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 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.

This Rite Aid is my go-to drugstore. It's clean , the staff is friendly and they always have my…read morefavorite ice cream options to take home. The ice cream counter is still in operation but they now have limited flavors. Not all the awesome options Thrifty had when I was a kid. However, I can still find my favorite flavors in their ice cream freezer section. I use the pharmacy here and most of the staff is friendly. I encountered a very unhelpful and condescending Pharmacist (female ) that was working there one evening. I returned the following day and thankfully there was a different pharmacist there , his name is Brian who was very helpful and kind. The pharmacy has an automated refill system for maintenance medications. I get a text automatically letting me know when my prescriptions are ready. I can pay on the app and have my meds delivered or I can pick them up. This is a huge convenience for me. The one concern about this location is parking lot safety at night. It is extremely dark. It would be great if the city or the business would install more lighting. It would be more secure when visiting this store in the evening.

Anyway, generally there were no hiccups but the wait is always long even though we always made an appointment online. I would say that we would regularly wait around 20-30 minutes before we actually got called in for the shot. Also, the staff isn't rude but they also aren't very polite. If anything they are more on the less polite side if anything. Even though we submit everything online for our appointment, we're always questioned about the same information, such as "Did you make an appointment online?" "Is this the first shot?" etc, etc., I mean, all of this information is given when you make the appointment online, so if they took the time to just look, they wouldn't have to ask these questions in some accusatory manner, like we didn't do something right. Anyway, for that, I'm giving it lower stars. Also, parking in their parking lot can be challenging since many spots are for specific stores so be careful to look carefully when parking.
