Rite Aid

Nice remodel. Nice employees. However, that’s the most I can say about a drug store that doesn’t provide wheelchairs or electric carts for the sick, elderly and the injured. These are the people that NEED access to a drug store. The rest us don’t need to be there. We can order online.

I’ve been a childhood supporter of Thrifty’s ice cream like I’m sure many of you have. Tonight, however I’ve been on the receiving end of some of the most dangerous, disgusting, and ridiculous food-​handling practices EVER on Thrifty/Rite-Aid’s behalf. I was eating a double scoop of Pecan Praline/​Mocha Almond Fudge (ironically, which I actually mentioned in a post earlier on how I couldn’t wait to enjoy after getting home from a long weekend of work) when I bit down on a large metal lug nut of sorts. I REPEAT: I BIT DOWN AND NEARLY SWALLOWED A LUG NUT FOUND IN A CUP OF THRIFTY’S ICE CREAM I BOUGHT THIS PAST FRIDAY!
This is absolutely and very seriously a TRUE STORY that I would not want to make up in my wildest dreams because, again I like many of you, have been a supporter of Thrifty/​Rite-​Aid for as long as I can remember! I am bringing this to your attention to warn you of the unsafe food-​handling practices of Thrifty/​Rite-​Aid and to speak out about an imminent danger that can happen to any one of you and lead to fatal consequences! THANK GOD I was blessed to not suffer this time. It is absolutely incredible that this could take place anywhere along the line in the food-​handling process! And, absolutely important that you share this post and this act of negligence toward a long-​supporting customer.
SHARE IF YOU USED TO LOVE THRIFTY’S ICE CREAM AS A KID!!!

There’s always a few staff working whenever I come here, nevertheless they’re quite helpful. I come here mostly for their ice cream because it’s cheap and amazingly delicious. They’re remodeling the store at the very moment so they aren’t selling ice cream which made me sad when I wanted some ice cream. But the store looks great even though they haven’t finished remodeling. You should go check it out

A few days ago I was getting sick so I went in the store. It was a disaster. The store was so unorganized and everything was all over the place. They are doing some remodeling but it should still be kept neat. Besides that cashier was very friendly and cheerful.

I live around the corner from here. Bring my kids for an ice cream sometimes. I’m going to be going to the one on Jamboree from now on.
It’s the 2^nd time I come and see the different chunks of ice creams mixed in each. You can tell its from I improper cleaning of scooper.
It’s so gross and not sanitary at all.
When I told the lady scooping the ice cream if she can make sure not to get the other ice cream mixed with my scoop, she just scooted it over and got the ice cream underneath it. I bet the next person will get the mixed ice cream part.
I should have just said never mind.

Yes, it is older inside but a very friendly location form my experience. Love to grab ice cream and the folks serving here our super nice and make my kids feel good. We will continue to visit our local Rite Aid.

I always come here to shop and to grab some thrifty ice cream. Today, I really needed change for a dollar and the person in charge of the store or cashier that helped us with our transaction refused to give us change. He claimed not to have keys and gave a cynical giggle!!! How disappointing of this cashier /​store manager !! I will not be returning to this rite aid !!!

Management Must be great at this location. I live extremely close to this rite aid and every time I go the employees are great everyone from the cashier to the pharmacist. I absolutely love this Rite Aid and would recommend to everyone. it’s also great to go there for the ice cream

I just had a very rude experience with the pharmacist. As the FDA has just rescheduled hydrocodone to schedule 2, many pharmacies are out of stock. If they are out, fine they are out. But now it is becoming difficult to fill a valid prescription without travelling outside of your home town. The once friendly pharmacy tech dropped her smile immediately when she saw the prescription and told me to wait while she checked with her pharmacist. Across the room they both looked at me then the paper then spoke quietly. When the tech came back she said they can’t fill a prescription from Long Beach its too far away. I told her there’s no law regarding that and that I’ve been to every pharmacy in Long Beach and they are all out. The pharmacist said that it’s not a law, just her policy and that Long Beach has the medication and what I said was not true! Not true? I guess I’m lying. Her tone was so superior, so judgmental. If you need a schedule 2 prescription filled at this Rite Aid be prepared to be judged by the pharmacist. Its not enough to have a Dr.‘s help, now you must look worthy to the over empowered staff at Rite Aid.

