Rite Aid

I transferred my prescriptions to Ride Aid from CVS. Rite Aid is accurate in filling prescriptions, and the staff is friendly and not condescending (like at CVS). Service is way faster at Rite Aid than at CVS, too. I’m glad I made the switch.

I wanted one simple home remedy from this huge drug store, Rite Aid, but its medicine section is very small compared to the size of the store. The two widest aisles In the store are for beer, soda, and junk food. There was no one in the pharmacy area and the one cashier had a line of about 5 customers. Went to Walgreen’s – which always has stocking clerks available – & got what I needed immediately.

Something about this place makes me wants to come here for a reason, and mostly for their ice cream. I love the selection, beats brocks ice cream in price value and for some reason gives me an idea what ice cream tub I may actually buy by the gallon after just tasting a sample and buying 2 scoops of ice cream in a cone and then buying a tub of ice cream.
The convenience is great.
But other than that, other stuff just browsing around the store, they are priced slightly higher compared to Walgreen’s… Sigh. But nothing too drastic in price.
The store is kept clean — –All The Time! And sometimes you have to seek for a nearest employee around the huge store to ask any questions/​help looking for something… Employees are fairly scarce, they need more employees on staff not just 1 in the front counter, several employees at the pharmacy counter, and about 2 employees somewhere around the maze of aisles… Which I find it irritating. When I have to walk all the way there to find them when my product was on the other end of the store… Blah!
Come to think, after writing this review… I should’ve just went straight to the pharmacy counter and ask to page someone on the intercom for faster customer service.
**blonde moment** oops!

My mother and I went to Rite Aid to get some folded chairs that were on sale. All but two had broken arms and when we asked about getting an additional discount on the damaged product, the guy asked us how much of a discount, because he could send them back to the warehouse and get new ones! Hello, have you heard of customer service and actually try to make a sale?!

Great prices, well stocked and CLEAN. I just moved to Olivehurst from the Bay Area and I love this Rite Aid. The customer service is friendly and the hand packed Thrifty ice cream is delicious! Go for the ice cream if for no other reason.
I have been using CVS for prescriptions so I don’t know how good they are in that department yet, however, I plan to move my prescriptions over now that I know this Rite Aid exists because it is closer to me.

OK if you shop at Rite-​Aid you know they have this reward card that you can use in order to get discounts and so forth. Well, I get this email from them stating I have a 25% off coupon to use in the store with the exception being one cannot use it on alcohol, prescription, and dairy products.
I get up to the checkstand with the items I want to purchase, which included none of the above prohibited items, and was denied because the cashier said the coupon only applied to Christmas items. WHOA! where does it say that? I just said forget it and walked out didn’t want to waste time arguing about it. No wonder this place loses to Walgreens, it’s because of their bait and switch routine on most everything. What is good about this place… the inexpensive ice cream shop inside and that’s it!
