Insider Pages Reviews for Rite Aid
This isn't a bad pharmacy as long as you call in your prescription before you pick it up. Compared to other Rite Aids this is probably the best. It houses the biggest selection of common medications and to me the most knowledgable pharmacists. They also seem to respect your privacy, that seems to be a problem these days. Friendly staff and fair prices.

The prices are not very competitive, and worst of all, the check out is horrible. Very slow when there is a cashier, and I've actually had to wait several times for a cashier to show up. It's actually quicker to run into Pavilions next door.

This is a fine place to go if you need your prescription refilled. Not a long wait for medications and they have a phone line to call in your refills so you don't have to waste time driving to and from. The pharmacy staff is pretty friendly, they have to work on their confidentiality policies. One time they said my medication out loud and made fun of all the inhalers my partner takes. Could use a little etiquette practice.

Nice pharmacy, good store with lots of everything. The pharmacy is nice and well equiped with trained staff who are very friendly. One of the perks is the phone line where you can call in your prescription so you don't have to wait around. Located in a nice shopping mall for quick pick ups.

I used to belong to this pharmacy but I swithed much to late. I always waited in long lines and many times my prescriptions weren't even ready when I went to pick up my orders. I also found that the staff wasn't responsive to my suggestions about how to improve their system. I transfered our prescriptions to a different pharmacy and now I am very happy.
