Rite Aid

So impressed. If you’re looking for a pharmacy in the Syracuse area this Rite Aid is THE PLACE to go!
For the days in life when you’re handed one of those unfortunate «late night emergencies» this pharmacy is there to help. –Open until midnight!
The best surprise. Was the helpfulness of the pharmacist and techs. Eager to offer information and answer any questions, with all the cheer in the world! And if you’re looking to have your scripts filled fast and efficient, Butternut St. has you covered. It was less than a half hour from the time my physician called in my script to the time I picked it up. Can’t ask for much more!

I’m going to have to downgrade this Rite-​Aid. The employees work pretty hard, but I assume they are distributed based on sales volume, not actual need. This means there are simply not enough employees given that every single customer has something complicated going on with their checkout. Whether they are trying to get board games at last week’s price, they are using like nine types of food stamps in one transaction, they have an expired coupon, or they are just staggeringly old and take forever to do everything, the person in front of you will take a very long time to check out. Guaranteed. If there are three people in front of you in line, give up.
That said, the utility of a 24-​hour store in this area is great.
