From time to time, there a riteaid deals for 2 for $ 6. Yes, I’m really going on and on about icecream but seriously, I’m only come here for icecream.

Three stars for decent prices compared to the CVS down the street, but also the three stars due to the lack of cashiers with a huge long line on the daily basis.

I use to love this store until tonight. Smh The security asked me to leave all my things in the front while everyone else had theirs in their hand. Smh. I’ll Goto cvs Albertsons or wallgreens now

The good: The ice cream… of course!
The bad: Cops and sirens late at night… a common scene.
Let’s sum it up: Great daytime place for ice cream, drugs and incidentals. When the sun goes down… put it on the next day agenda!

This RA has a good selection of beauty products (the main reason I go to any drug store), but their prices are on the high side, even with sales. Plus the staff is unhelpful and poorly trained. Every time they err they have to call the manager out and have him override everything. ARGH! It’s so frustrating.
Also, I just found out they changed their Up Rewards program. Instead of printing out on your receipt like CVS does, you have to COME BACK on another shopping trip THE NEXT DAY for your rewards to print out. WTF???
Shysters.

I will never go to any Rite Aid store ever again after the experience I had here!

24 hrs

I’m not gonna speak for every employee that works at this location but the one’s that were there today lacked a friendly attitude. To top it off my husband and kids were at the ice cream counter and the employee working the counter walked off and started BS’ing w/​another employee. Straight rude. :(

Close by my place but I barely come up here for some reason. Staff are okay, but seems like they don’t really care for their customers that goes in and out of their store.
Cheap thrifty Ice cream! 2 for $ 5! lol

Aw man coming here brings back childhood memories. I’ll never understand why Vegas doesn’t have Rite Aid. It’s devastating!
Well, I come here for one reason and one reason only! I mean it’s the reason for those three lovely stars. And that my fellow Unilocalers is the ICE CREAM. Not just any flavor, but the chocolate malted crunch! It doesn’t exist anywhere but here. Ask for a scoop on a sugar cone. Their trademark is the scoop. The way that it’s perfectly hand-​scooped into a cylinder. And here comes the best part. It’s only 98 cents! okay. it used to be, they just added a buck more. But aye! it’s still cheap for some Thrifty ice cream.

Rite Aid ice cream is pretty good. I love the cotton candy flavor!
Too much of it and you’ll die!

«Play with my emotions, you get no devotion… and you gets no love, you can’t get no love from me.»
This is how I feel about this Rite-​Aid. I stopped in to get beer after hanging out with some friends a few weeks ago. When I took my purchases to the check out, the mean old check-​out lady told me that I could not buy beer after midnight.
Oh bovine one, what cow planet are you from?
Well, I’m not one to argue (hahhahaha!) so I left the stuff right there and voted with my gas pedal and drove across the street to CVS, where there was a long line of folks, all with liquor in their hands. I got in line right with ‘em.
Looks like CVS swooped that late night money. Yep, one store’s policy is another one’s profit!
