So my wife was working for this rite aid for about 5 years. She started as a cashier and after 3 years worked her way up to a shift manager. Midway through her employment they changed management, new store manager, and assistant manager. Everything was fine until my wife got pregnant. One instance she was working and was feeling weak and dizzy, she went to the multi-care clinic in the store and the nurse sent her to the hospital. Her mom pretty much had to carry her out the door. She went to the emergency room and as she was being seen the assistant manager called her and yelled at her for leaving and not telling anyone, even though she told another manager on duty she was going. She then demanded that my 6 month pregnant wife that's having complications with her pregnancy return to work and finish her shift. Yeah no. There were several occasions where they would make her work a 9-10 hour shift without any breaks. They made her work night shifts as the only manager on duty thus making it impossible to use the restroom, which was located at the opposite end of the store. The assistant manager has called me at my work yelling at me and accusing me of lying about my wife's whereabouts, which almost got me fired. They called her lazy at work and gave her the most difficult mundane jobs that they could possibly find for her to do. When she did use the restroom, she would give her only employee on the night shift her manager code for return approvals and such because you cant hear the intercom from the restroom. She changed the code as soon as she was finished. They were doing a big investigation on the store for theft, so they interrogated all the employees like they were criminals. They made her confess to giving out her code, which has nothing to do with stealing. So they fired her, conveniently 3 days before her due date and delivery. So there was no maternity leave for her. So she filed for unemployment. She was denied for breaking company policy. She didn't know she wasn't allowed to give out her code because all the other managers and the assistant manager herself was doing it. Funny how the ready to pop mom to be is the only one that got canned. Nevertheless we fought unemployment. In washington, the employer pays your unemployment benefits, so they aren't trying to pay. So after 6 months of appeals and tons of phone calls later, we got to talk to a judge and have a hearing. We gave our case, the corporation gave theirs, and that a hole that interrogated her like a pow was on the line as well. Well sorry rite aid, (Not really!) we won. Thanks for the 3, 200 bucks. Now shes been trying to find work for about 6 months and no one will hire her. When i say nobody i mean nobody. She worked at rite aid for 5 years. Great work history, 1 job for so long. That's good. But not good enough. Some places she sends her resume to e mail her back 5 minutes later telling her she didn't get the job. But the add stays. We're beginning to think that rite aid may be slandering her name when they call her only work reference. What can we do?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Your Store is frequently short of RX's ordered by my Physician. You Frequently cannot fill the full RX Quantity. It costs me extra gas to drive back to get it filled on another day! I am incontinent and they rarely have a full compliment of DEPEND and they say they will order some for delivery next "Friday" which is a week away. What am I supposed to do? - got to the front of your store and piss on the counter. If you can find me a nearby Rite Aide store that really has the full line of DEPEND product I will go there and I'll move all my pharmacy business THERE as well. The pharmacist that was on this afternoon was not particularly helpful and admittedly I got irritated by her flippant young attitude. It is not my fault if your people don't order the right products at the right time. Most other companies do a better job of inventory handeling and employee training.
Good luck trying to save your business in these tough economic times. You are close to losing another customer.
Because I travel I chose RiteAid for my pharmacy; but they don't live up to their claims of caring for the customer. I believe it's a company thing not supporting their employees. I see the way they work hard and try to do their jobs; but something is going on where they are prevented from being able to do the simple task of get the prescription and patient's info, fill the prescription and then hand it to the patient all in a timely manner. I'd asked that my two prescriptions of differing amounts be coordinated so I'd have the correct dosage; I was told it depended...had to do with how payment was handled. Something is wrong behind the scenes and I'd like to see the Corporation heads take a look see and fix it. Either they have no way for an employee to communicate they need help and what that help will be or their pleas fall on deaf ears. I've emailed directly to these corporation heads I'm talking about and I have had no response to my complaint of not being able to get my prescription in a timely manner either.
It's scary to see them in action...telling a customer that although they called ahead two days they don't have the request and therefore their prescription is not filled. I was kept hanging around because I believed them when they said it'd be a certain time period, but they just keep extending it, then suggested I go home and let them call when it's ready. I've yet to get the call, but I'm sure they'll have a good reason and/or excuse for it. I'll be looking for another pharmacy to do my business with after all, it's my health and they don't seem to care.
It is the summer time... Have more ice cream! Have more ice cream sales! I went to the rite aid on vernon and figuarea and they didn't have none of my top 5 favors. I was hot pregnant and disappointed.
