Rite Aid

Typical convenience/​drugstore without any extra frills. Expect to find whatever you need by yourself, because most of the workers are usually standing around chatting or wandering aimlessly from aisle to aisle.
Prices are the same as the other stores, sometimes you can catch a good sale. A lot of people seem to be upset about lack of customer service, but to be honest I don’t come expecting to get any so I’m never disappointed.

This place is the WORST. The worst. There, if you are somehow actually reading this BEFORE going, you’ve been warned. You’ll have no one to blame but yourself.

false advertising. they put a price sticker on an item and charged me 16+% more. When I inquired about this, the cashier (who also claimed to be the manager) stated that the stcker price was a sale price for «card members only. When I further inquired as to why this information was not indicated on the price tag, he replied «that’s been our policy for 10 years. When I asked where I could file a complaint, he reinerated his store policy. When I again asked about filing a complaint he responded, «I don’t have to answer that».

If I could give this shit hole a –50 I would. The other day I went in to simply get toilet paper. After a trying morning with my 3 year old i was fed up he kept running off. It was one of those mornings where your child does not listen to a word you say. I enter this crap heap of a store and again he runs off. I say to him multiple times come back here, stop running around, stop running away. Meanwhile, being 8 months pregnant with two shopping bags in my hand I was fed up and quickly ran to get toilet paper while he ran around the aisles acting like a wild animal. I grab the TP and quickly got back to grab him so I can pay and leave. I go towards the front of the store and there is a mob around my kid who is sobbing, i take his hand and say it’s ok. As I walk past the people (who I guarantee none were parents or had toddler and mooch off of the government) start openly attacking me saying these horrible things: how could you «abandon your child», he could of been kidnapped, its kidnapping season, he could of run out on the road. This was all said to me by at least three grown men in there 50−60s and 3 – 4 women who looked homeless or like they were on medicaid. They were so vicious in fact that they continued to humiliate me in public. One of the morons threatened me by saying «we have cameras in here», this toothless women who looked homeless kept jabbering on, and this eastern european prostitute said «she’s right he could have run onto the road». So, while all the inbreds were standing around looking at my son, not one of these mean, rude, horrible, judgemental, uneducated morons gave a helping hand to a woman who clearly needed some help. You could have a) taken my son’s hand and found me in the toilet paper aisle b) lent a helping hand to me by offering to carry my bags or c) at least offered a very pregnant lady some form of assistance or a kind word. But no, instead not one of these uneducated American pieces of shit came to my defence, NO one came to find me, and no one really consoled my son just frightened him even more. And to the owner, manager or who ever the fuck you are who threatened me with camera footage: If you walked in my shoes for one day or spent a week being a mother to an almost three year old, while also almost ready to give birth you wouldn’t be so quick to judge. In Australia this would never happen because people are kind. Mothers make mistakes, and nothing happened to my kid, and I DID NOT «abandon» him as one of the fucks so eloquently put it. I am boycotting all rite aids and will never again shop at this store. Shame on all of the staff and patrons of this establishment for not in the least showing compassion, a kind word, or remorse for what you said to me. This store is full of inbreds, uneducated, idiotic, toothless wankers who mooch off the government and have nothing else better to do than shop at rite aid. And this includes the staff who didn’t even say a word. GUTLESS!!!

This store is terrible. The workers don’t care about their job or customers. I almost always end up waiting in line while one cashier rings and 3 – 4 other workers stand behind the counter chatting. I think every time I’ve bought something here the price has been different from the sign too. They forget to take down the old sale signs and put up new ones before they are valid.

Very good store open ²⁴⁄₇. Nice selection of magazines & garden stuff and pharmacy is great!

This store opens kind of late for a pharmacy but it’s the only full service drug store for a few blocks. They have all the essentials: makeup, food, pharmacy, and random items. The place isn’t huge and doesn’t always have everything you need, like the occasional fake eyelashes for a night on the town but overall it fits my needs.
My issue is there is always a line to check out. This location has been open for years, you would think they would be able to effectively schedule enough associates for the busier hours, but they do not.
I am sad to say I definitely prefer the Duane Reade on 86^th it’s just impossible to find parking over there.

I got my passport size photo taken yesterday. I needed to apply online so I scanned the photo that they had taken and cut to passport size. I came home, scanned the photo and tried to upload in photo validator, it didn;t upload because it was not 600×600, they had given me a photo of size 564×578 so my money and time went as a waste. I could not use the photo. I will have to go to walgreens today and see how they do. I am never getting my passport size photos in Right Aid again.

Mary from the pharmacy area is so nice… she speaks nicely to everyone and really makes the time waiting pleasant!!! Will come back because of this.

One of the nicer looking Rite Aids around the Bay Ridge area. Everything is neatly stocked. They have a pharmacy in the back and give out free flu shots. Customer Service is basically non-​existing. They will pretend they don’t hear you if you ask for help or pretend they don’t work here.

The service used to be really good here, but several times in the past couple of month the staff has been confused about the new credit card readers, which seem to have a technical glitch. Sometimes (but not all the time), they tell me after ringing up my purchase and having me swipe my card that they can’t do cash back because of this glitch. On a couple of occasions, the cashier did some sort of manual operation to make it work. If there’s an issue with the card readers, I would expect Rite Aid to consider it a priority to fix the issue *before* the passage of two months. If there’s an issue with staff’s understanding of the card readers, I would expect Rite Aid to train that staff in fewer than 2 months.

The inventory in this Rite Aid is really lacking. They are always out of things –sometimes you can find what you need, but dont’ count on it! It is a pretty high traffic place so they need to keep on top of what is selling out and keep a good supply. The pharmacists are good and usually can get something for you right away — the managers are nice and Ive never had an issue returning anything — and the cashiers are helpful, but they never seem to have what I need. The photo center is the pits — the machines have been broken for months.

Ug! This is the saddest Rite Aid. Inside it’s gloomy and dingy — I even saw some graffiti on one of the displays. Sad! Clean that bugger up! And the aisles are always overflowing with unpacked boxes. I understand there’s an inventory day, but inventory month (s)? It really makes it inconvenient to get to what you need once you find it. I keep coming back here because I’m lazy and it’s close to my apartment. This store could be nice. Don’t give up!
