Four stars are for Pharmacist. He was calm and is clearly making the best of his situation…read more Pharmacy techs are rushed. Problems could be solved quicker and more effectively if they took the time to actually listen. Instead, they rush through the conversation and cut you off only to come back three or four times to correct themselves or fix something. In the end they still messed up my prescription, luckily it wasn't something major. Again, the pharmacist really stood out here. He kept his cool even after he tripped over a box the girls left in the walkway. Give these girls some Ritalin. They can't finish one thing before messing up three others.

I joked with her that it was a part of my early Easter basket of goodies. I've already tried some of the travel sized samples. :-) I came in particularly for nail supplies ie clippers and cuticle products. Low n behold the super nice attendant unlocked the product for me and then she informed me of the BOGO deal happening for anything in that section. Lo and behold I had already had another item that I was getting from there! The section was neat and tidy too. Always a bonus. So I got the BOGO deal, used my CVS rewards cash and left spending less than 4 dollars on probably $30 worth of product if regular priced. All three staffers that we encountered this day were super nice and they each went above and beyond to be helpful.

Carlsbad, CA - avoid this pharmacy at all costs because there's always a long line. I've never seen…read morea pharmacy with such long lines and each person had a full on conversation with the staff at the window. The pickup window doesn't deal with insurance info so they sent me to another line after waiting in line for window D to input insurance info. The only saving grace is if you have a bar code then you can get in the express line which is significantly faster but even then sometimes there's a line for that. Also the floors are dirty. No one vacuums? Granted the 1 star I'm giving is for the friendly staff. But maybe they're understaff or their system is just not very efficient.

Both of my arms are all sunburned from sitting out by the pool and I wasn't wearing sunscreen. CVS Pharmacy was the only drug store that had their Aloe Vera Gel in stock. The price was $6.29 for a pump bottle for this .Aloe Vera Gel. This Aloe Vera Gel will provide me with a cooling sensation to ease my sunburn. I also bought 2 Wet and Wild (Black) Gel Eyeliner Pencil. The price was $6.79 each. The total for 2 eyeliner pencils is $13.58. Then I bought one Rose shade Blush. The price is $2.19. The final item I bought was the Blush Brush. the price is $8.00. My total bill was $17.28. I enjoy shopping at this CVS Pharmacy location due to their cashier like Mata is always very helpful in finding the product that I need most and she is also has an upbeat positive attitude. Their pharmacist is also very helpful and friendly to me their regular customer.

Not knowing this was only slightly better, you still get weirdos from 7-11 and people hanging around at night from In N Out. I think the parking lot lighting could be better, lots of shadows. The pharmacy is faster, less crowded, but the store is worse. Less selection, less deals. Less offerings on services. I almost never grab things here before I pick up my prescriptions like at other CVS's. I try to come here in the day time only now. I also don't smoke, or drink anymore, so not picking up my old Bacardi Limon handles like I did 15 years ago.

The only downsides to this location really has nothing to do with Rite Aid itself, but the City of Oceanside. It seems like this location is a harbor for transients and drug users. There's always some meth head roaming around or legit walking around the store looting and nothing is done to stop it. Makes me want to throw my morals and caution into the wind and just go on a "shopping spree". But, I'd totally get arrested. Yeah, so aside from that, great Rite Aid.

This place doesn't disappoint, aside from how expensive everything else is in the store. This location, in particular, is always well put together. The staff from the store clerks to the pharmacy team are consistently professional, helpful, and on point. I'm still low-key shocked at how cheap legal meds can be here in America compared to many other places.

Did not have any more time to wait as was going to be late for a dinner so came back the next day with my mobile app ready and the one person tending to the line kept asking who's next and took the normal line before the mobile app line! super frustrating to be left waiting first in the other line one day and specifically came back with the mobile app and still did not get priority like all of the people did the day before to me! if you are going to make 2 separate lines, establish a rule and stick to it, otherwise it is not fair

I am usually the first customer in the door when they open it - I only have 10 minutes to shop and get out: in order to make my commuter train on time. I appreciate the customer service - the employees are all very friendly to me. I use a shopping list and I go through there like I'm on Supermarket Sweep - in a blazing hurry. I've never missed my train: because they open promptly. I know it is one of the smaller Walmart Neighborhood Markets but they have a selection of products I like and I know in exactly which aisle to find the items I use every day. There is ample parking and they do have a pickup service (I've never used that - to be honest.). I leave a 5 star rating on their self checkout terminals. I never use a regular checkout line because I'm in too much of a hurry. This store is environmentally aware - they stopped carrying reusable plastic bags and now only have large heavy duty paper bags available on their checkout stands. (I bring my own bags: but I appreciate the fact that they are cutting down on plastic waste in my environment.) It only takes me 5 minutes to get about $40 worth of items I need and get to a checkout stand - in a way: the small footprint of this store makes it very efficient for me to get through in a hurry - it is a plus. I'll be back!!! Love this little place!!! They all know my face, by now!

At 70 years old and with numerous medical conditions, I was tired of the big pharmacies-where they question some of your medications or act as if they know better than your doctor-and believe me it happens. Tarun always makes sure to get your prescriptions filled in a timely matter, stays calm even when the phones are ringing off the hook and always takes the time to listen. You won't find that at a big pharmacy--I cannot recommend Oceanside Pharmacy highly enough. Even though I dont think he even reads the reviews-he is the best!!
