You guys are just plain rude and mean. 9 workers and not one will make eye contact with customers. When the older lady finally acknowledged me, she made it loud and clear that she was pissed that I went five minutes before there lunch and I interrupted what she was doing. I felt so awful when I left. I had the worst news at the hospital today and I didn't deserve this. The lady had her badge turned backwards. If I treated people like s**t I would do that too.

This is the worst place to go for prescriptions!! I have a major back issue and have spine implants…read moreto walk and need several medications including some pain meds. I use patches and creams and nerve meds also, and it is sad when it takes day to get medication filled!! I am one that will stretch medication because I don't like to take them but it sucks when I wait to long and I need them... this pharmacy either has a pharmacist that doesn't think you really need them or just puts you on the back burner and tells you that because they have more customers that need the same medication they have to fill them before mine!!! Wtf!! Fill them when you get them!!! My DR sent it to you do t wait two or three days for others to come in.. Walgreens used to be the only place we as Military family would go to and now we are going to report them to our insurance company. I have been shorted medication or get half pills and then they tell me I'm lying! I am a pharmacy tech by trade and though I can no longer work I keep my license up and I have ethics, and there is no way I would ever jeopardize my license. Here is just an example in this picture. You can see where I counted them back out just to make sure this was an order. I just picked up. Counted them twice just to confirm that I was shorted one pill it was half exactly half how can that be? It was like it was cut in half and given it to me so where is the other half? Is it in the bottle now these pills have to be signed off by two people your Pharmacy tech and then your pharmacist also has to count them out so they have to be counted twice and signed for by your pharmacist so he should have caught this and correct it. Always count your pills.

I use this Rite Aid for pharmacy and vaccinations. For this the pharmacists are very helpful and…read moreinformative. They take time to explain prescription use and effects. Pharmacy staff are generally helpful and polite although I've had a few less than optimal experiences. The store in general is clean and [reasonably] stocked. There have been instances when shelves were empty and isles blocked off. Perhaps because of news of closures in the last year have made stocking difficult. I won't speculate on this. I do like using the Amazon lock boxes at the back of the store for order pick up. This is easy and convenient and allows me to pick up needed items at the same time. Store staff are generally polite and helpful although sometimes it does seem like folks are milling around and not really doing anything. Recommended.

My mother was excited knowing that Tulare had a Rite Aid she wanted to get her prescription here…read moreshe loved Rite Aid cause of the Thrifty's ice cream. She used to take us to Thrifty's in Visalia when it was on main street where the Starbucks is located. We went in to get her prescription and were told they never got it. We called the doctor and he informed us he gave them the prescription details. We waited a couple of days and came back we even called before coming in this time they said they had it after giving them information over the phone. We came in and gave them the insurance information and they informed us that another pharmacy has the prescription in another state and is holding it? Why? This is piss poor customer service. Looks like I'm taking her to the urgent care for heart and diabetes medication. They no longer have Thrifty's ice cream by the pint you have to buy it 5 dollars a scoop. So much for an American brand for an American price! Monday May13th 2024.

Today I attempted to refill my Lantus Insulin. The…read morepharmacist on duty told me that it wasn't covered and would I like to pay cash? No, I would not. (It's always been covered.) I called my insurance company. It is covered and as usual, it was incorrectly submitted by CVS pharmacy. The Blue Shield rep was on hold with the pharmacy for 20 minutes and told me she would call me back. CVS once told me that my needles weren't covered which I thought was odd. I paid cash and found out later that they were covered. Why cover insulin with no way to administer it? CVS screwed up an INSULIN prescription. Unbelievable.

I do shop this CVS (self-serve check out) but recently had a bad experience with the pharmacy. In…read morelate October, I requested a prescription transfer from CVS #912 to Walmart Pharmacy in Tulare CA because of cost through my insurance. CVS, over the course of almost three weeks, refused to release the Rx to Walmart. The Walmart pharmacy staff were helpful and persistent. They informed me that, despite multiple transfer requests, CVS kept 'denying' the transfer. After an in-person visit to the CVS pharmacy - where I was told I was "out of refills" (not true; I had two left) - and my doctor's office, and a pharmacist-to-pharmacist phone call, the issue was finally resolved but not without great inconvenience and frustration.

As far as Walgreens are concerned, you could do worse. As a frequent customer (out of necessity,…read morenot choice), I've discovered this chain is all about cookie-cutter layouts and across-the-board mediocrity. They also have an uncanny ability to be out of anything I'm looking for. I give this location credit for bucking the trend and stocking their shelves in an orderly fashion. I've also run into some mighty friendly employees here. Who knew someone could be so thrilled that I was buying ice cream? Random observation: The most popular Redbox location I've ever seen. On any given visit, I see more people outside in line for the Redbox than I do inside the store. Apparently it's the preferred form of entertainment for those in the area.

Located in downtown Tulare, by Carl's Jr, this spot is not to hard to miss. Right when I walked in…read moreI was greeted right away, which was very nice. I came in to get my flu shot because just about every pharmacy I called only had the flu shot for 65 and older folks. The pharmacist, and techs were all so friendly. They were extremely nice and helpful, and even offered a discount on my shot for 21 dollars, regular price was 31.99. So don't forget to ask for the discount card when you come in. The shot was PAINLESS!! I couldn't believe it. My total wait time from stepping in was about 20 min.

As I walked in a low life individual ironically wearing a "Jesus Saves" t shirt walked out and showed off two cans of spray paint he had in his waistband to his braindead friends who laughed and celebrated his thievery like children who just who heard a loud fart. While inside I couldn't help to rush as I am traveling for work and couldn't help but to think about my truck and the contents within it while grabbing essentials.

During two consecutive visits to the Walmart automotive department, a notable deficiency in…read morecustomer service was observed. On the initial visit, repeated activation of the assistance call button over a ten-minute interval yielded no response. The subsequent day, the same lack of response occurred, notwithstanding the presence of security personnel who attempted to facilitate assistance. Ultimately, this resulted in a suboptimal customer experience, prompting the decision to procure goods elsewhere. TLDR; Basically I went in on two different days to get solder which is locked up in the glass and nobody ever came to help after trying several times. yes, you read that correctly: two days in a row.

Between that, a clean store and a good stock, consider this your drug store of choice in Tulare. I came in seeking some medicine (which this store actually carried) and was pleasantly surprised by how many random employees greeted me and asked me if I needed any help. The line at the register moved fast and I was back out the door with as little inconvenience as possible. With that said, it's also a CVS, which means some high prices and a hit or miss selection. This location is better than others...just don't always expect the best experience.
