It feels like they go out of their way to make sure their customers know their customers are inconveniencing them. One pharmacy tech, whose first name starts with a J, not long ago, spent forever ranting about how much he hates his life and how he would off himself if it wasn't for his cat. No lie. Tonight was just the last straw for me as I waited at the drive through for 15 minutes before even being helped at all other than one time when they said "we'll be with you in a few minutes". The pharmacy staff is appalling and just one more example of why Rite Aid will eventually go completely out of business. You know who's great? AMAZON PHARMACY. I'm completely done with them.

Rite Aid has never made an error with my prescriptions, never overcharged me, or flogged me off. It's heartbreaking to see so many jobs lost and the glut of vacant stores. All due as a result of corporate failures. I was shocked when Rite Aid moved to acquire Bartells. They were in no position to burden themselves with more debt and responsibilities. Rite Aid acquired Thrifty Payless after Thrifty tried to borrow their way out of trouble. Rite Aid knew better than to repeat that mistake. They literally witnessed and took advantage of Thrifty foolishly burdening the struggling company with more debt buying out virtually bankrupt Thrifty Payless/Pay-N-Save. It is impossible to borrow you way out of debt without a viable plan. Expanding the footprint of struggle stores only results in rapid collapse. I don't know how the acquisition of Bartells went through. Two struggling pharmacy chains - drowing in debt, with suppliers cutting them off, are supposed to magically merge into a debt free company? Nope. A 10 yo peeking at their books would have said this is insanity. Especially given the state and demands of their aging stores and seriously burdensome payroll demands exacerbated by pandemic induced record inflation. Add to this consumers shifting to free delivery of copay free meds via insurance company subsidiary pharmacies, cheaper meds with free delivery via Walmart, Amazon, and others, and the general shift away from brick and mortar. Without significant investment in home delivery, Rite Aid could never climb out of their debt hole. The financials and operations at CVS are unknown to me. What I do know is, If they do not have the infrastructure to provide free home delivery at competitive prices, I do not see their standalone drugs store surviving. Consumer loyalty has given way to convenient and cheapest. Which to most under 40 is Amazon, and to a lesser degree Walmart. Tragically, Amazon can afford to undercut everyone. Regulators need to break Amazon up. They're destroying local economies. I'll save that for later.. afterall this is a review of now defunct Rite Aid. Haha

Poor service, rude techs! I went in today to pick up prescriptions and stood there unacknowledged…read morefor quite a while before they even acknowledged me and went to get my prescriptions. They were then rude about it instead of acknowledging their mistake in not telling me why they would not fill one of them. It was not my fault but rather that they just didn't fill it or didn't contact the doctor as they should've. Still not sure because I'm trying to get in touch with my doctor. I've been getting prescriptions filled here for many years and have seen how things have gone downhill since Rite Aid took over. Now we are losing the second drugstore we have had in our neighborhood in the last few years. The other was a Rite Aid. Clearly this company does not know how to conduct business if all of their stores are failing! I can see why the store has gone downhill. Half the time your prescriptions are not filled on time or if you try to give them extra time so they are not rushing to get it done, when you go in a couple days later, they have not bothered to fill it and you are left standing around the store for 20 minutes waiting... which is exactly what you tried to prevent by calling your prescription in several days in advance and telling them it was not a rush. Apparently if I don't say it's a rush you will not fill it at all? They also no longer allow you to pay ahead using the app or refill the prescriptions on the app meaning everyone is using the same pen and pad to sign on because apparently Covid has taught us nothing? They have no wipes and no hand sanitizer and make no effort to clean it so it's a pretty disgusting set up. I'm thoroughly unimpressed and hope a new pharmacy will go into that space because it's not working for us to continue losing pharmacies while the population is continuing to grow.

When the cashier rang the items up, the Almond Roca came in at $0.74, it had been a while since I got this quantity of the product packaged this way for that price. The parking lot was moderately easy to maneuver in and the store front was easy to spot. Workers in the store were friendly, even greeting customers as we entered the store.
