As a retired California Pharmacist, Attorney and now a Product Review Specialist for Amazon. I…read morerecommend Rite Aid Stores and the Pharmacy for a number of reasons. The Stores are clean and well stocked with quality brand name products. Staff is exceptionally attentive. The Pharmacy is the best of all retail chains, which might not be saying much these days because all retail chains over-work and under-staff their pharmacies. Rite Aid here in 29 Palms is one of the best Rite Aid Stores I have ever shopped in. I shop there often, although their prices are not as low as Walmart, but they are close and I get all my prescriptions filled there. Rite Aid Pharmacies use good quality generic brands of prescription drugs. somewhat better than Walgreens and much better than CVS (friends don't let friends shop at CVS). If the Pharmacy appears busy, keep in mind they fill about 1,000 prescriptions, each and every day using 1.5 Pharmacists and 4-5 Pharmacy Technicians and clerical persons during a 12 hr shift. Also administering countless numbers of vaccines each day.

Friendly and fast. The problem with this location is their Fountain Drinks. They are often out of ice for the drinks for a long period of time (recently for about 4-5 days), many of the drink selections are empty or broken, when they have ice. My suggestion is save your styrofoam cup from Circle K and buy your drink 1 block south at the gas station/Subway shop. Reusing your Circle K cup is good for the environment and you get the drink you want. The Yucca Valley and Morongo Valley Circle K's are amazing each time.

The reason why I write this review was because I was in need of water. I grabbed a 24 pack of purlife and a 2 liter Pepsi. The lady tells me it's $16. I ask her how much the water was & she says $12... that's outrages. I tell her I won't be taking the water then, only the Pepsi & she said "ok $4" & she types in the register & is waiting so i tap my card. She then proceeds to tell me "No, $16". I ask "For the pepsi?" & she goes "No, water & Pepsi". & I tell her I only want the pepsi & she started getting mad & yelling at me because she already charged me for the water. It seemed like she was trying to guilt trip me so I can just be like "it's ok, i'll take it". The husband then comes out & starts yelling at me, saying it's my fault I tapped the card. They start talking & pointing at me in Chinese. I tell them to refund me my money & they start yelling even more. Please be careful of their crazy, high prices

I walk in to get a beverage and the lady asked me to take off my beanie, it is freezing cold right now. Then the man says she thought it was a hood. It's fine. I go look to see what drink I want to get, the whole time they are staring at me and maybe a minute later the man comes up to me and says can I help you but not in a friendly way, in a way like I know that they think I am trying to steal? I respond no thank you I'm just looking to see what I want to get. He walks away. They both stay staring at me. I could feel their eyes and when I would look over to them, they're both staring at me. They ended up not having anything I wanted to drink anyways, but the staff made the experience very bad and their body language was that of accusing me of being a criminal just because I was looking to get a drink from their store.

I've personally heard her talking about customers under her breath, and during a recent visit I witnessed her pull or hit a customer in what appeared to be a playful way. Whether she meant it as a joke or not, it was inappropriate and unprofessional. Daryl (I believe that's how his name is spelled) was also extremely rude during my visit. A customer tried using EBT at a register that apparently doesn't accept it, and instead of calmly explaining the situation, he responded loudly and aggressively enough that the customer looked embarrassed. Afterward, I heard him muttering under his breath and laughing, which came across as mocking the customer. This isn't an isolated issue. In my previous review, I mentioned Cody being rude, Natasha acting unprofessionally toward customers, and a former employee who made inappropriate comments about my body and clothing. At this point, there seems to be a pattern involving the same people. Most employees at this location are perfectly fine, but the behavior from Crystal, Daryl, Cody, and Natasha has created an environment that feels uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Management needs to address these issues because customers should not have to deal with disrespectful behavior from staff.
