“I had a script to pick up. Normally I get them by mail but I had one my doctor wanted me to start now. Store is always clean, of course no tp which is standard nowadays. Very few customers and all had their masks on an stayed far apart. Clerk up front, because I had to buy candy and milk, was very cheerful.Reason for the 4 is l have an unusual insurance. Last time I got a script there was after they changed from Rite Aid to Walgreens. All records from before the takeover were gone so the very nice pharmacist called my new Rite Aid to find the form he needed. He even said the form was on my file so there wouldn't be any issues next time. He wasn't there this time and an unfriendly woman behind the pharmacy counter asked for my card, which I gave her only to have her push it back saying that's not the right thing. I told her it was the correct card and last time the pharmacist had found the form and said it was in my records. There was silence and she just said "OK it's $1.92". I handed her the money and she gave me my change and went right on to the next customer before I could even get my gloved handful of change and my script picked up and say thank you! She was just rude. The pharmacist saw me struggling with my full hands and glove and smiled and made a joke about how clumsy the gloves were which I agreed with. She was nice. Unfortunately it only takes one person to make things bad.”
“Very friendly, fast efficient service. I was visiting from the west coast and ran out of several medications. The people working here helped get an extra few days of my pills. Can't say enough good things about all of the employees.”