Ok... you are really hot, pregnant, and ###ing what? Really? Ice cream at a pharmacy? Hello, there are these new thingy's call grocery stores? New flash mcfly! Go to baskin robbins for your 31 ###ing flavors... I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin...
That is an outrage! Rite Aid "didn't have none" of your top 5 flavors of ice cream? Thats crazy!
Ok, pregnancy doesn't make you that crazy. So after you give birth, maybe you should visit the Rite Aid again and stock up on what the store actually specializes in- medications.
Oh yeah, do you live south of the equator? Checking...no, you don't...its not summer!
I wish Rite Aid's ice cream supply was all that I had to worry about...
I walked in to a rite aid today store:04836 ny... and couldn't believe what i saw the manager of the store along with his female supervisor treating the employees so bad. ive never seen such bad treatment before like that. it felt like i was in a sweatshop, and the employees took the verbal abuse and kept working. i am very upset of what i saw and hope this is STOPPED. i think those 2 management people should get discipline action and be shown they cant get away with verbal abuse like that.. ill be back again to document what i see and hopefully it changes.
Actually they can. The employees just have to report it to HR.
Yes, they micro-manage their employees. I feel bad for the employees because they are stuck between a rock and hard place, while the big wigs sit back and do nothing.
The Riteaid in Murfrresboro, Tn ***. The store is located on Middle Tennessee Blvd. The manager is NEVER there. When I asked when she would be there they said she was on vacation. She is always gone. She never works nights or weekend. Everytime I go there there are different people working as the Mgr.Nobody can do anything. They can't even do photos there because the machine is either down or noones knows how to work it. I call Mr. Briggs the District Mgr. He never called back. I was told he Never calls back. The Mgr of the store is very rude, a dingbat and needs to be replaced. It seems Riteaid thrives on hiring Idiots. They all SUCK!
I'm going to Walgreens from now on!
Preath Rite Aid Corp. Withdrew 37.00 from my account without my knowledge. I've never ordered anything from this place or ever been in their store. They are located In Michigan and this is all I know. I want my money put back in my account ASAP!

In the last 2 years, I have suffered terrible incompetence from my local drug store. It began in July 2009, when I was given the wrong refill in a mislabeled bottle. I brought the incorrect bottle back, but not before taking an unsafe dose of the incorrect medicine. After that, I checked my medications carefully prior to taking them home. Over the past year, I continued to deal with Rite Aid because they were the closest local pharmacy; however, the pharmacy customer service declined. When I dropped off prescriptions, I was given wait times of over 2 hours for vital medication. In the past month, I submitted 3 requests for a refill for my primary medication, only to have that information "lost" or "missing", including a refill request made online and 2 made directly at the pharmacy counter. When questioned, the pharmacy staff act surly and unhelpful. The manager is heavily accented and difficult to understand. No help is forthcoming for patients of the pharmacy; they seem to not to care at all about their patients' wellbeing. I am switching my pharmacy to a local Target store; they have better prices on generic prescriptions, and their customer service simply cannot be any worse than Rite Aid's. No one's customer service could be worse.
My Mom unfortunately works for Wrong Aid, that place hires the most insignificant wastes of human life. Her manager is nothing short of lazy with all capital letters. Whenever my Mom is working and she completes her shift, the next day if he's working he tells her she has done everything wrong. He sits on his hind end and barks commands, then he also admits to my mom the people he has work off the clock. When he's on his day off and there's a problem he'll ignore his phone, he's a manager which means he should be on call even on his days off. He'll make things up like he's been drinking and he can't come in and handle whatever the problem is and that they will have to figure something out. Recently my Mom is trying to go on part time and be semi retired, she told this idiot she wanted to go part-time 6 months in advance, did he do anything in that 6 months to make that happen? Of course he didn't he's an incompetent little you know what. As far as I'm concerned he's probably the most worthless waste of human life I've ever had the misfortune of knowing, he's lazy, he wants everyone to do his job for him, he's controlling, he manipulates everyone he can, in short, that's the kind of people Rite Aid wants as their managers, and they wonder why they aren't profitable. I hope some day the guy just doesen't wake up, he just quits breathing, he deserves nothing better than the worst life has to offer. How in the world any company can keep someone as lazy and irresponsible as this guy is what makes me question management. Reading some of the other remarks I see here, it seems as though Rite Aid hires some real winners.
The Irvine, KY store has the rudest mgr. of any company! They could care less about their employee's! i refuse to do business with RITE-AID!
