Went in today to ask for a refill A lady walked in behind me Saw the pharmacy gates closed The lady asked "is it closed" cashier did not know when it was gonna reopen Shopped around waiting for the gates to open back up sat in the waiting area Turns out they were open just had the gates closed one small window open When i wet to the counter to ask about my rx refill the lady was helping me but could not hear her clearly because the gate was at about neck height to me She snapped at me that "thats what i just said" Its understandable they are struggling with being in stock with things as the company is recovering from bankruptcy but the service should be much better Not certain who is supposed to be in charge of that aspect but hiding behind closed gates is NOT the way to do business read more

See all

People are nice but ain't nothin there. Seems like the store has been raided each time I go in. Certainly lacking in merchandise, but it makes sense given the location read more

While checkout staff was nice, don't bother with the pharmacy anytime during the day. Come in after their lunch and they still had nit returned. Thanks guys. :/ read more

This is regarding the pharmacy and only the pharmacy...look I understand you probably get tired of seeing hundreds of ppl a day and get tired of putting hundreds of prescriptions together a day but there's no need for attitude...I came to pick up a prescription for my son which is supposed to have a automatic refill for it...when I got to the counter and gave info the lady behind the counter rolled her eyes at me and said there's nothing in the computer saying a prescription is ready and asked if it got called in...I told her it was supposed to be a autofill...she said nothing on file and asked what it was...I told her and she said I can have it ready in 30 minutes and I said ok expecting her to tell me have a seat or we'll call you to the window when it's ready but she said nothing, stared at me and said you can go now...like what the heck...you didn't tell me next steps that's all I was waiting for...just rude. Sadly my son's insurance doesn't allow him to get prescriptions sent to CVS because if it did that's where he would go instead of here. He's told me in the past that he's come in for his refill and it's NEVER ready EVER. read more

Exceptional customer service! A huge thank you to Bradley for welcoming us with a warm smile and making us feel right at home. His attention to detail and care made our experience outstanding. We truly appreciate the excellent service today, Bradley! read more

This store sucks. The fridges don't work and everything is sold at room temperature that's stored in the fridge. Hottest beer in the valley sold here..... it's been almost a year. read more

This review if for the pharmacy only. I am the POA for a stroke patient who was getting discharged from a post acute rehab facility into long- term care. The rehab facility tried to call the pharmacy to order numerous, expensive meds, including a vital prescription. My friend only had one dose left of the vital med. The rehab nurse called the pharmacy in my presence, but no one answered, so a message was left. I was later talking to my friend's insurance carrier rep, who tried to call TWICE, and had to leave a voicemail. I called a couple of hours later, and had to leave a voicemail. Multiple messages left, and not a single call back. I finally walked in at 7:00 pm to see whether the prescriptions had been received, only to discover that no one had bothered to return any calls. I was told that we probably called "when we were really busy." Excuse me? Four or five calls over several hours? They then told me that they would be calling the rehab nurse back, but she had already left for the day! By this time it was 7:30pm! I told them that if they can't be trusted to answer phones or return calls, then they can't be trusted to fill numerous, essential meds. I'll go to another pharmacy. They were going to get numerous, monthly, EXPENSIVE prescription orders, but not now. Good job, team. read more

This has to be the slowest Rite aid around especially since the more efficient rite aid on broadway shut down. Ms. KAY unfortunately takes forever. She is the only person who can turn a none existing line into 10people deep. I have give Ms. KAY several chances. I have visited this pharmacy at least 4 times in the last 4 months. She is always the one covering the counter. She is slow, for example, a person before me was picking up 2 scripts. Ms. KAY has to go through the full 3 lines of scripts with no luck. Mind you checking every one slowly. Then comes back to check the computer. Confirms it says 2 them returned to all of the hanging scripts behind the counter and begins looking again. She finally finds them but mind you she is chatting it up with the techs behind the counter talking about how she would love to go on vacation and go zip lining. In my head I was yelling "don't distract her!!!" By this time the line turned into 8people. And what should have been a 5minute pickup turned into 20mins of standing in line waiting. No other people help out at the counter unless she asks and since she believes herself to be doing fine she does not ask for their aid. I can't waste my time coming back here anymore. read more

I give this store an extra star because employees have always been kind and helpful and this location is ALWAYS busy with a line. I love reading reviews when they mention a location or the store being ghetto. Hey! you chose the area so you can't blame the store I have always found what I am looking for and everything is easy to locate. The pharmacy has always been right on top of anything my mom needs and readily available to answer questions My overall experience has always been above average. Speaking of...I feel like an ice cream today. I love it that they still serve ice cream. read more

I use the pay as you go through their online app, that is supposed to say the customer time. However when I got there I still had to wait in the line just as a regular paying customer. When I explained that the app says that you can go directly to the counter or drive up if available, the clerk told me not here you still have to go through the regular line. The medications are not bagged and ready to go. I just don't think this is good customer service to offer an option and not actually utilize it for the customer. read more

