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.

I left this place sobbing and feeling absolutely terrible about myself when I did absolutely…read morenothing wrong. Jesus and James (the manager) are genuinely the rudest people I have ever met and I hope they face serious consequences after I get in contact with corporate. This was the worst, most childish, power-tripping and dismissive behavior I have ever encountered at *any* establishment, let alone by a manager and his team member, in my 34 years of life. I came to the store to stock up on some makeup I needed and saw a bunch of stuff I haven't been able to find at other stores so I knew I was going to be spending $150 minimum. Everything is locked up in cases and for whatever reason Jesus didn't ask to hold any of the makeup items I picked out so I put them in my basket which somehow lead to me being treated like absolute shit. I have severe ADHD and slight autism and have a very specific way of shopping. I tend to grab a lot of items and then go through my cart as I continue shopping and put things back here and there as I go (I put 90% of things back where they belong). I just can be really impulsive and have spent a lot of unnecessary money in the past but through therapy have learned ways to be less impulsive when it comes to shopping. Anyways, I stopped in one aisle and put two things back on the shelf from my basket. After that, I wandered over to the seasonal aisle at the Halloween items. I had both my reusable tote that had some items in it from the store I was at just prior to coming to CVS and the basket both on the ground and I was not touching them. I never even crouched down. I did nothing suspicious. However, James did a call over the loudspeaker for a security check. He then kept hovering around my area to see what I was doing. Again, I was nowhere near my basket and bag. They stayed on the ground while I wandered other aisles (because I'm genuinely just naive about the idea of people stealing from other people and I have severe inattention issues). A few minutes later, he then called ANOTHER security check over the intercom. He then came down my aisle, and I asked him if it was safe to leave my bag in the basket together on the ground and then he said he would just take the basket upfront. I explained that I have ADHD and a very specific way of shopping (grab lots of items impulsively and then rationally assess what I actually want/need; I generally spend an hour or more at any store I go to) and he said he didn't want to have to deal with putting things back (even though I said I would do it) and I explained how inconvenient this all was becoming and how uncomfortable I felt. I asked if I could just have them hold my personal bag behind the counter while I kept the basket and he said they didn't do that. I decided that I was just done shopping around because I could tell that James was just going to continue to act like I had attempted to or was planning on shoplifting (simply because I had a lot of makeup that Jesus allowed me to put in my basket) and therefore treat me with absolutely no respect. I said that I needed to check prices on a few items so I asked if I could please take the basket and go look and he said that he would just check them at the register so after he checked prices on a few things, his demeanor and tone of voice made me feel like I was such a burden so I told him that and he said nothing back. I then told him that I just was going to leave because he was treating me like a criminal and he just said "okay". I asked if he was the manager and he said yes so I said I wanted his district managers number and he said he didn't have it. I then asked for at least his email address and he said he didn't know it. He then literally tossed a CVS card at me (the one that you keep on your keychain to scan your ExtraCare card number) and said "here's his number" (I'm assuming there's probably a corporate n phone number on there but didn't even bother to look). I called him an asshole and he walked away from the register. Jesus then walked behind the counter and I asked him what James' name was and he said "I dunno" with a grin on his face. He walked away so I asked the only nice employee I encountered for James' name and he gave it to me. I walked back to find James and Jesus and said that I would have spent at least $150 and said sarcastically thanks for being so nice to me and he and Jesus just acted annoyed and James said "Yep. I have things to do. Bye". I ended up going to a different CVS a few blocks away and only spent $80 because they didn't have near as big of a selection. I told their assistant manager that I just had a really bad experience at a different CVS and the employees were mean to me and he said, "well, thank you for being a loyal customer of CVS". I explained my ADHD/autism issues to this manager and he was kind and empathetic.

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 visiting Coronado and walking with a friend along Orange. Since it was summertime, it was…read morequite hot, and at one point, I needed to grab a cold bottle of water. Then, I happened upon Walgreens! I was delighted to find regular Walgreens prices right on Coronado, where I expected a cold bottle of water to be $5 or more. I ended up getting two large bottles for $3 using a Walgreens deal. I just used some W Cash Rewards that had been saved for quite some time, and now, when checking out, I have to start earning my W Cash Rewards from scratch again. I enjoy the occasional visit to Walgreens, where I typically see it as a good excuse to stock up on paper goods, such as Kleenex or facial tissues, which I often run out of at home. I found multiple options for brands, box sizes, ply count, and whether they were soft or had lotion on them. I do enjoy just walking around the store as you never know what you will find. While walking around this time, I noted that this store regularly keeps the aisles looking good and the items in stock, though I also saw employees restocking items and changing price tags in various aisles. When I was checking out, there was one person ahead of me, but the line moved quickly, and once I entered my phone number for my rewards program, my transaction went through quickly, too. The W Cash Rewards program is free to sign up for and easy to use. You earn back 1% in Walgreens Cash rewards storewide, even at the pharmacy, and 5% in rewards on Walgreens branded products. There are also sales prices automatically unlocked and other savings coupons, where you can earn reward dollars by making a purchase after selecting a given coupon. Sometimes the coupons are on a receipt from your most recent purchase. You can also find other coupons on the app or the website (or in a booklet or ad when you arrive at the store). While I do not frequent Walgreens as often as other drug stores, I often wonder why, when I happen to visit a Walgreens store, as it's so easy to shop there, and my experiences are often very pleasant. Though on Coronado, I would consider my visit to Walgreens to be a big success!!

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.

It was very impersonal: The clerk at the counter reminded me of Pippi Longstocking; her physical characteristics.

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. The best time I have found to go is around 7:00 to 8:00 AM.

This is regarding getting a Covid vaccine booster at the pharmacy on Saturday 09/19/2026…read more My husband and I arrived 15 minutes before our 10am appointment and even though we were next in line in the "vaccination appointment" window, the vet tech ignored us and checked in a woman who walked up to the Rx drop off window and proceeded to sign her up for a walk up vaccine appointment. Once the vet tech apparently checked us in, about 20-30 minutes later our last name was called. We asked which one of us she wanted to see first and she informed us that my husband had been checked in and insurance verified however I had been marked as not checked in, because my insurance had not been linked. She offered to let them know and then proceeded to help other patients. Not knowing how long she was going to take before letting them know, I got back in line to resolve the issue. Spoke to the head pharmacist who verified I had not been checked in, to which the previous vet tech just looked and mumbled "oh sorry" to me. At this point it was 40 minutes past my appointment. The head pharmacist then got me fully checked in and insurance verified. I waited a couple more minutes when the vaccine technician started to call another name. When I asked when I was going to be seen (because the employees messed up with the check in, not me) she proceeded to show me the queue and that I was at the bottom. My husband and I asked if there was any service recovery that can be done and she kept re-explaining where I was in the queue but would do her best to see me next. The next person she called was not making themselves known so my husband and I asked again if we could please go next as we were almost an hour past our appointment and I still needed to get my vaccine. She finally agreed and I was done in less than 5 minutes. A scheduled appointment that should have taken only about 10 minutes took an hour.
