Rite Aid

My review is only for my experiences with the night crew. Workers are slow. They chit chat. Aisles are messy with very little customer traffic. The only quick service is at the check out line. Management need a stronger night crew.

Terrible, terrible, terrible lines. Always and forever. How do you have somebody wait over an hour for a much needed prescription? Customer service is okay.

WORST pharmacy ever. The line to pick up is always a 15 – 20 minute wait. Why have two registers if there’s always only one person working?

I don’t know rite Aid doesn’t hire more people for the lines. This is an example of how chains don’t hire enough people for efficiency because they want to save money. But it screws the consumer and people who could use a job as well.

Rite Aide may need some right aide from an update.
Don’t come looking for something come ready to leave with something you didn’t except.
It has what a simple convenient store should have. I only come when I need to pick up something simple or small, but if I’m doing a Sunday shopping trip or just running in quickly I can find some good deals and sales.
If your looking for a lot of healthy options then it takes a good eye to look out for them, but they are there.
Pros:
Sales
Convenient
Overall good products
Cons:
Occasional long lines at rush periods
Lack of healthy options
Few rewards from the rewards program (If you do that thing)
Also: Rite Aide needs a update. The place is not that amazing and doesn’t have to be, but it needs some new life and shine that it’s really missing.
The rewards program hasn’t been all that rewarding either. I do come often and trust me having a Rite Aide card is essential if you plan to come often for the good sales, but the rewards don’t come that frequently unless you make a true effort to get them

Have always been able to get meds here. They are slow though, the lines are always too long. Most of the employees are friendly but a couple crazy customers come in here. Rite Aid can’t do much about that.

This still remains the worst drug store ever. I’ve been to countries considered «Third World «and the service was superior. The pharmacist were really knowledgeable and had the things we needed! (Ghana/​Belize) Honestly they need to either close it down or make it into a Walgreens. They never ever ever have the things that you need in the pharmacy when you need them. They don’t have basic medication,. What a stupid pharmacy. I wish their national office would do something about the store. They are the worst, the pharmacist don’t know anything, and they never have anything. What is the point? If they’re going to continue to underserved this community then they don’t deserve our business.

With a few exceptions, the employees are the actual worst. There are a few middle aged women who work the registers and are very kind and professional. There is an older man who works the floor who is always helpful as well. The rest of these people are not even capable of successfully performing one of the easiest jobs in the world.
I’m talking rolling your eyes at me when I smile and ask «how are you.» Letting the line roll alllll the way down the soda aisle with no change in pace at the register. Don’t even bother trying to buy anything they stock behind the registers. They do not care what you want and they will refuse to help you get it.
The pharmacy counter is simply an exercise in futility.

fire every employee
burn the store down
rebuild a new rite aid (with everything in the exact same spot)
train a team of raccoons to work the registers
rejoice!

Horrible Pharmacy: I went in to get my prescription filled and the pharmacist told me I had to wait till tomorrow. I asked why and she said incensed,“Well, there’s A LoT of other people in front of you and I don’t even know if I have it!”. (there were No people in Line or waiting in the, and this particular medication is very very common) Because this lazy women didn’t feel like doing her job I had to share my personal health condition In order to actually get her to do her job. Someone should never have to go through this and have to explain the severity of their condition to get their medications on time.
On the other hand I did have the best experience with another pharmacist there who guided me through my medications with ease. She knew what she was doing and took care special care of me.
Overall this pharmacy is horrific. With one exception they have never went explained my medications or given me common courtesy. they take forever to get your prescription filled. usually having to wait a day. They are lazy and rude. I am moving soon so luckily I will be getting another pharmacy.
As far as the store. There is an incredibly rude aggressive male manager and one young cash register girl who is very sweet. There is always a LONG line even though the store is well staffed. There is a parking lot which is nice for those few in new york who have a care. If you can avoid this place. Particularly the pharmacy.

The lines are always long, there are never enough cashiers and the staff is incredibly rude.

I was filling my meds, the pharmacist, Elaina or whatever then violated my rights & tried to embarrass me. My doctor aired her out for her assuming she knew anything in the medical field. Worst day of my life.
