Rite Aid

If you like constant long lines with slow service then this is the place for you. If you’re in a hurry don’t go to this place at all. I started coming here 3 years ago because it’s within walking distance of my house. I thought it would be convenient. I think I timed the line I was in at 10 minutes at one point. I now drive 2 miles away because I know I will be in and out right away. Bad management, this problem should be addressed.

My doctor faxed a prescription over 3 hours ago. I arrived to pick it up and they had not even begin to fill it yet! I had to wait another ½ hour to get it. Whoever runs this place should be canned! This is not the first time they have done this! When they finally filled it, they made me wait in line again instead of having me come to the front! Disgraceful, lost a customer forever!

Being a small community, Linda Vista does not have a large number of full service convenient stores, so we are very fortunate to have this Rite Aid in the neighborhood. While my most frequent runs here are at night for a pint of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, it is fully stocked with all of your needs from cosmetics to alcohol. Even better they still offer Thirty ice cream by the scoop at the nearby counter!
The staff are always friendly and always are amazed that I can use my Apple Watch to complete my transaction quickly. The only downside to this place is the lines for checking out are fairly long, and self check-​out is not an option. Also, there tends to be people loitering out in front of the store at all hours of the day.
This place is A-​OK for your convenient store needs!

Usually never have prpblems with this store but on ¹⁄₁₉ around 2pm I had the worst unfriendly cashier I have ever gotten there. Normally the ladies working the register are extremely friendly this lady was not. I stood in line while there was no one in front of me for 5 minutes while the cashier starred off in space before she even noticed I was waiting. Had a rude look and didn’t say thank you or anything. I will not be returning to this rite aid

What a deal. We went into Rite Aid last night for Halloween candy and ended up getting stocking stuffers for the holidays. They had original gourmet premium cookies four ounce can for only $ 1.
Needless to say I bought about 20 cans and I was able to use my plenti point so basically I got them for free.
The only down side was Rite Aid was bought by Walgreens effective yesterday. I’m not sure what this will mean for the plenti points program as well as areas that have a Rite Aid and Walgreens within a close proximity.

Came to this Rite aide to get some ice cream. We checked into another Rite Aide earlier but we were on the go and had to do errands.
My daughter and I wanted some ice cream in a cup. I got the pineapple coconut in a cup. So good! I could taste the pieces of coconut and pineapples in the ice cream. So creamy in texture and very flavorful. My daughter got the cotton candy flavored ice cream in a cup. She couldn’t finish it so I got to taste whatever she did not eat. It actually tasted like cotton candy. Yummy! The colors were blue and pink swirled together.
We also got to walk around. I saw some Christmas decorations and I heard another guy say out loud
«Christmas decorations already in October?» I wanted to blurt something out too but just smiled as we kept on walking. My daughter also found some toys in another aisle. Store was very clean and organized.
As we walked out, there’s a security guard walking up and down outside the store. There’s also plenty of parking up front. Descent location.

My family are all in the medical field! The pharmacy is exceptional! I have gone through a few surgery ‘s for various reasons! They are patient and explain everything to me and anybody we refer! I am sorry that I see poor ratings, however I have been going here for 15 years, and I can say this is the BEST Team Ever!
Blessings ~~

This review is for the pharmacy … put it this way, I can walk to this location, but have now transferred my prescription back to the Rite Aid downtown on Kettner just to avoid ever going back.
I had put up with ok to poor service for the last four months since moving to Baypark area. Often when I came in to pick up my Rx, the Pharmacist was on their lunch, which I was told could take up to «2 hours so I should go home and then come back later.» The breaking point was this weekend, when I found out they stopped the auto-​refill on a necessary Rx of mine (unknown to me), and that the prescription had therefore expired without their knowledge. Due to the weekend and the holiday, I couldn’t get my prescription until later this week. The worst part was the Pharmacist got on the phone with me and informed me it was my fault for letting the Rx lapse, and took no responsibility.
Filling a prescription shouldn’t be this hard, and I shouldn’t have to get in a fight with the pharmacist to convey the importance of a medication that I need. At the end of the day, they should work with you — not against you, to get your Rx filled. Isn’t that their job?

