This review is for the pharmacy only. I had a 3:30 appointment for the PCR testing. I arrived at 3:20 pm at the drive-through. However, there were written signs on both windows at the drive through, indicating that it was closed. So I went inside per instruction and waited in line at the pharmacy counter. There were 5 people in front of me. There was only 1 pharmacist and 1 nurse (?) who was administering shots. The pharmacy was obviously very behind in filling prescriptions. I overheard the conversation when the man in front of me was getting his turn. He submitted his prescription in the morning but was just now told it's not ready (almost 4pm). That he had to either wait for an hour or come back later. He said he'd wait. The pharmacist wasn't amused. He repeated in a rather rude tone that the medicine wouldn't be ready for anther hour and effectively asked the man to leave. I'd be very mad if I were that man. Anyway, it was finally my turn after waiting in line for 10-15 minutes. I told him I have an appointment for the PCR test. He denied me immediately, saying I shouldn't be inside for the COVID tests. I don't disagree but I had no choice, I was wearing double masks btw. He told me to go to the drive through. I reminded him that the drive through was closed. He said to go there and ring the bell. I wasn't thrilled to be given the run around but I duly went back out to the drive-through. I rang the bell, he answered and told me to wait because he had a lot of people in line. Of course, I was just in there and I knew there was a constant line. 10 minutes past. I rang the bell again. He reminded me that he's very busy. I told him that I had to pick up my son from school. He asked me to be patient. Finally another 5 minutes later, the "nurse" serviced my appointment. However, it was another good 10 minutes of waiting for the paper work! I don't understand -- if I had made the appointment online, included all my information and insurance details, why would it take 10 minutes to get ready to hand me the PCR test kit?! It took me less than 1 minutes to collect the sample once I was given the swab and the vial. By the time was I done, it was 4:10pm. I wasted a whopping 50 minutes of my life in frustration, and I was late to pick up my son. I know it was because this pharmacy wasn't staffed properly, but that's exactly the reason you should absolutely avoid this location. I would suggest CVS inside Target, or the CVS by the high school. I've always had good experience there. read more

Rite Aid - Drive Through had sign stating it's closed - Drugstores Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

See all

I've worked with Rite Aid in Steelton and Harrisburg locations. BY FAR....The Carlisle Pike Rite Aid exceeds what I expect from my pharmacy and the store associates. I've transferred all my scripts to this pharmacy. Not only arrived they so polite and professional on the phone, they arr also personable. They follow through with what they say they will do and offer prompt call backs. I can't thank this store enough for putting my health needs as a priority and easing my stress related to prior experiences. Thank you especially to Ange for helping me today! Your store is STELLAR in my book! read more

Overall a very great experience, but my only complaint is that they NEVER EVER have Hot Cheetos in stalk. It's honestly weird that they don't have it because most of America thrives on spice. Also I have subscriptions there and they always say it will take longer because they always have a hard time getting medications in. read more

The gentleman in the pharmacy, I believe his name is Danny went above and beyond to help us tonight and deserves a multitude of praise! We went to pick up a prescription that was normally $50, our insurance changed and now the cost is $305!! Danny called the insurance company to find out why the huge jump and tried to help there with no luck. I found a manufacturer coupon and he called and called the manufacturer company to push it through for us (apparently the manufacturer was having technical problems processing on their end). He spent so much time trying to help us out. He didn't have to, but he did. It's hard to find people that will go above and beyond for a customer. Thank you Danny!!! read more

I have been going to this location for 15 years, and I am done. They have done nothing but disappoint over the last year. Yesterday was the final straw. After being away for the weekend, I went Monday after work to pick up my prescriptions (I saw my provider on Friday.) They had closed at 6:00 on a weekday - and probably a busy one with people needing to see their Doctors after the weekend for one reason or another. I was told they opened at 9 the next day. Great! Most of the world is already at work by then. So, I left work a little early on Tuesday, only to find they had already closed at 4! BANKS have better hours than this! There was a paper sign at drive through window that directed people to the Union Deposit Rd/ Harrisburg location. The person I spoke to there had no idea about this direction. They were very helpful, but I don't live there. I am now looking for a new Pharmacy after all of this time. I may likely turn to a Mail-Order Pharmacy. So, not only will I not be filling prescriptions at Rite Aid, I won't be making other/ impulse purchases there, either. read more

I do not regularly use this pharmacy. I was treated very rudely by a pharmacy clerk. Everytime he had to speak with me he was impolite. I have never called to a manager to complain but I did this time. read more

I've been going to this Rite Aid for several years. My review is divided in 2 parts: Shop and the Pharmacy. Shop: it is really a place for emergency shopping only. Prices are over-inflated and obviously paying the rent. The stuff they sell is cheaper at Walmart. Some of my friends have told me that they follow the weekly mailers for sale/discounts and buy the items which have been marked down. Pharmacy: the pharmacists are all good, helpful. The problem I have is with the inventory. RiteAid leaves a voice message when the prescription is ready to be picked up. But the voice message does not say which of the multiple items on the order list is ready to be picked up and which ones are on order for next business day. So, the message is misleading. Several times, I've reached Riteaid after I've heard the message and found out that one of the medicines on the list is not available, they've ordered it and will be available next day. What that means is that I've to make another trip. In today's busy world, that is poor customer service. read more

Could not believe what awful service I got yesterday. They did not have the medication I needed. Was told they could not get it but it was available at the Linglestown Rd store. I asked could they have it sent over and was told no. Asked if they could deliver it as they advertise free delivery because of all the issues going on today. Told no, because it would be more than 5 miles from that store. Asked for upper management phone number and after waiting over 5 minutes was told it would be sent over from Linglestown Rd store to Camp Hill Store. I will be going over later today. Do they not understand anything about customer service? Still waiting for a call back from upper management. Will be moving all my medications to s different company. Change of upper management but still very poor service. read more

Across the street from CVS. Not open 24 hours. Higher prices. The choice is yours.

Not a bad Drugstore, but yeah, on average they are going to be a few cents more expensive than CVS right across the street. Employees behind the counter enjoyed chit-chat and their pharmacy people did a good job of explaining the info packet and their different policies and such. Not a bad place, just nothing worth going out of your way for. read more

Do we really need another drug store in (717)!!!Holy Crap, theese places pop up like banks everywhere!! Check this out, I call Carlisle Pike "FP Pike-Financial Pharmy Pike"!! Ok follow me, start in Lemonye. You have Rite Aide, CVS across from each other. 2 Miles down the road on 11/15 CVS, Rite Aide, 2 more miles on the same road both across form each other. New CVS coming soon by CV High School. That's just the ones on the same road! Not including supermarkets and the "Marts" People seriously drive your a$$'$ to a indepent store if there is any more around. Support them not these idiots! Hey you CEO's there is nothing out in the sticks, open up out there! Any time I have gone in a Rite Aide it's empty. Think of all that crap left on the self that does not get sold... Let me guess they sell it to Ollies or Big Lots and just write it off and we pay for it one way or another..!!! read more

This Rite Aid is now open 24 hours. Drive-thru Pharmacy. The pharmacy is also 24 hours. The staff is very friendly. Pharmacists are very knowledgeable. I have never had an issue getting scripts filled late at night/early morning. Great variety of items. I feel this Rite Aid gives the CVS across the street a good run. read more

You can catch some great deals if you are a member of the wellness bonus club. I live close to the store and usually go later in the evening, 10ish, and the service can be poor. Most of the time nobody is even behind the register. I've waited, as the only one in line, for 5-10 minutes till someone checked me out. read more
