Rite Aid

HORRABLE!!! My son is out of insulin, two hour wait! Rude pharmacist. I will never get his meds her again.

Went here this morning to do a simple task of just loading money into my PayPal account which I have done at this and other Rite Aid locations before. If your unfamiliar with this all you need them to do is scan your barcode from your PayPal account on your phone and give them the amount you want to put in your account. Pretty simple. So I get to the register, show the barcode to the lady and tell her I would like to add money to my PayPal. she hesitates and asks the manager behind me, who I’ve seen before «Do we do that?». I turn to look at him to hear his answer and he just walks away from us. and with his back to us he says «We don’t do that anymore». I glance back at the register and see the barcode scanner they use to process this task and ask him «you guys can’t scan my barcode to do it?» He replies to me while still walking away and not even looking at me «No we don’t do that anymore.» Okay so first he wouldn’t even make eye contact with me or the register lady while answering us which is weird and unprofessional. On top of that he doesn’t even explain to me why they don’t do that here at this location, but I guess all the other locations in the country do it still lol. I’m utterly confused how a manager can lack such rudimentary but important skill sets like customer service, and problem solving skills. So I drove to another Rite Aid 10 mins away to get it done lol.

I have good and bad times here. Always nice when matt the pharamasist and Gary are working! Gary has great customer service and always in a good mood, also great at multitasking on both registers when busy!

What can you say about Rite Aid?
They have drugs, candy, wine, condoms and lawn and garden stuff. That sounds like a Hunter S. Thompson party.
The cashiers are nice. The store is always clean. The items are easy to find.

This is a well ran store, nice people and a good pharmacy staffed with friendly knowledgeable people.
My only gripe about the Rite Aid store itself is the standard everyday pricing on many items is more expensive than many stores pricing — but if you are a savvy shopper and know how to shop for sales and or bargains you can avoid this. issue. Rite Aid will have amazing sales on things for example — some items such as protein powder or vitamins are buy one get one free. That will make them average out to 50% off the Rite Aid price which will be less than the cost at other locations.
This is how I will usually buy my stuff here if I purchase them items from this store. Watch your paper or if you are in the store getting a prescription, cruise through whatever section you might need something from and look to see if it is on sale.

not the greatest hair care selection, some high end, some drugstore. not comprehensive. walgreen’s has them beat. target being one of the best.
not great makeup selection either, for new limited edition collections. my sister lives in eastern wash and we were both hunting for the same deal, this rite aid didn’t carry it. some rite aids have awesome seasonal/​new makeup areas, this isn’t one of them.
moderate grocery selection, large-​ish wine selection. never a line.

I would love to know why a successful Fortune 500 company with a revenue of 25 BILLION DOLLARS, the 3^rd largest drug store chain in the country, can’t staff enough people to fill a prescription for allergy medication in less than 3 hours. I would never step foot into this bleak, depressing store, had my insurance company not stopped contracting with Walgreens. Of course, they too have their share of problems, but customer service is not one of them.
Every single time I have a prescription filled at this Rite Aid, or at the Rite Aid on 39^th and Division, it takes them the better part of the day to slap a label on a pre-​packaged box and/​or put a few pills in a bottle. Not once have they managed to fill my prescription before I arrive, much less in a timely fashion after the fact. I’ve always given them AT LEAST two hours, usually closer to three hours, and that’s being conservative. I think it’s all a part of their master plan to sell cheap drug store junk to people who don’t get out of the house much.
Besides pushing overpriced pharmaceuticals to sick people, Rite Aid also offers Chia Pets, cheap box wine, corn syrup candy and beverages, and As Seen On TV garbage. Just what sick people need.
«Mr. Patient, please take some FD&C Red #40 and a petrochemical Snuggie and come back for another prescription of antibiotics in a week.»
All of the West Coast Thrifty Drug and Discount stores were acquired by Rite Aid at some point in the 90’s, and since then, they haven’t done much other than change the signs. Yeah, Thrifty… the place with the cheap ice cream counter (actually icemilk — they don’t even use eggs). I worked for Thrifty the summer of my sophomore year in high school at the beach in SoCal, where the line for 55 cent ice cream scoops during the heat of the afternoon was 30+ people deep.
The job sucked, the ice cream sucked, and Thrifty sucked… and apparently they still do.

It’s a 24 hr rite aid that has a little bit of everything.

Needed something late at night and they had it. Plus they are open 24 hours. QFC is closer but they didn’t have squat. Just called and they had my item waiting at checkout. Very nice.
