You suck Rite Aid!!

Dear Rite- Aid Pharmacy:

I have a bone to pick with you. I want to know who came up with the stupid idea of putting the customers money/credit card/debit card IN the prescription bag with the bottle of pills.

Really?!

You put the money/card in there and then shove a bunch of useless pamphlet information in there and the staple it all shut. WHY??? The card gets lost in all the pamphlets and well it shouldn't be in there anyways! It takes more effort to put it in the effin' bag then it does just to give it back to me!!

Why can't you to send the bag and the money/card through the drive through slot separately??

You see...I was very inconvenienced this morning when I went to the gas station on my way to work to grab one of their energy infused coffees....(I really needed that shockwave of coffee!) and then when it was time to pay, I couldn't find my debit card. ANYWHERE!! I spent so much time looking for it that I ended up being late to work and without having any of my shock wave coffee!! This was not good!

It was only after I gave up looking did it dawn on me that it was probably in the prescription bag. You see..you corporate monger..you have tricked me before with this sly move and I have thrown away precious cash!

I'm wondering if it is just you and maybe not all your other branches do it. I know one of you has a crush on the Duke.... are you doing this to mess with me???

Well, you didn't get me this time!! I hurried up and called the Duke and made him go out to the trash on the side of the road ( yes, it was trash day!) and search through the trash for that prescription bag that held my beloved debit card. So the joke's on you Rite Aid !!!! I got it and
I 'm not going to fall for your Shenanigans again. And the Duke's mad at you too now ...so watch out!

The Lady Jane ( who loved the idea of open letters that many bloggers do....oh, no is this plagiarizing??? gah.....I hope not...i don't want to be the latest sensation on the internet!!)

  1. That's about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! How stupid of them! Have you ever called to complain or asked at the window that they not do that anymore? I'm sure if they kept getting customer complaints they would stop doing it.

  2. Way to stick it to The Man! The next time you pay you should staple your card in a bag and send it through to them and see how they like it!

  6. That is really insane that they would do that. I would be the first one to throw away my card. Glad that the Duke was able to get your card for you.

  11. Yes! Open blog letters!

    I can't believe they would do that. It doesn't even make sense. That's not convenient for anyone.

  12. Walgreens does the same thing. It drives me crazy, but not as crazy as it makes me when my boss staples money together.

  13. Seriously? WTF? Why would they do that?

    And no, you're not plagarizing! It's your own letter/rant! You go girl!

  14. You're not plagerizing. You're interpreting and being inspired by other bloggers. I do it more than you know! If anyone wants to get mad...they can stop reading.

    I don't even know if we have Rite Aids in KC. But I'm pretty sure I won't go to them if we do.

  15. Open blog letters are great...I'm always a fan!
    Not so much a fan of what happened to you though - that's not cool!!

  16. I've never had a rite aide do this to me. I'd club 'em if they did. No joke.

  17. Open letters are public domain. ;-)

    And this one is fab. I would FLIP if they did that to me, because I know I would have thrown it away. Asshats!

  18. Hi "Lady Jane,"

    I'm sorry to hear about your experience. This is not a policy, and I'd like to investigate. Would you please call me and share where and when this occurred so that I may pursue.

    Thanks in advance for your time,

  19. My rite aid doesn't do this but if they tried anything remotely similar, I would want to punch them in the nose. And where the heck did Eric come from?? That is cracking me up!
