I was visiting Solvang overnight and realized once I arrived at my hotel that I forgot my night wrist brace. This is my second trip away in a 2 year period that I forgot to pack it! Last time I forgot it while out of town, I was able to buy one at CVS. So naturally, I went to CVS in Solvang but to my surprise they did not have any form of a wrist brace. So my only option now was Rite Aide. I was crossing my fingers they had one. It was about 8:00pm on a Saturday and when I walked in the store was empty and a clerk was stocking merchandise. She greeted me immediately and asked if she could help me find anything. I told her what I was looking for and she confirmed they did carry the item and she led me to the shelf. She even looked over the options to find the one most like the one I described. I was so excited they had it! It was a bit pricier than I paid on my last purchase for it but I was just happy they had it in stock. It was such a huge relief to know I could sleep that night. read more

Came here late afternoon on a Thursday and I'm not sure why lots of their items were sold out. Was looking for acetone and found none. Many of the nail polishes were also gone. read more

I stop by here when I am in Solvang and need this and that . . . today was a busy day, and the manager was working TWO registers until her help came off break! Very impressive - she'd start a transaction here, go the other one, enter something, back to the first while we entered our phone number for rewards or played with the credit card thingy - not sure how she did it, but it worked! And she never lost her humor or customer presence. Most impressive - sadly I did not get her name, but my "thanks" to her! The store itself is always clean, lots of choices and well stocked - swing by and get an ice cream, too! read more

We love Rite Aid ice cream and taking our kids! However..this rite aid has the absolute worst costumer service. EVERYTIME. We've had more than a handful of rude employees who act like it's so awful to do their job. Don't offer it if it's such a hassle ! read more

Rite Aid - Chocolate malted crunch single scoop - Drugstores Near Me - Solvang, California

We arrived today with three kids so excited for ice cream. There was a grey haired man sitting behind the cash registers who didn't even look up or greet us. Then when we went to the ice cream counter he barked at us that we needed to pay for the ice creams in advance. I have been to Thriftys many times and have never ever had to pay in advance. Then my older daughter was uncertain about a flavor and requested a sample and the man sharply said we don't do samples anymore ever since covid. That seems odd to me since I have been to Thriftys many times since covid and have always gotten samples. Then the grey haired man who made us pay in advance told a co-worker in a beanie to serve us so he could go on his break. The worker with the beanie was also curt and had no patience for my daughter who was uncertain of whether she wanted a cup or a cone and my other daughter who always looks forward to eating with a sample spoon. Then when my youngest needed to use the restroom and I asked where it was he mumbled an answer begrudgingly and when I asked him to repeat his answer her was very rude in tone. It was the absolute worst experience I have ever had at a Thriftys. I get that the employees could care less about selling ice-cream but I hope the manager who runs this location has the integrity and leadership to hold workers accountable for being polite, welcoming, and showing some level of costumer service. This was truly abhorrent! read more

It's 3 PM on a Tuesday afternoon in May and 2 people approach the unattended Thrifty Ice Cream scoop area. The cashier adjacent sees us waiting and she gets on the PA system: "(Can you believe someone wants ice cream on a Tuesday at 3 PM), send someone over." This guy comes over with disheveled hair with the attitude like we just woke him up from a deep sleep. No hello, just puts gloves on and stares at us in anger. I ask for a double scoop of Pralines and Cream and Cookie Dough. He yells out, "I can't hear you--you need to speak up!" I pay for mine and my friend wants some ice cream and asks for Pistachio. The guy just walks out of the area and someone else takes over. My ice cream order must have burnt him out. We see him next leaving the store. My friend and I sit on a bench outside the Rite-Aid and eat the incredible ice cream (Get the Pralines). Then Leonardo, owner of the Italian Restaurant comes over to chat. He was coming back from the grocery store with some fruit and vegetables. He says try his place for dinner--they have the best Chicken Parm. We ended up dining there later after we wore off the ice cream. I was threatening to return to Rite Aid for more Praline ice cream after dinner at Leonardo's, but the table next to us offered us the best Birthday Cake from their celebration. Such nice people. It's a really nice inside Rite Aide--check it out. And they have the best ice cream too. read more

Rude, snarky pharmacy person who pretended not to know who I am when I came in for a "free flu shot" that i supposedly could get "any time." I will tell the whole world about the rudeness I experienced. Avoid this pharmacy at all costs! There's a CVS right across the street. The worst. read more

Probably the worst customer service! It was so bad that i want to give a negative star. First time to write very bad reviews. We came in at the store, 9:43pm they closes at 10pm. This older gentleman name Ray (no badge, nut he said his name is Ray) told in our face he's pissed off whenever a customer come in late. What the hell?? We bought a lot of stuff & obviously need a bag, and he said, "we don't have any bags", and i'm sure that's a lie!! Then, he started almost throwing candies on the counter, showing how pissed off he was. Well, it's not our fault that they're open until 10pm, may be they should start closing at 9pm then problem solve. I mean, if he hated his job, quit and find other things to do that will make you happy, don't take it out on the customer who only wants to give you business. That's not acceptable. Hoping the management will do something about it. But i doubt. read more

