Rite Aid

We went in for ice cream when a child walked by with ice cream from us. Our friend’s daughter got excited, and I got excited when they said Rite Aid. LOL So that meant THRIFTY’s!
Always a sucker for their Birthday Cake Ice cream with the frozen buttercream frosting. Their single scoops are always ginormous for cheap. But prices are going up :($ 1.99 now
Mahmud (Forgot the spelling sorry) saw us coming a mile away and prepped the scoops before we even reached them. He even gave really big samples on a spoon. Surprisingly cheery person– I’ve never met a staff member at Rite Aid so perky.

We, the students of Alvarado middle school, are not allowed to go into rite aid without an adult during minimum day. They don’t trust aspiring teens and threatened to call the police on innocent students. This is against age! Only 2 – 4 students inside at a time. Bs

This review is mostly for their Thrifty’s ice cream counter. The best ice cream you can buy for under $ 2 a scoop! I usually get their chocolate malt crunch, but today I got their pistachio. It was really good and not too sweet. I personally don’t like how much pistachio nuts are actually in it, but the ice cream itself is good. My regular, chocolate malt crunch, is the best. Chocolate ice cream with chocolate covered crispies. Delicious! And it’s only $ 1.79 a scoop. It’s a really good deal. And their scoops are a really good size. My go to spot when I’m just craving some ice cream.
I will also add that they just reminded this rite aid and it looks so much better. It’s really easy to find things at this store b/​c they put up these giant signs.

Not bad place. Store is clean, well lit, almost too spacious.
Didn’t really see anything unique though for special buys.
On upside the Thrifty ice cream counter was really clean, unmanned until cashier requests assistance. Got the 2 scoops for like $ 3 and it absolutely hit the spot.
Super surprised bc amount of foot traffic would make this ridiculous but it’s good that it can hang.
Mmmmmm ice cream

1 scoop of The thrifty store ice cream on a cone or a cup for $ 1.79. Great dessert or snack on a hot day.
Although I was acknowledge to wait when they were ready to serve me.
They use a specialized ice cream scooper to scoop your ice cream on a cone. It’s cylindrical in shape where it fits the cake or sugar cone perfectly.

They have $ 1.79 thrifty ice cream with 20 flavors! The rest of the store is pretty well staffed and cleaner than most Rite Aids. I’m a fan.

Vey nice remodeled store but howevere their prices in many items went up! Also the fitness supplements are really expensive here. The same whey protein that is listed for $ 29.00 i can buy it at walmart for $ 19.99 or sometimes cheaper. Oh and their condoms are very expensive i might as well go tj the liquor store and buy them for 2 or 3 dollars cheaper. I like how they extended their hours till 11 pm. Overall a nice place

I was in the neighborhood this past weekend and had to get an eye liner that my coworker had recommended. Fortunately, I was able to find it here. This location is big and extremely clean compared to other drug stores I’ve been to). The only negative is the parking. It’s located in an Asian plaza and parking can be scarce, most of the time.

By far the worst pharmacy I have ever been to. Wasn’t sure this could be possible but it’s getting worse with ever visit. Pharmacist and a few staff members are rude and SUPER SLOW! The ladies at the counter are actually pleasant. I always have to be sure I have at least 30+ minutes when I go pick up my meds. I need to sign up for my meds to be delivered to the house. HATE this place.

I’ve only ever really dealt with the pharmacy here. The staff is nice, but this is quite possibly the slowest pharmacy I have ever been to. I don’t know if it’s a staffing issue or what, but the line is always really long and it seems like it takes way longer than necessary for each customer to be helped. Even when my doctor faxes or calls in a prescription, it seems to take them a while to get to it. Most likely just more business than their staffing can accommodate. I keep going there because the location is convenient and the staff is friendly and helpful. Just be prepared to wait!

Rite aid has literally tons of items on special which needs a «wellness» card/​membersjp: wines, couple dollars off, beers ¹⁄₃ off, candles, buy one, get one free, snacks, & chips 30%, other juck food,
then you check the medicine section to cure the hacking cough from eating/​drinking/​smoking (no longer). and most meds are at regular prices. (loss leaders, then bam!)
tries: ice cream 1.79cup, but no server at counter.

