When Riteaid in NE 40th shut down, i was transferred to Fred Meyers for perscriptions. After going to Riteaid for 24 years, and always having good service, easy parking, and fast pick ups, I wasn't happy. While I shop at Freddie's weekly, whenever I glanced at the pharmacy, the lines were incredibly long, so willingly, I never would have chosen them as my pharmacy. Plus, the parking. You can't park right up front and get in and out quickly.
So far I have gone twice. The lines were long but they moved surprisingly fast. There are several reps waiting on customers, which helps. At Riteaid or Walgreens or CVS, they have one.
Both times, the service was fast, friendly and efficient. They were happy to accommodate me after seeing the copay with my insurance was over $158. With GoodRX it was $52, so the rep process the prescription through GoodRX. There was no pushback. In the past, when asking the same at Safeway, my request was received with sighs of inconvenience.
Will have to give it time as we are just starting our relationship, but so far, all good. read more