I know a poor lady with two kids that worked at rite-aid in irvine, ky for two & one half yrs., started as cashier worked up to shift supervisor, they terminated her one week before christmas ! they said she broke company policy! what a company to work for ! they are denying unemployment benefits to her! i hope that company goes broke!
Stealth, i worked for them for 11 yrs, i got tired of the way they treated employee's, the lady in question took in a 1.48 dollar coupon from an eldery customer that was a valid coupon by the way! why don't you get a job there and see for yourself! yes i wish they would go belly up! chek and see where most of their product comes from, work for them for a while and see what happens!
Trust me every bad thing they are saying about rite aid is 100% true... i worked there for two years and they treat the employees like crap. They constantly interrogate their employees and think they are stealing, and I have known several wonderful managers 1 who was with the company 22 years get fired for things that are completley ridiculous. And you want to know why they got fired for real because rite aid is was or still is going broke and did not want to pay their managers a salary worth any thing so instead of having hardworking dedicated managers they fired them, gave shift supervisor less money promoted them to manager and completely got rid of the assistant managers position, then hired new employees making less pay as a chift supervisor(which by the way makes all most the exact amount as a cashier at rite aid.) This company is one of the worst i have eve worked for. I know all this to be true because a friend of mine still works for the company has for about 6 years and is good friends with a loss prevention manager who is works along side the district manage and he gets all the information from a reliable source. and really there are still so many things that i didnt mention that they do to their employees that is just wrong, if you have never worked for this company you can get mad about all the things being said about it but you dont know how it is ...it really is a terrible compnay to work for and these people are probably completely right in everything they said
Ken Gass grabbed my hair and tried to cut my ponytail off with a pair of office scissors and told me that it is his job to initiate the new girls back on August 6, 2010 and about August 19th, I filed a police report and complained to Mr. Palko, Mr. Ortley and Ms. Breed. My hours were cut to just 15 a week. I am in the middle of a sexual harassment complaint via the commission on human relations and have told Mr. Palko and Debbie breed several times to stop calling me at home and showing up on my job, if you want information about my situation have Ken's lawyer contact the commision. Kens lawyer offered me $500.00 to quit then $1, 000.00 then $2, 000.00. I should not have to quit my job because the manager is abusive towards women. Mr. Hanson called my home about two weeks ago knowing that he is not supposed to talk to me. Heres what gets to me, my sexual harassment case has been lingering for seven months and not one corporate manager has given me a grievance form to fill out but my hours and dutuies have been cut. Ken told me in August that he does not hire men, well wouldn't you know he just hired a man a few weeks ago to cover his tracks. I show up for work on time and ready to work and the only complaints I get is why are you dressed like the manager who do you think you are, what's up with the make-up? We don't dress like that we don't look like that. Heres my argument if I had more hours maybe I could afford to dress down. It's ok for the employees to talk, tweet or eat all day. Curse out their boyfriends on the cell phone. leave the cash office door cracked because they don't want to use their key, let the family use the employee only bathroom or sit in the cash office, shop on the clock, make strange transactions on each others register. But when I tell ken to stop trying to cut my hair off it is offensive to him and the other girls. A woman should not have to put up with sexual abuse of any kind just to work at Rit Aid. just my opinion.
Joename I just read your story and it's not what you know it's who likes you at Rite Aid. I witnessed a shift manager take a customers credit card # over the phone to purchase a can of cat food because they were out of town and the sitter was on her way up to the store. We are not supposed to work on each others register but I have seen employee's working on mine that's why I haven't taken a 15 minute break since October 2010. A shift manager didn't feel like counting down Robins drawer and told Yuri to jump on and wait on customers. Allison told me one night to clean the outside windows of the Shadyside store and not three minutes into it I see Jennifer working on my register, I flung the door open and asked what was going on and Aliison said she was doing something on Jens register and it is ok. I said it is not ok. When I finished the windows Allison told me to work Jennifers register for a moment because we had a line, I said are you kidding me? She told me to do something else and I looked up and she did a transaction on my drawer and threw the receipt away and then did another transaction and stuffed it with the rest of the money. I said woe did you just do a pick up? she blew me off and replied Yes. I said can I count it? She played games talked to a customer for a long time and started toward the office which is what I did not want. I said excuse me Allison I need to count that. She ignored me went into the office for a few minutes, came back out and said now you can count it. I said it's too late, but I counted it anyway. That was the same night she let her sister (non employee) use the bathroom and stay in the cash office with her. I told Denny Palko about it he said it is ok because it's her sister. Are you kidding me? It's not what you know Joename it's who likes you at Rite Aid. I hope you and your wife get reimbursed for your trouble. just my opinion.
