Associates no longer want to be promoted, because you have no advantage, you work the worst hours for just a litte more pay. stores are being shipped too much merchandise and no where to display it. Inventory results are coming back poor. Happy Associates make for better workers. Pharmacy customers are growing more and more unhappy with longer wait times. Sales are down.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/9179673595188040838/comments/default/6708892583752127297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/9179673595188040838/comments/default/6708892583752127297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.drugchannels.net/2008/06/rite-aid-from-worse-to-awful.html?showComment=1222262520000#c6708892583752127297' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.drugchannels.net/2008/06/rite-aid-from-worse-to-awful.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28450497.post-9179673595188040838' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/posts/default/9179673595188040838' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28450497.post-1396816557052030601</id><published>2008-08-20T19:18:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-20T19:18:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>To the anonymous writer who states we sell expired...</title><content type='html'>To the anonymous writer who states we sell expired drugs,, think again, we have had an outdate program in progress for several years,you are wrong, and as for shabby stores, open your eyes, they are clean and organized, more so than CVS and Walgreens, and our pharmacists are happy,,, they get paid alot and if not they would have left by now, why are you so critical????</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/9179673595188040838/comments/default/1396816557052030601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/9179673595188040838/comments/default/1396816557052030601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.drugchannels.net/2008/06/rite-aid-from-worse-to-awful.html?showComment=1219274280000#c1396816557052030601' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.drugchannels.net/2008/06/rite-aid-from-worse-to-awful.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28450497.post-9179673595188040838' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/posts/default/9179673595188040838' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28450497.post-9187192306769199380</id><published>2008-08-14T22:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-14T22:49:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>indeed, morale is low- seasonal merchandise and pl...</title><content type='html'>indeed, morale is low- seasonal merchandise and planning is horrible- pharmacists are thought of as gods while everyone else in the store is whipped into submission with nary a free thought- corporate, and those who run it, have not done much to take care of its employees and if you don't do that, how do you expect them to take care of the customer?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/9179673595188040838/comments/default/9187192306769199380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/9179673595188040838/comments/default/9187192306769199380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.drugchannels.net/2008/06/rite-aid-from-worse-to-awful.html?showComment=1218768540000#c9187192306769199380' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.drugchannels.net/2008/06/rite-aid-from-worse-to-awful.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28450497.post-9179673595188040838' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/posts/default/9179673595188040838' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28450497.post-361460912063617662</id><published>2008-06-27T17:35:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-27T17:35:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Rite Aid will only get worse for so many reasons. ...</title><content type='html'>Rite Aid will only get worse for so many reasons.  Lawsuits in NYS for selling expired medications to the public.  Major Medicaid cuts coming in July in NYS, and to be followed in other States where they have stores.  Morale in the stores are low, and the stores themselves are looking shabbier and shabbier.  No pharmacists wants to work for them, and those who do are miserable.  This is a company that will be sold off soon.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/9179673595188040838/comments/default/361460912063617662'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/9179673595188040838/comments/default/361460912063617662'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.drugchannels.net/2008/06/rite-aid-from-worse-to-awful.html?showComment=1214602500000#c361460912063617662' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.drugchannels.net/2008/06/rite-aid-from-worse-to-awful.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28450497.post-9179673595188040838' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28450497/posts/default/9179673595188040838' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
