Rite Aid

Came here with my old rite aid card and they said I have to update to a new one… so I said ok. So I asked how do I do that and the cashier says we no longer take new members.
My question to corporation is — what happen after this generation is gone? Rite aid gone too? Or they just stop having the reward cards?

Unlike other Rite Aid locations based primarily on my relevant to a customer experience, this one has plenty of parking, is not ever crowded & they are well stocked with inventory & no homeless people accosting you for change in front of the store either!
Yes, that has ceased for now-​nice job management!
Also, the staff are really nice & helpful, and I like stopping in here after I gas up at the ARCO on Atherton & Bellflower Blvd-​the cheapest gas in LB-​$ 2.45 a gallon (never thought I’d see the day when I would say that was cheap for gas!)
Never the less, this location to other businesses like Ross, Marshall’s, Von’s among many others and, with an In & Out Burger across the street is an enticing draw too.
I find pretty much in a pinch stuff right here, (especially their vodka selection too) without the hassle of parking, beggars & the nice selection compared to other locations.
Upon check out based primarily on my relevant to a customer experience I side eyed this little gem
, gave it a thought, and got a 20% discount for buying it from the store as is.
I thought it best to show my PC awareness (a la Tosh. O) in such tense times, so it sits proudly in front of my building atop the roof covered by an awning (getting Brotha Santa up there and attached was tricky but, we did it!)
Look, Rite Aid is a Rite Aid, is a Rite Aid, and yes, sometimes this store is lacking in some items and has a plethora of items more than needed, like more from Mother from Son cards for any occasion, but I find every time I go, I end up with just what I need.
I miss the old Blood Pressure machines, these new ones are hateful, you have to create an account, log in, and then watch a horrible video of a man with shingles on his face
yes that will give me an accurate reading!
Now staying with the theme of being PC this Christmas, I thought it only fitting to end this review with the real reason I bought that Santa, and she was smok’in hot in her day & until she died-​Merry Christmas-​NOT Happy Holidays from MP:

I hope that the corporate rite aid sees this… I was just in this store with my two service dogs and some guy who works there tried to kick me out of the store because my service dogs weren’t wearing a special color highlighting my disability. It’s not allowed in California to ask more than «are they service animals?» And he took it really far by arguing with me in the middle of the store. I dropped my stuff and walked out of that horrible experience. I shop there all the time with my arrive dogs the entire crew knows me, so for this jerk to treat me this way is awful. I’m absolutely mortified of the experience and will walk the extra block to cvs with my service dogs and never shop here again.

I had the worst customer service! They are out of ice cream and I asked if they can open ice cream from there freezer because I just wanted one scoop not a whole gallon and the manager Barbra said no we will not open any ice cream. Wow this is the BEST way to turn business away! I will never return here! Better service in Belmont shores Riteaide!

Dear Rite Aid,
Thank you for providing the every need to my sweet tooth.
I also want to thank you for the sweet register guy that always helps me with my ice cream selection. I wish I knew his name. For now, we will call him cashier# 55 259 890 (per my receipt) Good job to who ever hired that big teddy bear looking employee.
I really appreciate that you always have my favorite ice cream in stock. I think you do this just for me? yes? I knew it!
Please don’t ever get rid of the award winning old fashioned Thrifty ice cream. Ever.
Thank you for the delightful staff, short lines, quick service and clean store.
Love always,
Cavity Queen O.

Stopped in for ice cream. We were treated to unusually great customer service. Daniel had such a pleasant attitude and was kind to our group. We all left feeling great! The ice cream was great too.

Took a bit to figure out how to redeem my coupon for a passport photo. I’m positive that 99% of employees would have just given up and I would have been SOL. However, Barbara does know what it is to provide proper customer service and made the extra effort. Much appreciated.