I can tell you that Rite Aid is extremely bias and unfair to certain employees. I myself am employed by rite aid and have been with the company for about three years. At least I was. I don't know about anymore...here is my story. I have worked at my Rite Aid for going on 3 years. In that time I have had nothing but a great repor with my fellow associates, my customers, and managers. All of my reviews came back as outstanding and though I had been promised a shift management position over two years ago, however after each review I was given a measly 16cents raise and a thankyou for my outstanding service. A few months ago I got an offer from a competing pharmacy. I did not immediately accept the offer. Instead I gave Rite Aid the chance to show that the company truly valued me. I let my managers know about my other job offer and they said they hoped Rite Aid would do the right thing by me. Months later I have accepted the offer from the other pharmacy and I gave my notice. I explained that as I have 4 children, I needed to think about whats right for my family. Seeing as I was being offered over 30% more than what Rite Aid paid me with a title position and full benefits and guaranteed hours, this was the best decision. Now, I work with awesome people at my store...all of them, great people. The company itself? Fickle and ungrateful and more importantly manipulative and devious. A week to the day after giving my notice, the LP manager comes to the store and suspends me for an offense that he never actually said and would not explain, or show me evidence. I have never taken anything or given anything nor anything else that would require LP talk to me. I have never done anything wrong period. Whats more suspicious to me is that the LP used to work for the pharmacy I am supposed to start working at next week. I have contacted human resources and I have contacted an attorney. I am not going to back down. Again, this man NEVER even told me WHAT I was being accused of. He refused an explanation and evidence. It is totally bizarre. I still feel dumbfounded and discombobulated. I feel so stabbed in the back by a company that I darn near killed myself for even though grossly underpaid because after an economy crash and a divorce, its all I had to support my children. I finally have a chance to earn more for my family and I feel completely set up for sabatage. Joesname and his wifes story, and actually all that I have read seems to coincide completely with my experience. I am so sorry to all that this company has treated wrongly and I hope you all have justice to the same degree I hope for myself. Be blessed
Pharmacy was to lazy to call medicare to correct a billing claim for medication. Insisted I call medicare only to be told it was the pharmacy responseability to obtain the billing information to correctly bill medicare. To date they still won't call medicare. If you have a medicare Rx plan don't use Alhambra or K st Rite Aid they are the laziest and most non-professional phamacy in the Sacramento area and not even to mention their crudeness, even medicare was shocked by their attuide. Neighbor independent
pharmacies are the best.
I use Rite aid and I personally think they are great. I also PAY for my lovely insurance and do not depend on the state because I'm on welfare. People on medicare expect too much, you should be thanking us.
I was thinking of Medicade actually, I had the two mixed up.
*Medicaid*
Dropped off a camera to be developed last week, made sure I checked off what I wanted checked with the clerk to make sure it was right. She said yes and then verbally told her I wanted just a cd. she said that is what I marked. went to get it today and the store charged me for double prints i did not order and no cd. when i took special care to make sure it was right. then she tell me something different. train your clerks to say the same things. so we dont pay more for unwated merchandise !
went to rite aid to pick up prescription (rite aid location 9810 Apollo Dr, Largo Md 20774) one car was there to pick up presc. before me was sitting there when i pulled up. i waited in line for 20 min. along with another car behind me and no service...
called the manager he claims he was going to check it out the employees told him it wasnt 20 min... i asked the employee y was that car there for so long she stated there was a problem with presc. but nobody even came over to the window until i called twice...
the car in front of me that was at the window for a total of 28 min was just waiting in the pick up line when they should have moved him...
policy according to the manager is if there'sa problem they are to move the car which apparently didnt happen or i wouldnt b leaving this complaint...
to top things off they gave me a pharmacy district manager-Sonjay's- and his number which is suppose to b [protected]. dailed the number got some guy name Blair who claims to b Sonjay's assistant...
and in which he (Blair) took my number and said he would have Sonjay call me back...we all know how that goes still waiting on the call...
well if ur walking on cruthes then i think u would have stay in line smart ### in reference to (health2011) comments
thats y its a pick-up window...for those people that have trouble getting around...but i suppose u dont know anything about that because ur not handicap with one leg...in fact might have been the ### in front of me
lol
You are all wrong. I was the guy in front and I have no legs OR arms. Hence the hold up.
I recently went into a rite aid to shop located (5627 Chestnut Street, Pennsylvania 19139) and I realized someone was trying to pick pocket me. I then proceeded to the front of the store for a manager or security officer to report the incident.
