The girl who wrote the review below me probably either works there, or is a friend of someone who did….because this CANT be the same rite-aid….
I wish this wasn't the only rite-aid in the immediate area – but like most yelpers on here that made their reviews, we're totally doomed. (I cant wait until the Walgreens being constructed across the street opens)
There is never enough staff working behind the registers. It is annoying and it upsets all the customers helplessly waiting on line. It's weird, because there will be about 2-3 people behind the registers at the same time, but only working.
Although, she probably means well, but the cash register lady that's near her time, is probably a former druggie with delayed work performances. It took forever to get rung up. She also pushes the rite aid wellness card on you as if shes threatening you. weird.
you can never really find staff on the floor…even if you do, they're clueless. There was only one guy that totally helped me one night pick put some facial wash and soap. that was the best help there. other then that…..
It's my local rite aid and it's 24 hrs now so that makes everything better just in case I need to go!
I'll usually come here if I can't make it to the CVS is Sheepshead Bay to get my birthday or other type cards and on the occasion for candy or holiday items like Christmas tree lights. I don't usually go to Rite Aids, but they seem to be more on the pricey side, but I like this Rite Aid more than the CVS on Bay Pkwy. The people are pretty nice and generally the store is cleaner.
This place also has its own parking lot and is close to the D train stop for anyone who's interested.
I'm curious to see what happens when the Walgreens across the street opens up.. Guess we'll see!
This place sucks. Be prepared to wait on the register line for 20+ minutes on any given day, due to the fact that they generally have only one cashier working at a time (because those other five employees really need to keep busy crushing empty delivery boxes and staring blankly at shelves that are already neatly stocked). In all fairness, I should mention that the cashiers have always been very friendly and my poor review is no reflection on them whatsoever. Not their fault the branch has crappy management. Also, I'd have given an extra star if not for the horrendous pharmacy within the store.
I will NEVER fill a prescription at this Rite Aid ever again. I've always filled my scripts here because it's close to my job and, therefore, allows me to make a quick run at lunch or after work without taking any serious detours. Like the front of the store, the pharmacy line is always slow and long, but I considered it a minor inconvenience. We're in a heavily populated city, I get it. I filled two scripts last Wednesday. They were short staffed and the pharmacist told me that while one was out of stock, the other was available and would be ready in an hour. I saw how hectic things were and told him I could come back the next day and not to worry about it (for which he seemed grateful). Fast forward nearly a week: I call this morning and ask if my other prescription is ready. The guy on the phone told me to come after 2:00. I show up at 3:15, wait on line for 17 minutes (but hey, who's counting? I was receiving minute by minute updates from the cranky elderly woman waiting behind me), and am told it would be five minutes. I go to the cosmetics section and hear my name being paged. I go up there, money in hand, thinking they had my prescription. NOPE. In fact, they don't have it at all! And guess what? They can't even tell me when they will have it! So now I get to wait an indefinite amount of time before receiving my medication. On top of that, there were no apologies or explanations.
