Way better than than previous pharmacies we've used. This store gets a bad rap because of all the homeless looting the store - emptying its shelves. It's a daily battle, they've tried security at the doors, but for whatever reason they don't have it anymore. They should permanently close off the door on Kettner and create a booze only counter with the liquor behind it, not accessible to the customer unless they are buying it at the booze counter.

While in San Diego this was the first place I went to gather supplies for my room. I did stop in…read morehere again at least once before departing, so this review will be a combination of the both visits. Coming here I expected more of a selection. It appeared that the wide variety of selection was set for libations rather than other items in the store. For the footprint of the store it seems that there just wasn't enough room in house to accommodate that. Like I said, because the libations took up a solid two aisles. That meant that the rest of the aisles were left to have items fight for counter space. Unfortunately on both of my visits here I did not find what I needed and had to venture elsewhere to get those items. Customer service wasn't too bad here, they were attentive to the needs of those in the store, but at some points they appeared to be bothered to help you at first. It is what it is. I view this more as a community convenience store than a Rite Aid. I suppose if you live in the neighborhood it is better than trekking to wherever to get a quick item.

Location/Ambiance: *Convenient downtown location, about a 14-minute walk from Cortez Hill and close to the trolley and Ross. *Be aware of your surroundings as there are many suspicious eyes, transients, and homeless people. *Prices are a little friendlier than 7-Eleven and some other neighborhood markets. *Larger, well-stocked, and reasonably priced especially when using your CVS coupons! *The outside is worn and not particularly inviting, but the inside is bigger than expected, and what I call "organized chaos." *Most items are locked up especially the snacks I frequently buy. Felt like a treasure hunt looking for my usuals. *There was a good selection of snacks, drinks, and CVS essentials, though the grocery section is limited and some of the aisles felt cramped. Customer service: *Staff were friendly (one cashier and one I saw on the floor). They were quick to assist me. *Self-checkout was easy (3 machines); stress-free and in/out in 10 minutes. It's the best option if you're in a rush. Overall: *Nothing special, but it's convenient, generally well-stocked, and gets the job done. Not the prettiest CVS, but useful when you need something close by.

I was impressed by the variety stocked. Prices were reasonable too. I was surprised by the amount of items that were locked up. I'm guessing for Loss Prevention.

Easy breezy, that's my kind of shopping. Will bookmark this location for future quick grab items!

I came here several times in order to buy supplies, and prescriptions from the pharmacy. One challenge of this location is fairly large number of homeless nearby. That has resulted in theft from this store. This CVS now has continuous armed guard at the door keeping this establishment safe. I have witnessed first hand experience of shop lifting attempts while guards have actively prevented it from taking place. As not much can be done to prevent present societal conditions, alert management does make a difference...

They have some touristy items in the back in a nook near the stairway to the customer bathrooms upstairs. Don't worry, plenty of signs to tell you bathrooms are for customers only, I have no idea where anyone uses the restroom here if they don't live here bc no one has bathrooms you can use. Anyway.... they have the usual items and have a pharmacy inside so if you are in need of something during a trip you'll be able to come in here and find something. I was able to find the chapstick and snacks I came in to get.

This…read morestore opens at 7, so I was confused as to why the lights were on inside but the doors were not opening. I made eye contact with one of the store associates at the register and instead of acknowledging me, he looked back down. I knocked on the door and he just shook his head at me, indicating he wouldn't be opening the doors. I took a picture of the hours on the window and that prompted him to come outside. He informed me they had had a power outage and were attempting to get the registers back up and working. Understandable. I said thanks and walked back to my car, only to watch more customers do exactly what I had just done and stand by the doors that didn't open. What does it take to write on a piece of paper that the store is currently closed due to a power outage and put it up on the doors? Lights are on, employees are in there staring at you through closed doors.... This place is mismanaged and the employees are SO lazy. I've been in the store many times waiting in a line to check out where one employee is at a register and the other employees are hanging around. Keep in mind they have 4 registers. It might be time to start thinking about implementing self check outs. This store is always very stocked and has a lot of options which makes it a good choice, but I would avoid it if I could. I drove across the street after this to Vons and got what I needed.

Then I went back to the pharmacy to ask for help from the pharmacists regarding several post-op wound care items that I needed to buy, and was unsure about which item to choose. Basically, I just needed some hand holding while figuring out what to buy. Although there were 3 people working in the pharmacy at that time, and there was no one waiting in line, no one had time to come out of the pharmacy to help me. They did tell me what isle I could look in, and I eventually found the items I needed by myself. But it just seemed strange that they couldn't come out to help a customer, even when there was no one else in the store. On the good side, this is a convenient location to downtown San Diego, near the Southwest corner of Balboa Park. Free customer parking in their lot.

They "couldn't find it" and "couldn't print it". Eventually she just had to leave. The next day she sent me back to get it and I was there for like 45 minutes because they "couldn't find it" again. I have literally never met more incompetent people in my life. They said it "somehow got deleted" and they have to pull it from the archives but they don't know how long it will take. I talked to the manager and he just said "it's just our system" and walked away. Most dismissive manager, can't think of anyone more unfit. I literally cannot believe how much time I've waited in this fucking CVS. If I could give them negative stars I would. I have no words..... I'm so mad.

The woman (grey hair, pigtails) said 'we don't have that but we have other things for [assume indication]'. My friend politely declined. We turned to leave and as we walked out she audibly sighed then scoffed and shouted "Good luck finding that!!!" Im not sure what the issue is in this store. I thought it was a misinterpretation of her behavior. It was wasn't: I also used their restroom shared with their next door neighbor. The same woman banged on the door like she wanted to break in or she was breaking in or was the police. Who beats the door that hard and aggressively? She knows it's a tiny room. It was a few mins per my parking timer. So much banging. Since we already found and bought what we looked for here at the local organic specialty grocery (7 mins away via GPS) we'll stay going to the grocery to restock and not restock at whatever this is. It was holistic. Holistically bad.

I tend to avoid going to CVS, but I like this location primarily because the staff are friendly. They also have a pharmacy, and since the bankruptcy of Rite Aid, there are ten-people-deep lines to pick up medication. They do have three self-checkout lines, but the machines are really finicky and freeze up frequently. There is a large parking lot because it is located in a strip mall, but it is always busy.