I was informed by Rite Aide workers that they don't have any security or protection for its customers nor staff. They were told to call 911 and they advised me that police officers usually takes half to hour to show.
I believed that that this corporation should protect its customers at all times while on their premises. I look forward to receiving your explanation of these matters.
Although there is no general duty to protect others form the criminal activity of third persons, business owners have a duty to take reasonable precautions to protect their customers form criminal acts of third persons.
This duty only arises under a limited set of circumstances in which the criminal act was reasonably foreseeable to the owner
There are four different approaches to the foreseeability issue:
Specific harm rule: landowner owes a duty to protect customers from criminal acts only when he is aware of the specific imminent harm about to occur
Similar incidents test: a plaintiff can establish foreseeability form presenting evidence of similar crimes on or near the property
Totality of circumstances: (most widely used) takes into account, similar incidents, nature, condition and location of the land, level of crime in surrounding area, any other relevant factual circumstances.
Balancing test: (CA and TN use this) court weighs the foreseeability and gravity of the harm against the burden imposed on business to protect its customers from that harm.
A will adopt the balancing test:
The greater the foreseeability and gravity of the harm, the higher the duty of care imposed upon businesses.
Most important factor will be the existence, frequency, and similarty of other crimes committed on the property.
What does the form you filled out say? I'm confused when you said you filled it out then told her you wanted something else? Sounds like you might of confused her or there might of been miss-communication. She probably processed the order by what you wrote. If that isn't the case then did you speak to her or a manager about it or just complain on this board?
I went into a Rite Aid in Hixson Tennessee to get a refund on a green dot card because I didn't realize you had to wait on a card to come in the mail before you could use it. When I got back to the store where I bought the item the clerk said we don't do refunds on these even with a receipt. I asked for the manager and was told he is off. When I asked his name I was told it was Mike Pemberton and that once he gets off at 5 pm they are not allowed to call him! I will not buy anything here again since they don't support my purchases when there is a problem.

I went to pick up a prescription from Rite Aide that my doctor had faxed over, I had got a call from the pharmacy saying that it was ready for pick up. I got there and It was not ready so I waited 15 min, I drove off, then after looking at what i got, it was not at all what I had ordered or what the doctor had faxed to Rite Aide. I went back and they returned it for me then I had to wait again while they filled the correct prescription. I then called in after 2 days for a different prescription and got a run around and the lady Pam was so rude, she wouldn't even let me explain what was going on or what I needed (( had gotten chewable vitamins and my son wouldn't take them so I had the doctor fax over a new prescription for liquid vitamins) She told me that she couldn't do it because 2 days ago i just filled it, she was just unreasonable so I asked her name and she wouldn't give it to me instead she interrupted me and said "here's the manager if u got a problem" Why are those people still employed when they obviously hate their jobs, but there are tons of people wanting jobs, and would have better attitudes to paying customers!

This has to be the rudest most non-customer friendly place I have ever been. I have come up to the service window and found customer information in the bin outside and no one at the window. That time I wound up driving around to the store entrance and going in and finally after 30 min and no one else there in line got served. I talked to the store manager about the information out in the window and it was still there when I left. This time trying to get prescriptions my wife was told they were not ready this was 02/13/12. I came back on 02/12/12 and Kyla told me again that they were not ready and that the Dr had not called them in I said my mother had just got off the phone you told her they were there she said nope they did not. So I asked the name of the lead pharmacist and then the prescriptions materialized. When I looked at the date on the bottles they were dated for 2/13/12 the day my wife came down. The tall black skinny lady pharmacist came to the window would not share any information said have a nice valentines days and just gave a big grin laughing. Joe Sweet and Brittney Cox was the names of who runs the pharmacy and the store managers name is Dawyn Lennon or Lisa Piercy. I encourage all the other people that they mistreat to file a complaint, this is the poorest excuse for a pharmacy I have ever dealt with.
Yes I should have proofed my complaint better the date should read the 2/14 vice 2/12
The waiting period at this place is unreal. I was there the other day, the only one in line and waited for 20 or so minutes to get my script. Not only that, but when someone did pull in behind me, I had to go get at the end of then line. It started out because I didn't mention that my script should be matched with the Wal-Mart $4, so I understood the wait for him to ring it up again. What I didn't understand was having to move to the end of the line because he ended up charging me the full price twice then having to get a manager to fix it. I could tolerate it if this happens occasionally, but to have to sit in line for at least 20 to 30 minutes or more every time I go is ridiculous. It would help if they would have more than one person working the drive thru and the walk-in register..
