Rite Aid

Every time I walk into this place, it’s to hit up their convenience food section, because I’m too lazy to go to Vons for my white people basics. The atmosphere is pretty depressing tbh, but there’s ice cream. Pros: helpful employees. Cons: when you get asked for your rite-​aid rewards card, which rewards you with dick. I really couldn’t give a crap, but at the same time take pity on that cashier because you know they probably get scolded or threatened in the break room for not meeting their transaction % quota so their business can track your purchasing habits by zip code. For real though, good ice cream.

Customer service here is a ZERO.
I was standing by the ice cream waiting to get noticed because obviously I wanted ice cream, and the older lady with orange/​brown hair by the cash register looked at me and said, «we don’t sell ice cream, because we just brought it out from the fridge, and it takes time to defrost.» So she basically shooed me away.
I look back into the ice cream tank, and I see that the ice cream buckets have scoop marks in them, meaning THEY’VE BEEN OUT.
So my assumption is that the lady was LAZY, and didn’t want to scoop me some ice cream, or she couldn’t find someone else to do it??? But hey! Your loss, never coming back here for simple ice cream!!!
Also the bathrooms are Seriously really gross!

DO NO USE THE PHARMACY HERE!!!
WORST SERVICE EVER.
After being transferred from the Albertson’s /​Haggen’s Pharmacy a month or so ago, I have experienced more trouble than ever expected!
The Pharmacy staff is not helpful and never took any initiative to solve the issues with my prescription that was transferred.

This Rite Aid location is just average. It is definitely in need of a make over. I only come here to pick up my prescription. Some of the Rite Aid’s in San Diego County have been remodeled and I hope this one is next.

Gross, buyer beware on ice cream! I just watched a lady handle her eggs, put them in the back and come back to the front to handle the ice cream. No hand washing! How about a happy serving of bacteria! typical drug store otherwise, not very knowledgeable employees that ignored me till I had stood at the front for a while. Sigh.. . Not a big deal but it Gave me time to see the lady serving ice cream.

3 reasons why I believe rite aid exists in my life…
1. Pineapple coconut ice cream
2. Pistachio ice cream
3. Chocolate malted crunch ice cream
Go here when the ice cream is BOGO! Or just come in to buy a scoop of ice cream and be on your merry way.
If you haven’t noticed, I only go here for the ice cream. Try it!

Standard overpriced drug store. I bought a pair of super basic flip flops (on sale for $ 2.50), some orthotics for my work shoes ($ 13), and bought a couple boxes of generic crystal light ($ 1 each, also for work!).
I thought about buying other stuff– things I need (dry cat food, pill holder keychain, eyeliner brush, etc.) but I saw the prices and said «Nah, it’s time to hit up WALMART or AMAZON!». I only bought the things I Really needed. It would be great if smaller drug stores could compete w/​the prices of the bigger companies but they generally don’t.
Buying items at Rite Aid or Walgreens is like going grocery shopping at 711. We all KNOW it’s a rip-​off, but I came today for the convenience factor. There are no deals, rarely sales, but at least CVS does the «Extra Bucks» thing.
The people who worked here were pleasant & 3 different ppl offered to help me. They DO have a bathroom here in back left so that’s nice.
+1 customer service
+1 saved me trip to HELL-​MART
+1 they have ice cream!!! So YUM
–2 for being overpriced & having no real customer incentive program. LAME!

Abraham is the best in customer service!!! Patiently & Helped me with my plenti activation… This branch is awesome staff…

Ice cream and lotto the only things I buy here if in the area. Parking is easy and the store isn’t self is always clean but looks like they need more staff to ring people up.

I don’t really shop here but this review is for the Thrifty’s Ice Cream section over there. Ice cream selection is pretty basic but it’s too bomb to pass up when I’m in the area feeling like getting some ice cream in my system.

Worst pharmacy ever. I have been here several times and have had many prescriptions called in hours in advance. And always always they never have it ready or they say they never got the message from the doctor. The problem is they are so slow and are on their own time. They don’t care. I’m so over this place and will never come back here again. I have had it! Don’t come here, run.

