Do I have this right?

The number of closing stores keeps rising and the latest one I've heard is 145. Is this correct? I'd also like to know, if you're in one of the confirmed closing locations, did you know it was coming? Was there any indication ahead of time or were... —  read more

63 stores are closing

Rite Aid is closing 63 stores. I'm wondering, was everybody really offered a position in another location, or is that just bull they're saying to avoid bad publicity? I really hope it's true, but something tells me there's a... —  read more 

I'm leaving

Things have shifted dramatically in the past several years. I used to enjoy my job as much as I can but now the toxicity is off the charts. I used to laugh at people who'd say they see no future here and now I'm sadly one of them. I hope for the sake... —  read more

More layoffs?

We all know more layoffs are going to happen sooner rather than later so this wait is driving me insane. I've been trying to find a new job but I've been here long enough that whatever I find doesn't pay enough for me to make the switch right now... —  read more

Self checkout

One of the stores near me is being cut from being 24 hours, and is installing self checkout. The 24 hours thing isn't bad, but self checkout sounds like a disaster. People already steal with no problems, people will still need a cashiers assistance... —  read more

Hour cuts for holidays

Our store is having hours cut drastically, to the point we barely have any coverage, and there are even shifts where there will be only one person at front end. And this is all during the busiest time of the year. We got an email saying to make sure... —  read more

Bodaken and Syms out

Syms LinkedIn has been removed and Bodaken removed Rite Aid from his. Seems as if the integration with EnvisionRX and downsizing was all part of a bigger plan to partner with Pillpack. Rite Aid is going into E-commerce in a big way

Field Service was overstaffed

Too many technicians spent too much time beautifying equipment installations that no customer saw, and meant nothing to the bottom line. Had incompetent FTS regional management not burdened field techs with make-work and administrative tasks and... —  read more

Not a good sign??

Noticed some SEC filings today, that showed execs selling some shares right before earnings tomorrow. Stock actually did well today, up over 8%, but to have a nice rise ahead of earnings and then have execs sell? Something is up. Either short sellers... —  read more
