    Yup.

    Driving around Pasadena 9pm, spotted RiteAid and ice cream came to mind. Made u-turn, headed there with doubts in mind that they would not serve ice cream for whatever reason late at night. I was wrong. They even sold me a authentic Thrifty ice cream scoop "gun"! Will be back when in the area.

    in my mind's eye: the COVD test nurses

    Review of COVID testing here. If i would have paid close attention 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.

    I can only give my review based on the single scoop ice cream I got here. The guy working there was super chill and super nice. I got the chocolate malted crunch which was good but next time I'll probably still stick with class cookies n cream. Anyways it's 1.99 ice cream at Rite Aid. Haha. I got a sugar cone with that. Got exactly what I expected so... yeah that's it.

    Heaping scoop of fresh Circus Cookies! Yummy!

    The Rite Aid in Pasadena is a nice and clean inside. Isles are very organized. The store overall is clean and organized. Staff is very friendly and nice. Pharmacists are very helpful with any questions and concerns, they are also friendly too. Now Rite Aid is know for their classic, "Thrifty Ice Cream"! Whether you are happy, sad, alone or with a group come on down and get a scoop of Thrifty Ice Cream! It's cheap ($1.99 a scoop) and it taste good. Some workers here give good heaping scoops! Yummy! So whenever you are near by come on down Rite Aid and get a flu shot! With a scoop of ice cream for the road!

    Dolores is the most helpful employer ever! Tried the circus animal cookie and it was bomb!

    Rite aid ice cream never fails! It has always been my all time child hood favorite and it's still as good now. Dolores is the sweetest employee ever! She's so helpful and has the best attitude! Make sure she serves your ice cream :) I tried the animal circus cookie and it was super yummy!

    I don't know if I just got there during the off-shift or what, but the service was terrible. There was virtually no one there.

    I didn't go to the actual pharmacy part of the store so this is for the main drugstore, but I had…read moresuch a lovely interaction this evening! I went in, mostly just for contact solution, but as I always end up doing when I'm in the CVS, I definitely roamed the aisles and ended up with way more than I bargained for! For one thing, and this is mostly across all CVS locations, I love the store. Some of their things can be expensive, but I live walking to a different location, and I find that when you're a consistent shopper, there are always an abundance of coupons and opportunities to save some dollars. And the convenience is worth it to me. For example, tonight my total was about $64 or so. By the time I had added all of my coupons and signed up for their monthly program, I paid less than $40. Sami helped me out and he was so lovely and kind! He helped me reactivate my ExtraCare membership. I ran in quickly initially without my card since they take Apple Pay, but I needed the physical card to activate my membership. It was truly no issue to run out for my card but he profusely apologized for the inconvenience. Sami was just so friendly and kept up the good natured conversation during our whole interaction whilst still maintaining good efficiency. Overall I left in the least amount of time but feeling completely taken care of. I feel like this is kind of across all locations, but specifically this store did not feel super well stocked. I don't really think that's their fault though. That kind of seems to be the model across most locations. But I will say this specific CVS had a lot more buttons around the store to call the staff since a lot of items are locked up now. My usual CVS definitely doesn't have as many as it needs and it can feel frustrating trying to get help. I needed something today and found an accessible button, and a staff member came very quickly to assist me. Overall, a 10 out of 10, and next time I'm in the area I would definitely stop back here again!

    Understaffed, always busy. Sometimes it'll take me 20 min to pick up meds. Skip it if you can!read more

    Horrible pharmacy service and completely disorganized staff…read more I came here only to get a vaccine, which should take just a few minutes, but I ended up waiting over an hour and a half. The biggest issue is that everyone was doing jobs they weren't supposed to be doing. The nurse who was supposed to be giving vaccines was instead helping a customer who was taking forever to decide which medication to get, while the line kept getting longer. Meanwhile, other employees who could have helped were just standing around, careless and not stepping in at all. No one seemed to care about the growing line or patients who were clearly waiting. After all that time, I was told I still didn't even have a patient appointment, even though they continued helping walk-ins the entire time. No communication, no urgency, no apology. Extremely disappointing and poorly managed. Do not come to this pharmacy if you value your time.

    Well your pharmacist called me a liar because I had a prescription for Norco because I broke my…read moreankle. He was rude and told me they will never fill a prescription for me. So here I sit after midnight in horrible pain looking for illegal pain pills on the street because this Walgreens pharmacist was rude and refused to fill my very valid prescription. If I die from finding illegal pain pills, I blame Walgreens. Take a look at my ankle. Do you think this hurts? No wonder Walgreens is going out of business. I have nothing for pain because YOU declined my very legal prescription. And then refused to give me his name. I would never wish anyone harm, but I hope the person that denied me pain relief injures himself in the same way. He is a horrible person for denying me my legal prescription, yelling at me and calling me a liar. Karma will come back to you Walgreens pharmacy. I am a senior citizen and do not deserve to be treated with such disrespect.

    When Rite Aid closed all our prescriptions were sent to this CVS…read more we were disappointed because this store is much further away for my 94 year old mother-in-law, and apparently they became much busier due to the influx of new prescriptions from their previous competitor. The first prescription picked up was in a pill bottle not only child proof, but also elderly proof. I called them and went through all the hoops to reach a live person to ask if they could make note in her records that she needs the alternate prescription bottle that allows her access to her medication and was assured that this was possible and they had updated her records for the future. My Mother-in-law couldn't take her medication again because her refill is impenetrable for her when they refill. It's sad

    Holy underpants this pharmacy sucks!!! It walks like a pharmacy and talks like a pharmacy, but the…read morepharmacy on Doc McStuffins would provide better service. I moved to Pasadena in October and transferred multiple prescriptions to this location. Since then I have had an issue with every Rx I have needed filled. Every flippin prescription!?! I have been on multiple medications, some for a decade, and I have never had the amount of issues I have had here in two and a half months. Every flippin time!?! Routine medications challenge them, communication is an afterthought, they insulate themselves from phone calls by having a ridiculous phone tree & alleged call-back system, God help you if you need a controlled prescription... Rania (Sp?) is the only pharmacist that actively worked to resolve other pharmacist nonchalance and utter incompetence. Transfer you prescriptions to Brown & Welin on Green Street, their customer service is above and beyond.