My go to for my pharmacy needs. The staff is always help and courteous with any of my needs. The worst time to go is weekdays around 5−7pm. Stay away from those times and at most there is no more than 2 customers in front of you.

I usually avoid posting harsh reviews but I really have to speak my mind.
I’ve been going to this Rite Aid since I was a teenager, everyone is usually friendly until I came here yesterday.
I was doing my regular errands and of course getting Thrifty’s ice cream, I was walking towards the ice cream section with my items till a man with long hair approached me, he was working the register that night. I thought he was going to ask if I was doing alright, but he rudely asked if I was «going to buy that» and pointed at my items.
He thought I was going to walk out of the store, I pointed at the ice cream and I said «Am I allowed to browse for ice cream?» And he quickly apologized.
I’m a customer service manager, I would NEVER speak to my customers that way.
Maybe this store should move that section further from the entrance door so the employees wouldn’t harass their customers like that.
I’m NEVER coming back here. I’ll just go to CVS.

This Rite Aid is located inside the Alvarado Plaza Shopping Center next door to Seafood City Supermarket.
Let me start off by saying, finding a space to park here is like finding a spot at Costco!!! This is a decent sized parking lot, but it is sooo busy with Seafood City and sooo many other stores & restaurants nearby!!!
This Rite is decent in size and it carries all your typical products you’d expect to see at your local Rite Aid. We went here to purchase hair coloring and it was on sale but they didn’t have our color, so we asked someone up front for some assistance to see if they had the specific hair color we wanted. We waited like 10 minutes before someone came to help us, but sadly they didn’t have the color we wanted. However, the lady did offer us a «Rain Check», so we’d still be able to get it for the sale price upon our next return to the store which was nice.
Upon return, they did have the color we wanted in stock and yup we got it for what it was advertised!
They also have Shopping Carts for customers to use and they do allow you to take them out of the store to your car, unlike the Rite Aid on Decoto.
They also have hand baskets for you to use while shopping inside the store.
Service here seems to much better than the Rite Aid on Decoto, because the lines here are never long compared to the one on Decoto. The employees here take a while sometimes too but still the lines are never long compared to the one on Decoto.
Overall, 4 stars.

I have been here enough times to recognize a lot of the employees. They are good for more than meds, did not realize until recently that milk here is cheaper here than grocery stores. Love the 20% discount you get on most items if you are a member. Also a good spot to buy boxed chocolates, who would have thought.

Friendly workers and the best ice cream ever! They have waffle cones, which I haven’t been able to find at any other Rite Aid (Decoto). Also, they always have all flavors!

I came here with my ex boyfriend’s mom. She wanted to purchase a money order. It’s not necessarily the workers’ faults, but their machine was stuck or something. We were literally at the cash register for half an hour… so lame! They were on the phone the whole time trying to fix it. She told us that this happens all the time, and didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience.
Bottom line: Don’t go here for money orders.

One of the better Rite Aids in the area, in regards to size of store and items in stock. They have a larger food section than most Rite Aids I’ve visited.
Some of the cashiers are kind of slow. They write out the rain checks instead of printing them from the register. Rain checks are handwritten on a piece of register tape (or scribbled, mind you they have a line building because I asked for one little thing in addition to buying stuff and since this is Rite Aid, they have four or five registers but only one cashier per shift or something). The rain checks don’t look legit, so I’m always amazed when they work! I have my doubts the rain checks would work at another Rite Aid location.
Likes: Lots of parking. Good inventory. Thrifty ice cream.

I love their Ice cream — the stuff from the ice cream counter, that is.
This Rite Aid is closest to my house so i can walk there anytime for an ice cream, plus you can still get a waffle cone here, whereas you cannot get a waffle cone at the Rite Aid store across town (in Decoto).
Prices went up by more than a dollar since a year ago, but just use your Rite Aid «Wellness Card» when you buy and ice cream and you get a nice discount.
And they always have my favorites: Black Cherry, Butter pecan, and Mint chip. But they have many other choices, too.

My family uses the pharmacy here so sometimes I come by to drop off or pick up their prescriptions. The pharmacy is pretty small, not as busy as the one I used to work at.
Over the years I’ve noticed that this place has turned into an after school hangout spot… AKA GHETTO.
What I love about Rite Aid though is their ice cream. BOMB​.COM … Chocolate Malted Krunch!