I love this pharmacy! They always have my prescription ready and the staff is always friendly. The store is kinda all over the place (messy) but I can live with that. I don’t do my shopping there anyways!

We had the best service recently by Brett! Not only did he serve my family and I the best ice cream ever he gave great customer service. Wish more places had people like Brett working there!

I avoid patronizing this store whenever possible. The few times I did go in there:
~Very little customer service, mostly at the registers since you almost never see anyone on the floor to give any kind of customer service.
~Poor stocking of products. Two separate occasions they did not have what I needed, once I couldn’t find anyone to ask, and once the person simply said «what’s out is what we have», as if there’s nothing in the store room but dusty shelves and the occasional tumbleweed.
~If there’s one or more people in front of me in the checkout line, I will definitely have to wait a while. I have yet to encounter a cashier with either good customer service skills or any desire to get their customers out in a timely fashion.
It kind of seems like the people who work there hate their jobs and could care less about the customers. If I can help it, I will not set foot in there again.

As jailbait, I’ve always bought my massagers here and nobody ever questioned my motives.
P. S. Ice cream still yummy.

Pharm guys are knowledgable and quick. The lines are usually short, and that’s great because too many people in line and my anxiety starts freaking

Why hasn’t this store been closed by Board of Weights and Measures? All high star reviews are from years ago. Their new pricing is beyond confusing and probably is illegal. There are no less than 3 prices for anything you want to buy.
I went in for ice cream. Just one carton. They cheat on the half gallon, which is not quite that size any more. Then you have to by 2/6.00, or $ 3.49 for one. Bring one up, and it rings up $ 4.99. Says it’s because I don’t have the «right» card. They aren’t allowed to scan the «right» card for you. Plus the clerk was a real b&*$h about it.
Everybody who works there now is either scared, angry, or both.
Spend your money in a store that at least doesn’t try to cheat you every which way.
Don’t go here!

Rite-Aid’s a’ight. The only reason I step foot into a Rite-​Aid is for a double scoop of Thrifty ice cream. I’m more of a CVS girl. It’s funny because it looks like most of the reviews about Rite-​Aid are about the Thrifty ice cream. What does that say about the business as a whole?
There’s nothing spectacular about this location, but there is one negative: it’s in Mira Mesa in the same parking lot as Seafood City. That place gets cRoWdEd and parking is obnoxious. Sneak in through the Popeyes way and you’ll be better off.

Do people only come here for the ice cream? Because that’s pretty much the only reason I do…
Back in the day, when this place was called Thrifty Drug Stores, this was the place to go. Nowadays, this Rite Aid needs a serious makeover, especially compared to CVS and Walgreen’s. That’s right, even Walgreen’s is a bit better than this Rite Aid location.
The only reason this place is getting a three-​star rating from me is the ice cream. Yes, while the ice cream isn’t as good as Baskin-​Robbins or Ben & Jerry’s, there’s just something about Thrifty ice cream that just gets me right here… especially if pistachio nut is available! However, while I got my ice cream, it took a few minutes for someone to scoop my order (I should mention that every time I come here, this place is understaffed).

you SCREAM, and I SCREAM, we ALL SCREAM for ICE CREAM!!!
I had the chance to come here Saturday. After a night of torture of hanging out with a couple who is way PDA and the girl paints on her face with make up, my other half decided to take me out to ice cream to make it up to me haha.
Don’t you remember those rectangular cardboard containers that were filled with ice cream? The price used to be $ 2.50, but now only some of the flavors are $ 2.50 and the rest of them are $ 3.50! What!!!
I decided to get my favorite flavor of ice cream. COCONUT PINEAPPLE! yummmy! Taste like I’m in hawaii! Don’t forget to always ask for a sugar cone… none of that starchy, plastic cardboard regular cone crap. The lady was super nice and even filled up the cone with ice cream before she scooped our ice cream on top. I LOVE how the ice cream is not a round shape but rectangular.
For $ 1.29 a for a GIANT scoop of ice cream… my disdain for that couple left me and was drowned with the sweetness and sugary goodness of ice cream.
p. s. only in San Diego can you have ice cream at 9:00pm at night in January