Rite Aid - Rite Aid pharmacy - Drugstores Near Me - Spring Valley, California

In regards to the pharmacy: WORST experience every single time but I have to go here for prescription. There's always a MASSIVE line, and the associate helping is always extremely rude and dismissive, won't let you explain everything before interrupting you, etc. You can ask them to verify a medication manufacturer, be told yes it's the same as last month, and still get the wrong one. Nothing is ever fast, and none of them want to help. Try to prove you wrong before checking and seeing that they're wrong. read more

David in the pharmacy very rude and unwilling to help. I had a prescription sent over and apparently wasn't in system yet. He just shook his head and said "it's not here". When I asked him to re check he just kept saying it wasn't there. Didn't even ask the pharmacist to see if it had been faxed over. Which it was. It was waiting for the pharmacist to process. It was too much for him to just ask a simple question. No longer doing business with them. Taking my prescriptions to another pharmacy. So sad that simple customer service isn't part of training anymore. read more

I came by this location to pick up a few additional items I needed for a project I've been working on at work. I want to start of by saying that I get annoyed with employees who do not know what products they carry at their own place of employment. I needed to pick up some round wooden toothpicks, and after browsing a while and not being able to find the tooth picks, I stopped and ask a an employee if they had any. The lady told be they only had the plastic kind over at the dental aisle. Feeling frustrated, I gave up on the toothpicks and picked up a few other things I need. But, as I proceeded to the cash register, lo and behold, what did I see, a twin package of round wooden toothpicks for a buck. Hello people? Over here! In addition to the lack luster service, the place was a little disorganized. I was going to show the employee where the toothpicks were located, but I decided to be nice, pay for my stuff, and leave. read more

Rite Aid - a pharmacy with cars parked in front of it - Drugstores Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This location has the WORST pharmacy. Your doctor will call in the prescription and they won't process it. You can call them and ask them to process the order; yet, when you arrive you will still need to wait 30-40 minutes. All the pharmacist are turtle slow and couldn't care less about good customer service. Avoid the wait and go somewhere where they actually do their jobs efficiently. read more

Chloe and Bradley!!! Give them a raise! I love Bradley's honesty... and I love Chloe's sense of direction! You have GRRRRREAAAAAT EMPLOYEES!!! read more

Rite Aid - a hand holding a chocolate chip cookie - Drugstores Near Me - Spring Valley, California

The Pharmacy Tech working at the pharmacy on Sunday 1/16/22 has no urgency or professionalism. I can't believe Rite Aid would have someone like this in customer service, and handling cash. She enjoys to make people the elderly feel belittled. If she doesn't take pride in serving her community and working then she should choose a different career. Hopefully Rite Aid Management reads this and puts her through diversity and inclusion training. read more

So before driving down to Rite Aid I called to make sure they had organic cotton balls. The lady on the phone said I'm pretty sure we do but let me check just to be sure. I was on hold for 15 minutes then decided to leave the phone on my bed while I went to Rite Aid and get organic cotton balls and a few other errands. Long story short they finally got back to me over two hours later. read more

Rite Aid - the time and location of a phone call - Drugstores Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Do not use this pharmacy if you have more than one prescription to pick up. They very rarely give them all to you at once, even though they are all ready. This has happened to us multiple times, and the reason we switched pharmacies. The rest of the store is fine, though. read more

I keep coming here out of torture it seems.call to fill my prescription told it will take x amount if time. Get here even a bit after they said and they still dont have my medications ready. I wait about 30 minutes each time. They apologize but dont fix it. They should just be upfront about the wait, I dont want to stand around a pharmacy if I dont have to.this time they blame them administering vaccines of having to wait an additional hour than the one they stated. I'm done with this store and finally going to another pharmacy. read more

i go here every time I am in need of something that I forgot to get from the big-box retail stores or supermarkets. prices are a little bit steeper, but the shorter lines and efficient service makes it worth my time. I love this place, always well stocked. people are always smiling and willing to help find the items I need. I have lots of stories of times that employees have gone out of their way to assist me. Now most employees know who I am. Maybe they dont know my name but greet me and ask or refer to previous visits. It feels really good to know that these workers acknowledge and recognize their customers. read more

It was extremely busy night due to the holidays and my order was not processed because of the volume up prescriptions going through. Alen went above and beyond for me and I am truly appreciative read more

Waited almost 2 hrs for 3 prescription. They tell you it will take 10 mins but then an hour pass by and its still not ready. Give them more time and they say its still Not ready. Wasted time here when i could've gone to another pharmacy where they could've filled it faster. Pharmacist, Dung Nguyen, does not know what she is doing and is slow AF. She needs to get fired. read more

They try to do a million things at once, they need more technicians here to help fill the prescriptions took about 45 min to wait for them to acknowledge Me in order to fill my prescription. I just go there because it's closer to home but I'll find another pharmacy. read more

The pharmacy staff has some of the most rude people I've ever dealt with. Very negative attitudes to every customer. It's so sad to see people so miserable at their place of work. read more

I waited 1 hour in line for my prescription after placing it on the phone, I will never ever go back. Homeless people walking around the store, really in a time like this that should not happen. The line was crazy and they had one cashier and every time the pharmacist had to speak to someone we would have to wait 15 min. Really? The pharmacist should have taken the customer aside so others could get the hell out of there. Awful just awful. read more

There are maybe about 2 or three pharmacy staff members that are great. The rest seem to work with a chip on their shoulder.

