Nothing can be more frustrating that visiting a pharmacy, right? Thankfully, it's usually an…read morealright experience for me. I've visited a few times and even gone through the drive-thru in the past. So onto attempt #1: I came to the pharmacy on a weeknight and immediately after entering, I see from the entrance a half dozen people in line. Ugh. Nevermind. I turned around and left. Attempt #2: Came back the next morning and it was thankfully not crowded. There was just another person talking to a pharmacist as I got into line. Waited a minute and was able to talk to the pharmacist. Asked a few questions and paid for what I needed and left. Free at last! So overall, couldn't get what I needed immediately but just being flexible can save some aggravation.

The male pharmacist, Bryan C. in the white-coat, said would not approve my prescription based soley…read moreon the fact he doesn't trust my doctor. He needs to be let go. This was my first time using any pharmacy for my new prescription for my recent diagnosis with ADHD. When I stoped by on Aug. 15th, Saturday, around 4:00pm, Bryan C. helped me at the Consultant window inside the store. He looked me up and down like I was a criminal, and I felt judged and profiled. It is my first time picking up a prescription for this medication as I was only recently diagnosed by my doctor. Bryan C. asked me personal questions like, "Why is my doctor so far away?" "Where do you live now?" "Have you lived with near your doctor before?" He seemed like he wanted to play detective instead of help me with filling my prescription. He basically told me "Since you don'y have medical insurance, I don't trust you." He told me I NEED to get medical insurance. He told me he doesn't trust my doctor based off the 2 minutes of speaking to me, as if he knows more than an actual psychiatric doctor. Bryan C. denied my prescription even though it was in the CVS system. He verified it, but since my doctor is not close by, Bryan chose to judge and profile me. I already have a new appt. to see my doctor now because I need my prescription sent somewhere else. I will never use CVS for my future medication because of this guy Bryan C.

I decided to go over to Bright Pharmacy to have a conversation with Patrick the Pharmacy manager…read moreabout my desire to switch my prescriptions away from a big box store. The number one thing everyone should think about is that the better relationship you have with your pharmacy, the better they can help you. Patrick couldn't have been nicer, kinder, and gave me the confidence to make the change. The day I went to fill my 1st script, Patrick wasnt working and had to deal with Roy the other pharmacist. Had the same conversation about my history and medical issues. 2 for 2!!! He was just as kind, and gave me the reassurance that relationships with patients matter. Tip to all: if you want a good experience, take a moment to introduce yourself and help them get to know you. Just like any good physician, make an effort to help them get to know you and they'll show you what it means to be a good neighborhood pharmacy! Thank you all very much, you now have a new member of the Bright Pharmacy family for life!!! If you've ever had experiences at a big store pharmacy that made you wonder....is there a better way to get your scripts filled? Bright Pharmacy is the place to go!

I hate this place. Or more accurately I resent it. Years ago it was my little community pharmacy…read morebut the decline was sharp. At first they took away the coffee shop I loved so much, that I had been going to since I was 4 years old, but then they got taken over by the 986 chain and suddenly the pharmacy techs who I'd been seeing my whole life were gone. The lady who had a daughter the same age as mine was gone. It became so cold and sterile. And incredibly unprofessional. Last time I picked up was a disaster. I had to call them to pick up my meds- they wouldn't prep them until I called them which is wild, that's never how it used to work. Then, when I went to pick up my meds, when I got home I noticed I was missing a script. I called them and asked what happened and they told me they were out so they didn't fill it. That couldnt have been mentioned ONCE at pickup???? Great, thanks. Now I'm out my meds... thank goodness I had some extra at home. And forget using your FSA/HSA card. They always run it wrong. Last time I had a balance of 3k and they told me I was out of funds. I said "absolutely not, try again, my app says I have 3k" and they ran it again and of course it went through. But it always takes several tries of several employees here (but not at Whittier community....). Anyways, this used to be my go to pharmacy- and now it's just horrid. Never returning....

I have a strange relationship with this Rite Aid. It's not the closest one to where I grew up, but…read moreback when it was a Thrifty, we would come for the ice cream sometimes. The Rite Aid transformation happened whenever it happened, and despite that, this Rite Aid seemed less like a drugstore and more like a large convenience store or small general store. Of course, most Walgreenses and CVSes feel like that now, but this was back in the day, and it was a little bit surprising. I've bought replacement Christmas-light bulbs here more often than I'd like to mention. (Our family continued using the old large incandescent bulbs long after everyone else had switched to faux icicle strings and early LEDs, and Rite Aid was the only place we could find the colored bulbs in the right size.) I've also bought a rake, dill (on sale--for some reason they often have sales on spices), water balloons, water guns, super bouncy balls, and all kinds of candy from here. The store looks like a supermarket without the produce. It's been years since I've come for the original ice-cream experience, although I did buy a half-gallon of Thrifty ice cream from the freezer in 2020, at the height of the pandemic. There never seem to be enough employees working, and the ones who are working tend to take their time. They're friendly enough, and just based on the strange questions and customer behavior I've seen here, I don't think this is the most enjoyable place to work. Did I mention the candy? Like most places these days, they have a really wide selection, especially of the largest sizes. But if you come immediately after Halloween, you'll be amazed at just how badly they want to get this candy off their shelves. The deals feel almost criminal, like you're buying stolen merchandise.

Just great customer service. As for management, your store feels unsafe. Idk if you're trying to cut costs but you really need a security guard at the front. A bunch of druggies coming in and out. Makes your customers feel unsafe. And we are already paying an arm and a leg for something we can get at target for half the price. DO BETTER.

I really like the promotions and cash rewards they offer -- they're such a great deal and help customers save money. The store was nice and clean, and the employees were very friendly and welcoming with smiles. One employee named Fernando was especially helpful, polite, and professional while assisting me with my items. When he noticed there were about 3 customers waiting in line, he immediately opened another register to help everyone faster. When I paid, my reward paper slip didn't print, but Fernando kindly explained that there was a computer issue. He apologized and even offered to add the points directly to my card instead. The other employees were very nice too. I felt comfortable shopping and picking up my online order at this store. I definitely recommend this location to my friends and family

130 pm, Friday, July 3, 2026…read more I can see why this Walgreens has two stars. I stopped by here because it was the closest one near Whittier Ocean Honda. I thought I was slick thinking I'd save time rather than going to the ones in La Habra or La Mirada. I was taking a risk as I didn't know if any locations had the Accu-chek Guide Starter Kit. I walked to the rear of the store to the pharmacy. I thought great no line, but the waiting customers were hidden behind the aisle shelving! I'm already here, just get in the back of the line and wait my turn. FYI, it's the holiday weekend. If your prescription isn't already in the system, save time and come back on a regular business day. My prescription wasn't able to be transferred from the mail order pharmacy. Thank you to Jennifur, the pharmacy manager. You get 5 stars for customer service. You went the extra mile as I wasn't local to your pharmacy. I appreciated this a lot even though I didn't come away with a new glucose meter.
