Rite Aid is done. Everybody can see there is no future here. If you are smart, you are already looking for a new job.

Now that we know Standley is out for sure, does anybody think whoever they bring in as his replacement will be any better? I'm not saying it's impossible, but it is very improbable. I'm also afraid that once we have new leadership, they'll want to... —  read more
