Rite Aid

Love this place for its ice cream. Best ice cream everrrr. sales associates have all been helpful

I heard from store management this store is closing around mid May 2014. Rite Aid is not renewing it’s lease. I also heard this business will turn into a GoodWill store.

I have lived near this place for years. The customer base is shady always. Now unfortunately rite aid is hiring rude shady associates as well. The store is disgusting the employees are incompetent. Going into elcajon rite aide is like stepping into the twilight zone. At the most there is 1&½ checkers. The line is always at least 5 people long. The credit card scanners need replaced. According to the manager I am supposed to know when to use the pen and then my finger. Along with the sub par machine, comes a sub par dysfunctional mouthy rude checker who may or may not have been a female on duty 12/​13/​2013. At 7:15 pm. I hate this place. I do not care how close I live I am finished with this stye.

I love rite aid because I’m a platinum member so I always get 20% off.
I just moved to El cajon and I miss my old rite aid in San Carlos.
Employees here don’t really greet the customer or never have enough e
mployees working. I was standing in line with 4 customers in front of me waiting
To check out and the manger is standing there talking her mouth away not even paying attention to the long line forming with one register open! Really?
O yeah! When I was in the make up section an employee of rite aid was talking to
Another employee about this mean a** vodka drink she makes and how she was going to get the other employee drunk. Sorry… but this looks tacky and unprofessional to me. Save that talk for your lunch break. Children may be in the store!
Sorry Rite Aid. This one is not so great!
Employees make your store!

It’s a Rite Aid in El Cajon what else can you say but watch your purse /​wallet. The selection is slim and they have security guard at the front door. I think this pretty much sums up Rite Aid El Cajon.
Only reason we stopped by is for some tooth ache meds for the hubby. Only come to this place if I have too. I rather go too the Walgreen’s down the street and or wait to go too Grossmont Center CVS or Target.

I love this place they have ice cream, snacks, make up, and alcohol! Oh and a pharmacy of course they actually have really good prices. :) thank goodness for rite aid

Have you ever been to one of those stores that you could not wait to get the hell out of, well today I unfortunately had to experience that.
I stopped by here, on my home after dinner to pick a few items. After I found my stuff, I headed over to the Thrifty Ice Cream counter, (
) I stood there with my money in my hand to buy a sugar cone with a scoop of strawberry ice cream, but there was no one there to serve me. I stood there, and an employee working on something about 5 feet away from me saw me there, but did nothing about it. I even made eye contact with her, and still she acted uninterested. There was even a manager near by who saw me there and he did not even send somebody over. It was really weird. I am certain, I am not a leopard or something. Anyways, after the employee nearest me simply walked away, I gave up on the ice cream cone, went to the register, the lady was unfriendly, payed for my stuff and got the heck out of that place.
I usually shop at Rite Aid when I need certain things, but I will not be coming by this particular location anytime soon. I’ll stick to my neighborhood location. If you are wondering why I gave them 2 stars, it is because they at least had what I needed for a good price.

Pharmacy is the BEST! Carmen is a technician and she knows me by name! How many businesses can you go into these days where they greet you by your first name, every time?!! They take the time to check my insurance (I have dual) to see which coverages gives me the lowest price! I can’t say enough about all of the wonderful people in the pharmacy!!!

They have like 3 shopping carts for the whole store and you can never find one to use! Not good if you have little ones in tow. The RX is pretty decent, the wait has never been long. They need to keep their half gallons of ice cream stocked though, they are always out. Friendly casheirs, just hate the small counter space. Open 24 hrs yay!

Where else can you get a bottle of Advil, a scoop of Chocolate Malt Crunch, a new loofa, a coloring book, cottonballs, some light bulbs and cat food at 2 am?