This review is for the places terrible passport photo service. I’ve tried on three separate occassions spaced out over three months to get my passport photo here. Each time there was a problem. First, they camera was busted. Then the printer was busted. Today the chain that holds up the white screen is busted.
Best thing I can say about them is that theY directed me to the UPS store. which of course didn’t have a Camera. So, no go there too.
Do yourself a favor and find another place.

Just had to stop by and get some great ice cream!!! The very nice lady did a great job helping me with the different flavors. Definitely a good quick spot for hassle free ice cream!

I have just recently started shopping at this particular Rite Aid in the past couple of months. I haven’t seen it before the remodel — but it is very nice. It looks much more «upscale» than your average Rite Aid.
Also the employees have all been really generous here compared to those at the Balboa location. I definitely prefer this store over Balboa! They are pretty good about adding a cashier when there is a line.

This Rite-​Aid has significantly improved layout-​wise since the re-​model. Not only does it look brand new inside, but the aisles are intuitive and well labeled.
The staff are ALWAYS friendly. And I mean always. They are easy to chat with while you check-​out and are super helpful if you are trying to find something.
I typically come here for makeup purchases (awesome selection by the way), alcohol purchases (bigger selection and much cheaper here than at Anchor Liquor or Kiel’s) or for the pharmacy (again, friendly staff and short lines).
I think just the fact that they still serve Thrifty Ice Cream alone earns a couple stars, but that doesn’t mean that they are lacking anywhere else. Overall, I have nothing bad to say about this place!

Never take passport photo here unless you want to trash 10 bucks. They can not trim it for you. It is a mission impossible to define the edges and trim photos out of the big prints they give you. Let’s forget about how unprofessional the girl who took pictures, she does not even understand a basic of lighting. So, try anywhere else like a CVS where they will really take passport photos, rather than just press a shutter!!!

Hate this place. Some of the most shady people hang around outside of this place. The parking lot is not lit up very well compared to the Target and Vons nearby.
I recently changed my prescription to a different pharmacy because I was tired of having to watch my back while picking up my Rx.
The employees are friendly, that’s not my complaint. I wish they would do a better job to make this a more safe and comfortable environment such as better lighting in the parking lot and maybe even a security guard to deter people from loitering outside.

This is the worst store ever. I came in to get my passport photo taken. It took ten minutes and me asking three employees for help before someone was able to help. Then they took the photo and charged me $ 11. However I go to submit my passport and the post office says the photo was not taken properly. Plus whenever I go in here for normal shopping the store sucks too. Employees are not helpful and stuff is over priced. I’ll never go to another rite aid ever again. I’ll go to CVS from now on.

Close, convenient and it’s a little one stop shop for about everything. Also, if you just want your basic alcohol than this is the place to come. They have the cheapest prices I’ve found anywhere nearby. Ok, I’ll be honest. I only come here for booze and hygiene products but it’s within walking distance and cheap.

Never thought I’d be writing a review about a rite aid but felt like I had to all because of one specific employee.
Rhonda, I believe her name is, (red hair) she is the rudest person there!
All other employees are super super nice. Living down the block, we tend to this Rite Aid quite often, but we try to avoid it now as much as we can.

This place is close.
I like the fact that you can come here just about any time to pick up a few things for the house.
Never really busy but never slow.
I love the fact that when I need to buy some beer, they seem to have really good prices and some good beers to choose from.
I like that alot. My buds are always coming over and drink up what I have.
Even when it is late they can head on down there To pick up even more for the next UFC fight or what ever we are doing.
Cheers.

It’s convenient to be able to multi-​task shopping for essentials in addition to getting your meds.
Always plenty of parking available, the pharmacy is helpful and prompt with the prescriptions, the check-​out lines never get backed up, they have a decent selection of value items, and yummy ice cream scoops.

The lay-​out of this place sucks. For instance, today I went in to buy toothpaste and mouthwash, and it took forever to find the stuff. Why? Because, for some unknown reason, dental hygiene products are way in the back with no sign hanging from the ceiling saying what’s in the back.
Also, most of the male cashiers have the total sketch look going on: greasy hair, scraggy beard, and big rimmed glasses. Given the fact an elementary school is close by, and yeah, full blown sketchiness. Not that I’m superficial nor stereotype at all.
On the upside, the prices aren’t bad, and don’t need some stupid discount card for the sales prices, unlike good ol’ CVS.
