Rite Aid

This is my pharmacy of… habit. There used to be 3 checkout lines, now you ring the bell to get someone. They have some staff inter-​personal camaraderie issues, so-​so management, excellent pharmacists, but some less-​than-​friendly – but fairly efficient staff. It all goes back to management, and this borderline store is probably an outpost. Lots of food and housewares, good company-​wide sales. Way too much competition from the other box pharmacies in the neighborhood – all of which have more foot traffic from my view. The grocery store next door went from being the primary one to the distant 2^nd choice — the stop and shop big store across the street took all the crowds. One wonders if this store would make it for 15 minutes without the pharmacy. Pharmacy 5 stars, store 2 stars… so it’s a 3 ½. Did I mention that the parking is easy, my favorite pizzeria is right there and it’s the closest one to my house? None of the other contenders are worth driving out of my way for. I will say their rewards program — the more you buy, the more you save— is quite good.
What a depressing boring suburban life review, delivered with a sigh of unmotivated resignation… sorry…at least I’m not whining…

My reviews are typically a lot like Facebook news feeds: plagued with mindless minutiae. This review will not diverge from that. A broken automatic door set the stage for an altogether unfulfilling and subpar experience. In the best interest of everyone involved, I won’t go any further.