For a drug store, I had mediocre expectations for a typical Rite Aid. I was pleasantly surprised, not only by how clean this store was, but also with their offerings. Like many in the area, I was visiting Solvang and needed a few things short notice. I was surprised by their alcohol selection, as well as their food offerings. They had everything I needed and more. I was shocked to find they had disposable diaper pails, which I had forgotten, and was a serious Godsend for our hotel room! Very few places sell them, and I was thrilled with the random find. I usually have to order them online. Overall this place is a great stop for last minute items! read more

The lady behind the counter at the pharmacy with the pony tail was honestly so rude to me that I never want to come back. Truly just an unpleasant person and made me feel stupid and like I was burdening her by being there. read more

Clean and large store. Busy parking lot with two visits over a Saturday and a Sunday - next to a restaurant.

Stopped by today take my daughter and two friends to get Ice Cream always a great place and service but not today a older man working the register and serving Ice cream was really rude and not welcome actually almost through the spoon and was really rude!!! Also after paying instead of handing the Receipt just practically through it! If you don't like your job need to quite! No excuses hope no other people got treated this way by him!!! Not happy at all especially seeing that this happened to kids!!!!! read more

Had the worst experience at this location today, my family and I went to go visit Solvang and did a quick pit stop at this rite aid to grab some snacks and meanwhile my family were getting the thrifty ice cream the employee named Leticia, employee # 61857903 was giving a huge amount of attitude to my family and I meanwhile serving our ice cream. I had just came out of the restroom to meet up with them and when I had seen their flavors in their hand I had asked for a "chocolate " looking one and I guess that upset her and corrected me with a very disgusting attitude as to what it was actually called. Which I wouldn't have mind if she corrected me but not with the attitude she gave. When she finally finished we headed to the register and just gave an overall bad attitude through the whole entire time till end, until she got the next customer and spoke to them so kindly and very respectfully which made absolutely NO SENSE. When my family and I never ever disrespected her. I didn't want to come to this conclusion but I have no other alternatives but that was an act of racism. She herself was a colored women just like us and treating the women behind us who was white so differently which like I said makes no reasonable sense. All I ask if you train your employees to be equal to anyone, everyone who walks in. Solvang is a tourist place I would hate to see her disrespect more people. Who she didn't prefer. read more

Stop in this evening with a bit of an emergency due to leaving a prescription at home. The pharmacist was so helpful and filled my prescription with a three day supply to hold me over. Thanks to Daniel our vacation is not ruined. Thanks a million, John read more

Older gentleman who is always at the front counter every day is extremely rude and seems miserable working there. He never has anything nice to say and I think he purposely goes out of his way to make you feel uncomfortable. He barks orders at you like "empty your basket and go put it back on your way out." Total jerk. The woman who works the front counter is always pleasant and tells me to put basket on top of counter and she'll take the items out. She also takes the basket from you and puts it back herself. This guy needs to go. I've seen other reviews on here about him and my friends and family always say the same about him when they shop there. read more

Read the fine print on their company policy. Return an item without a receipt and you will get the sale price. Bought an item but ended up returning it same day. For a 21$ item. I was given 11$ back. WTH read more

Checked into our hotel in Solvang just to realize our room had a giant soaking tub. So naturally, I needed bubble bath! Asked the front desk and they pointed us to this Rite Aid, which was less than a mile away from downtown Solvang. This is the nicest rite aid ive ever been to! Very organized and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Happy to have found it.. Now I know where do go buy anything I need when I visit Solvang. read more

Rite Aid - Drugstores Near Me - Solvang, California

This is the best Rite Aid Store that I've ever been to. Their ice cream is to die for and they carry everything from Swedish fish to adult diapers (not that I buy adult diapers frequently XD) I've been going to this Rite Aid since I was five years old and have yet to find any Rite Aid that is so clean, organized, and well stocked. The quality has always been top notch and has never faded in the slightest. This store is what made me love Rite Aid like I do today! read more

Rite Aid - Yummy cotton candy ice cream with my friend! - Drugstores Near Me - Solvang, California

One of the worse Rite Aids I've ever been to. First, you can't find anyone when you need help finding items. Secondly, the place always seems messy. Things are not tactfully displayed, more like thrown-together-at-the-last-minute. Finally, the young red headed cashier girl has no common sense nor good manners. We were treated with prejudice and witnesseed her demeanor with a latino. I would say she may have some prejudice towards customers. Definitely, not a welcoming place. I truly hope management looks into hiring from other racial groups and dedicates more time to displays. read more
