Rite Aid

The pharmacy is always out of the medication I need. I’m always forced to go to the rite-​aid on continental. Super annoying. I’d give it two and a half stars, but I’ll round up since the store itself has good prices and the location is convenient.

I really love this pharmacy. They always have tons of discounted prices, a dollar rack and the pharmacists at the back are very efficient and friendly in fulfilling orders. This pharmacy is very close to my house which is a bones for me and I come here often since there’s always an offer going around for something good.

I live in the neighborhood and this is my go to place rather then the other big name drug store that’s located 4 or 5 blocks away on Queens Blvd.
I’ve been to this location several times so my review is not based on a one time experience.
The staff is very helpful. They might not be all smiles but they make the effort into finding what you are looking for.
The store is well organized and very clean. I’ve been to places where things are knocked over and no one seems to attend it but not this place. It’s also very spacious and you have room to browse around.
You can pretty much find anything common for every day needs here.
The pharmacy was extremely helpful and courteous. When they didn’t have a prescription in stock. They called another local rite-​aid for me and gave me a call back informing me it was available else where. I was very impressed and happy with the way they handled my prescription order. I will always come back to this location.

On their website, it says they close at 10PM. I got there tonight at 9:40PM and the shutters were already down. Extremely annoying.

I came into Rite Aid today and saw a marvelous redecoration. This is undoubtedly an effort to compete with Duane Reade across the street. Im a referring to the Rego Park branch. As any other big chain pharmacy, it has basically everything you need, spare vegetables. I have being going here for years and the new face-​lift on the place is refreshing. Same employees though, literally. Right near the trains and nearby banks and dunkin donuts.

In reading the other reviews, I wondered if people were reviewing the same Rite-​Aid in Forest Hills. The one on Austin Street is awful; I dread going there on the rare occasion I have to. The one on Queens Blvd… yes, the lines are slow. One cashier in particular is slow but always incredibly nice.
But I can’t understand the comments about the pharmacy itself – I love this pharmacy. The two pharmacists are consistently friendly, helpful and knowledgable. It really feels like a community pharmacy. Over the years, the pharmacy techs/​clerks have not always been great, but over the past couple of years they have been good. But I’m most concerned about having good, competent pharmacists, and that has never been a problem at this pharmacy.
I don’t care as much about selections of toothpaste, candy, etc. – what I care most about in a pharmacy is the pharmacy. I’ve dealt with enough rude, semi-​competent pharmacy staff in other pharmacies to really value the pharmacists in this store.

This place… THIS PLACE!!!
Ok, let’s face it — it’s my own fault for going here even though I know I will hate myself for doing so about 10 seconds after I walk through the door.
Selection-​wise, the place is fine, I guess. They have stuff, just not a lot of it. If you’re looking to get multiples of any of your favorite items (shampoo, face wash, etc), go somewhere else. If you do find the stuff you need and make your way to the checkout line, prepare to spend what feels like an absolute eternity there. I will never understand it — there have been times when only ONE person has been in front of me, and it still manages to take me at LEAST 10 minutes to get to pay for my stuff. There’s just always a problem at the register — an employee doesn’t know if an item’s on sale, they don’t have enough change in the register, something won’t scan and the employee waits many many minutes until a manager comes to help, etc.
I swear, this place is a black hole that eats up all of your time. If you’re in a rush and need to pick something up really quick GO ELSEWHERE!

They usually have most of the sale items available but they rarely have good customer service cashiers available.

I had a really awful experience with one Rite Aid Manager called Richi. This Rite Aid Store is located at 110 – 88 Queens Boulevard Flushing, NY 11 375. Three week ago, I went to Rite Aid to make an order of developing one 35 mm film roll and transferring all the digital files of the photography to a CD. The receipt significantly writes, «develop and CD only (no prints).» However, after one week of finishing my order, I am going to pick up. The assistant working in Rite Aid store made a mistake. They developed my film roll and printed each photo twice, rather than developed my film roll and scanned the photography and transferred the digital files of my photography into a CD.
Thus, when I found this issue, I talked to Rite Aid manager Richi. Richi told me that it’s my fault. I didn’t order a CD. He would try to send back the pack and give me a CD including all the digital files of my images one week later. After a week, I went to Rite Aid store and talk to the manager Richi again. Richi said, the store cannot scan and transfer the digital files of the photography into the CD. At this time, I felt unhappy and complained the massy situation to Richi. Under my pressure, Richi agreed to finish my order within another one week. Unfortunately, one week later, I went to Rite Aid and talked to Richi again. He said the store cannot scan and transfer the digital images into a CD again. However, there is another woman assistant working in Rite Aid. She said, she can do it for me in one hour. Additionally, the woman assistant also found out the receipt of my order. The receipt exactly shows «develop and CD only (no prints).»
This experience is horrible. The receipt apparently notes «develop and CD only (no prints)».
Richi, you are a f cking liar. I am extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with Richi’s working attitude and Richi’s behavior.

Never get your pictures printed here, I ordered them last night online and came in today and they weren’t ready, in fact I had to wait for them to print. Never coming back.

this store is like stepping back in time, and not in a sweet, nostalgic way. i can’t help but feel that the Rite Aid corporation keeps it in this condition and hires the people they do just for a laugh. its a joke between my husband and i that «friendly roseanne» will be complaining about her coworkers, her boss, or her health while ignoring all the customers standing in front of her. try it. next time you go, look for the large woman complaining and then see if it’s roseanne.
there is an older woman with grey hair that is usually at the first register that’s a doll, though. too bad she has to work with roseanne.

Is it me or do the people look like the most depressed people you’ve ever met!!! It’s like I wanna go in there and shoot myself! It’s slow and unorganized! Give this place a face lift!!! Uggggggf

Really a terrible Rite Aid. Slow staff, poor layout and frequently smells of vomit…

this store have more sales items than some other Rite Aid.
lines can get long though.
sometimes only 1 cashier is working.

The worst pharmacy service in the world. Nasty, dirty, completely indifferent. If you have a prescription, go ANYWHERE else. There are dozens of pharmacies around here and Costco in Rego Park has a great (fast and inexpensive) pharmacy.

I totally agreed with others review. It’s dirty place with unusual very slow working people.
I have to use this pharmacy bcoz it’s across the street from my apt.
I wish People who own or working their, they start caring and changing this place into better & clean place.

I’ll go here only when I need to. It’s dirty and needs a complete rehab, or at least a new carpet. But hey, right next to the apt, you gotta go when you gotta go!

I totally agree with the reviewer who states that this store is VERY BADLY managed. It used to be a good store a couple of years ago. Now, as stated… long lines with one cashier, no direction, disorganized, and I too have had to go find the manager and ask for assistance and received a reluctant and uninterested response. The Rite Aid on 71^st. and Austin St. Is better.

Always long lines with one cashier usually trying to handle this mess. The store Manager is usually no where to be found and when you do see him, he’s rude and obnoxious. Many people shopping at this store complain about how mismanaged it is but it appears no one voices this on here. When they change Managers, I will start shopping there again.

This Rite Aid is just across the street from our home and Mister’s go-​to place for prescriptions. For some reason, really unusual looking people frequent this location, so I’m always on the lookout for nuts and characters.
And this place never disappoints.