Surprisingly clean and convenient. My problem with this store is that if you don't have a membership you miss out on fair prices. I paid $5.99 versus 3.99 for my ice cream because of it. On top of that the staff member helping out was doing two cash registers at once and it felt a bit odd. read more

The ladies in the pharmacy rock robin and her team thanks for such great service when a person needed it

Horrible service, called multiple times to check if my prescription was ready and they never picked up the phone, it happens every single time I have to pick up a prescription. If your doctor send the prescription electronically they won't process it until you come in.. I don't hear the phone ring or anyone on the phone, probably took it off the hook! read more

Hands down the best store in all of Spring Valley. The employees always greet you with a warm welcome,and their customer service us second to none. This is my go-to store for almost everything!!! read more

I got kicked out of the store, with both arms full, standing in line waiting to pay for my stuff. Doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Not talking to anyone, literally just standing there. If I was the store manager, and witnessed or even HEARD of what that employee did, he would have been fired ON THE SPOT. CONGRATS RITE AID... I will NEVER, EVER shop at another Rite-Aid for the rest of my life, unless I get an apology from at as least The district manager. It's pretty bad when a white guy gets racially profiled. read more

Went on a little road trip and stoped at this Rite Aid. They had great customer service at the register and knowledgeable staff that was able to help me find what I needed right away. The store was clean, well organized and stocked up. read more

I have all my family's prescriptions filled her and I have had no issues with the pharmacy. Very nice people.

Don't understand why it would advertise that it is open 24 hours, and be closed? Came here Thursday, February 1st at 11:00 pm. A woman wearing a rite aid shirt was getting in her car as I pulled up. Maybe closing earlier than they should be? read more

Rite Aid - Says Open 24 hours....It was closed. - Drugstores Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Pharmacy is RUDE and unhelpful. The most annoying thing is the attitude when having to talk to anyone in this department. I assume when dealing with peoples meds and educating them you should always be friendly and courteous. But here it's not the case. Only came here cuz I moved into the area. And I will no longer trust them for any of mine or anyone's I knows needs. Pls to some basic training in the department. read more

Do not get your prescription from here. Was told it would be only 45 min. It has now been 2 hours and still waiting for my prescription. Ikram who helped did nothing. I waited and she just left with out telling me anything. She was more worried about going home. Another person working the counter told they don't have the medication in stock. I have to wait till Monday. It is Friday today. It would of been nice of they told me an hour earlier instead of waisting my night at right aid. Very rude people working in the pharmacy. I don't recommend coming to this one read more

Great customer service ! I stopped in for some ice cream, because thriftys ice cream can't be beat, it brings me back to childhood summers. I was greeted and assisted without missing a beat. Mariana serviced me quickly, but most importantly it was without feeling rushed which is huge when it comes to customer service because it makes me feel like an individual,not just another customer receiving grey, robotic, stoic service. Two drippy ice cream covered thumbs up! Makes the ice cream that much sweeter. Thank you for keeping it personal, especially during these social distancing covid times, where people are treated less human and more like a walking disease. Smiling eyes and friendly demeanor go a loonngg loonng way, and she nailed it. read more

Loved this place. Staff at the pharmacy most especially the pharmacists are very nice people. Even when they are so busy , when you have a concern they'll spend time with you and not rushing you ! read more

Just when you need an Rx refilled...their phone system doesn't answer. Typically this happens here 3-4 times a year. The pharmacy might wonder why no one ever calls in refills for the entire day or two. It's because their phone system isn't answering ANY calls. Probably an easy fix...just reboot the thing. But I guess it's too much to ask. Try buying a more reliable computer that will answer the phone!!! So it's down the entire day...and none of them notice? read more

I grew up in this area and this shopping center can be a little sketch so take extra precaution when coming here by yourself, especially late at night. Always be aware of your surroundings. Anyway, I came here a little past midnight for a few snacks. We were warmly greeted by the security officer who was standing near the store entrance. As we walked in, we shivered a bit because it was cold and the security officer overheard us saying so and he kindly offered us his jacket. We, respectfully, declined, but appreciated his gesture. We walked around the store to grab our snacks. The aisles were clean and the shelves were fully stocked. I was surprised to find out that they still served ice cream, albeit not all the flavors were there. It's okay though... I'm not picky. I didn't catch the cashier/ associate's name, but she was friendly too. I go here from time to time if I need something when Albertson's is closed since this RiteAid is open 24 hours. *** Tip: Sign up for a Rite Aid member card so that you can receive the discounted price on a few items rather than paying full price (which is usually more than grocery store prices). read more
