He wanted to check it out since the one by our church had closed down and we hadn't stopped by one in a while. It felt a little bit eerie going in there since everything felt too in its place, quiet, and like a blast in the past because of how long we hadn't bin in a Rite Aid. I was bummed that they didn't have a wall of frozen desserts to pick their Thrifty ice cream from or maybe I missed it? Anyways, we and our way to the ice cream counter and got ourselves some ice cream with my go to always being Chocolate Malted Crunch, but was able to get a taste of my husband's Cherry Garcia ice cream. Would have tried a different flavor if they let us sample ice creams, but they don't. Both were as good as I remembered though we wished there were more cherries in the Cherry Garcia.

This store is fairly similar to other CVS Pharmacies, so finding what I needed only took a few minutes. What always amazes me is how many coupons and free items I can generate with one small purchase. I think I always get more coupons exceeding the original cost of purchase!

They have a drive-thru pharmacy. The makeup section was well organized. They have a lot of sales and deals in their makeup section. They sold shoes and fun summer pool toys as well. The bad: A lot of the makeup items have security locks so you cannot remove them to purchase without getting help. I had to press the call button twice to get help. The interesting: They have self-service check-out kiosks. CVS stands for Consumer Value Store.

What sparked me to write this review was the excellent customer service and positive experience related to my purchase of remote control batteries. As it turned out, I had built up $10 and could use this towards my purchase, making the batteries free. I would not have known this and am pleased the cashier told me about it. He is so kind and patient and advised me that I just needed to spend pennies more to use the entire amount. I have never received such service until today, so I felt I should write this review to show good people still exist!

My experience today with the pharmacy technician, Gaby, was completely unacceptable and upsetting…read more I was under the impression I could pick up both of my prescriptions, but instead of handling the situation professionally, Gaby exhibited a deeply disrespectful demeanor. She forced me to repeat myself multiple times and essentially made me yell out the specific medication I needed in a public space, which felt like a massive violation of my privacy. Even after I went and sat down to speak directly with the original pharmacist to sort out the issue, Gaby continued trying to shout things or talk over to me across the room. The pharmacist's excellent customer service AFTER HER was completely overshadowed by Gaby's unprofessionalism and total lack of discretion. I hope management addresses her behavior. Thank you again to the lady after, and I apologize for my part in the matter.

This is one of my favorite buildings in South Pasadena. Originally opened in 1915 as a pharmacy,…read morethe current ownership took it over in the 1940s and turned it into a soda fountain + pharmacy and made it world famous when it became one of the attractions on Route 66. Tons of people have visited it over the generations, and it's one of the landmark history spots of Los Angeles, and is a must-see stop if you are a Route 66 history fan. Parking in the area can be a bit difficult; however, it's not hard to find metered street parking in front or the paid parking lot across the street. Inside is really cool and preserved as if it is in the 1950s. In the back, they have a fully functional and working pharmacy, and in the front is a merchandise area, a little bodega, and a full service soda bar and milkshake station. The attendant behind the counter was extremely polite, and I tried a Cherry Soda, which I thought was great, and I wanted to get a banana milkshake; however, they were out, so I chose Funfetti Milkshake and enjoyed it very much. It was a great sweet treat on a warm day, and I would highly suggest to anyone to stop in for the history alone. It's also well known in many movies and TV shows, so if you are a filming location fan, it's also a must visit. I would highly recommend and will be back again in the future.

Extremely Rude Pharmacist and Unacceptable Customer Service…read more I had one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever encountered with Fair Oaks Pharmacy. I called with reasonable questions about a compounded prescription, specifically why such a large quantity of cream was being prescribed for a procedure that requires very little product. Rather than explaining the quantity or addressing my concerns, the pharmacist, Ava, became incredibly rude and dismissive. She told me I was taking up too much of her time simply by asking questions and that she needed to hang up on me. She then abruptly ended the call without even clarifying whether my prescription would be filled. I had to call back just to determine whether they intended to process it. As a patient, I should be able to ask basic questions about a prescription, particularly one that is being specially compounded, without being made to feel like an inconvenience. What makes this especially disappointing is that Fair Oaks Pharmacy presents itself as a longstanding neighborhood institution. I would expect a pharmacist to demonstrate professionalism, patience, and a willingness to answer legitimate questions about medication. Being yelled at, dismissed, and hung up on by a pharmacist is completely unacceptable. I have never experienced such disrespectful treatment from a pharmacy. I would strongly caution anyone considering this pharmacy, particularly for compounded prescriptions where clear communication and patient trust are essential.

Review of COVID testing here. If i would have paid close…read moreattention to info that rite aid sent to me about the corona testing here i might have approached this test site with a different mind set and point of view. my minds eye had set up a scenario of 50's style nurses and doctors dressed in super white, starchy hospital drag with scalpels and stethoscopes hanging from their necks waiting for me. waiting for me to mess up a relatively simple test. Also: as it is shown on TV in many other test venues, there were no long lines of cars stretching onto Colorado Blvd with waiting drivers honking and cussing out anyone who dared to butt in line. In reality there was almost no one here and the test was administered by the women in the drive thru prescription pick up booth who talked me through the test as in the nasal probe and the test tube of stuff in which i was to place the nose probe after i stuck it up my 2 nostrils. This probing caused me to cough and sneeze: something that no one wants any part of and so before this occured i was instructed to close my car window. smart move. This testing here is so cool and calm that i almost thought i was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But they had my name. they had my info and so once i landed at the pick up booth i could not flee. So i followed the instructions, shut my mouth and did the test: looking to the rite aider to give me the head bob meaning i was doing it right. Once i passed over the test tube with the snot enriched probe i was told that the results would be via email and it would take 2-7 days. And therein lies my issues. Honestly i do not have any symptoms but was able to schedule because of my age. i went back and forth and rescheduled this appt several times because a poz in say 5 days means i could be spreading the virus in those 5 days. BUT: i have been quarantined since March so this is not likely. But many people have not. Those know nothings (or more to the point, denyers) who feel they do not have to wear masks or follow social distancing. These are the people that will keep US as in the general public from getting back to living as we did just this last March. (yes, i am starting this again!) California has a Mask must be worn mandate but i have never witnessed any cop enforcing this. i have enforced it and gotten into major physical as well as vocal altercations. My sister tells me that i probably will not succumb to COVD but instead fall to a hot head who will shoot me. One ding bat said to me: "I'm Ok with it." (not wearing a mask) Oh yeah dude but we are NOT! Positive testing situation here at Rite Aid administered by good, caring and concerned people.

Shopping in Pasadena, California…read more.. After my failed attempt at finding a postcard at Walgreens, I searched my Yelp app for another CVS. It was very strange to me that GPS led me to Target.