No offense, but the service at Photo is TERRIBLE! I went in there today to ask them to develop my film. The guy behind the counter was polite, but come on… two weeks for photos? What happened to the one hour photo? I told him «I’ll just go to Wal Greens…»

The ice cream is creamy and delicious… good price too! Black cherry and mint ‘n chip ate my favs! Be prepared to stand in line on warm summer evenings.

Once upon a time when I was a teeny tiny Unilocaler of 5 and before anyone knew I was severely lactose intolerant, my dad, after banishing all sweets from the house, used to take me to Thrifty’s for ice cream cones as a treat. Vanilla seemed ordinary compared to mint & chip and rocky road which became my favorite flavors.
These days, I come to Rite Aid, who bought out Thrify’s years ago, for their buy-​one-​get-​one-​free vitamin deals… like yesterday, when I snagged $ 25 of fish oil for FREE.

An everage drugstore. Got everything what you’d need in a hurry. Nothing to write home about.

Two words: ice cream!!!
Two more words: rocky road!
One word: heaven!

(this review/​rating is solely for their ice cream service. i don’t come here for anything else):
triple scoop ice cream, with your choice from ~10 delicious flavors, IN A CONE (it always tastes better in a cone).all for ~$ 2. what could be better? not some meager amount of yogurt from Yogurtland/​all places like Yogurtland for like $ 3, right!!!

I never thought of reviewing a pharmacy until the atrocious experience I had at the cash register. After viewing the aisles and buying slightly more expensive products that I could have gotten cheap at your local walmart, I decided to invest my money in this local crap hole in hopes of stimulating the local business of this pathetic broken down air-​conditionless facility. I should have known better when I walked in and saw the most down trodden employees who I would’ve labeled as disenfranchised youth except they weren’t…they were miserable.
Not that I’m expecting a hop and a skip or chipper greeting but seriously now, this place makes me want to come up with my own pharmaceutical blend of caffeine or energy ginseng infused suppository to stick up the employees’ arses!
Now I wouldn’t be writing such a love note about this place if it wasn’t for the fact that I asked for 30 bucks cash back and the Rosario Will n Grace employee neglected to give me the cash back.
Because there was another customer behind me, I patiently waited for her to be rung up before I asked for my money.
Rosario had the nerve to look at me suspiciously, «i didn’t give you the money?»
«Do you want to search me?» I looked at her displeased and showed her the shopping bag and started emptying my pockets.
She laughs, «Are you sure?»
By this time I gave her a look that was less than amused. The nerve! She looked at the bag! Hello! Presence of mind, please!
She spoke to another employee who called the manager. This other employee translated to the manager «The cash register needs to be audited because the customer said she didn’t receive her cashback.»
I’m like, «Hello? Did I stuff it in my ass?»
I waited for 20 minutes as I grabbed a magazine and flipped through asinine news, anything to calm my seething.
«30 bucks, right?» The manager stated. I nodded and walked out the door. If the manager and Rosario didn’t catch me and apologize, I would never come back here again. The extra star is because I have a sneaking suspicion that if I’m in an emergency rut I might come back… otherwise CVS down the road is a better pick.
I definately don’t recommend placing your prescriptions here, it’s not open 24 hours plus the a/​c is busted… think about the meds that need to be in room temperature, not sweltering temperature.

This place is the most depressing hole in the wall pharmacy I have ever set foot into. Even these nasty places in Philly that I’m walking into look better than this place.
It’s depressing, I can’t explain it, maybe it’s the lighting? Gotta love their 80’s era black and white screen registers. This place needs a remodel reeeeal bad.