Love this rite aid it’s cheap and all the workers are nice Nancy Barbra,
Had and issue around Christmas time I got over charged by 75 $ for a purchase tht I changed my mind on all I had to do was talk to the manager they didn’t even mind tht I didn’t have a receipt just had to show him my bank statement and was able to get a full refund

This Rite Aid is awesome. It’s huge and the people working there are friendly and helpful. I needed passport photos and was in and out in 10 minutes. They have ice cream for sale by the scoop or by the gallon. There’s a huge selection of random products and they really give CVS (next to Ralph’s) a run for their money. The store is at LEAST 20 times the size of the CVS with 20 times the amount of products to choose from.
Get the pistachio ice cream. Nuts are delicious. :)

Employees don’t seem to be to happy working here.
When we walked in they didn’t seem too busy, but the man behind the counter seemed grumpy.
Ice cream is labeled wrong. Very disappointing for my 7 year old niece who can read but can’t see over the counter to see what is behind the glass.
It only takes a minute to change the label rite aid! Just do it.

The personnel were nice enough but the photo department is clearly not something they’re used to operating. They ran out of ink and would be for two weeks right in the middle of my order. Also the promo code I used online was not applied to my order so when I tried to pay in person for my half order my cashier had to wait for a manager to come and give permission to use a special code. In the end I got a bunch of prints for cheap but I’m still missing several I will need to order elsewhere. Just such an inconvenience for something that should have been so simple.

Went here for some beer. When I got to the front of the line the Horse-​Donkey behind the counter asked me for my identification. She takes it and starts grinding it back and forth through her card swipe machine. She was murdering the card like she was mad. I asked if what she was doing was necessary. She responds «I have to do this.» I tell her that she can read the numbers off my card and enter it manually. After she manages to remove most of the magnetic stripping from my card, she finally enters the numbers in her POS.
But, wait! She just explained to me that she could not enter the numbers manually and then she started doing just that.
Lie to my face! Damage my property!

Great service at this pharmacy. I’ve only had good experiences here, short wait for my scripts, phone call refill reminders, no BS. FYI RIte Aid has good prices on beer too!

yea. i hate to say ghetto but i go out of my way to avoid this one. yet the area is fine. it’s like you step into a 90s liquor store when you walk in.

Duuude the ice cream chick tried to skimp me out of my full three scoops of mint n chip in my waffle cone! I want that thing to be a gigantic tower that’s going to be a huge mess… and I will it eat alllll! I wonder why all my friends call me a fatty…
And why does it seem to taste better just cause they scoop it with their oddly shaped ice-​cream-​scoop contraption?

This review is about one thing at Rite Aid and one thing only. Thrifty’s Ice Cream! I would give Thrifty’s Ice Cream 10 Stars if I could. The flavors are great I stick with the classics, Chocolate Malted Crunch and Mint and Chip. If for some reason they are out of those or I want to change things up a bit. Black Cherry, Rocky Road, or Rainbow Sherbert do their magic. I cant take this review anymore I need to go get some ice cream. BONUS its often on sale for 99 cents for a single scoop. I’ll take mine in a cake cone please!

I am really starting to hate Rite Aid with a passion. Just when I think the Rite Aid in my area completely blows, I find one that is even worse. On the surface this one LOOKS nicer, but in fact the employees are even dumber here. Well, I shouldn’t say ALL of them are, because I didn’t deal with all of them, but the cashier AND the manager defintely were. It is amazing to me how people who can’t read are allowed to work with money. I wrote a letter to corporate, but I doubt they will care about poor customer service since so many of their employees are rude and incompetent, but the next best thing is Unilocal

Skip this Rite Aid, it’s the worst location in a pretty good chain. This store is huge, you’d think they would keep things stocked or have a good selection. But they don’t. It’s just wider aisles with shorter shelves that the other Rite Aids, and I think somehow less selection. I go to any other Rite Aid, the one in Belmont Shore is great. Polite, competent people. Or Albertson’s next door will have anything you need.
I tried to return their own RiteAid tooth whitening strips. They weren’t working as well as Crest. The manager at this store flat out refused to do it, because I had opened the box. I had to try the product to see if it worked as well as the name brand, and I didn’t use it all up and try to get money back. The back of the box says that Rite Aid guarantees customer satisfaction because they are sure their imitation of a name brand is good. He still would not stand behind their product.
I took it to 2^nd street and the clerk very politely gave me a refund. Any other Rite Aid is usually polite, clean and functional — I also visit the Naples Island and Broadway @ Cherry Rite Aids — but will never bother with that crappy store at Ximino and Atherton again.

Not a whole lot going on here. The cashier was nice and seemed really bored.
Keep doing what your doing! And thats not much…
