Since 2015 when my father died at the nearby Mid Hudson Regional Hospital (formerly Saint Francis Hospital) due to heart conditions and they tried everything they could, I've been at this Rite Aid twice. And having had what I thought was the casual sinus pressure problem I had been having for the several days before this a tad earlier this month, decided to stop in to buy something to remedy it.
On my most recent trip earlier this month, when I came in here for Sudafed PE (store brand) because I thought the decongestant was to fix a sinus pressure problem (which turned out to be something else entirely different). And although I felt awkward walking in (I had to overcome a fear of RiteAids having had some terrible times at my local RiteAids a little closer to me) and ended up looking like I had no clue where stuff was even with the not-so-quite visible signs which were never clearly visible or seen until later in the trip in, I found what I wanted when my mother (who came in here with me) had to help me find something (because I looked too dumb-founded to find it on my own and was about to go up-and-down each aisle until I found what I wanted to find).
Having seen the register person come up to be behind her register was a chore. She was pregnant (although I have nothing against seeing this or interacting with the employee) and I had to give her the benefit of the doubt of taking more time to get there. (I was okay with this situation, though when we asked when her baby was due she said she was within a few weeks.)
Prices might have been a little steep for the item, but the price I had to pay wasn't outrageous. I liked that you had a store-brand of the item I was looking for, but signage is definitely an issue. Even the price tags and sales signs are a little hard to see coming from above.
I'd imagine if I was living closer to this pharmacy, I'd use it more often. But since I'm not, I'll just stop in from time-to-time when you are needed. I needed you the other day and you were there, and I thank you.
(Oh yeah, before I forget): Parking. Parking also seemed to be interesting. I had come to this store in 2015 one time and parked in the front. However, I was pressed for time when I came in and parked on the side of this store on my latest visit. Signs said that there is a time restriction placed on spots here (unless you have handicap rights with a handicap placard or handicap license plate) and I was okay with that. I found that there is no direct entrance to-and-from US-9, but that was okay because I knew my way around. The corner seemed tight besides the drive-through which exits you out the side of the building where the drive-up window is. read more
