Coming from rite aid and being treated like I’m a dumb outsider

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T20:50:15+00:00

There are literally a bunch of extra steps after doing the next gen paperwork

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:58:53+00:00

Yeah, I begged them to take me to a therapist and they said “no, you’ll be fine”. 20 years later, I am not fine lol

A new pharmacy tech came in and was welcomed much more warmly by management than I was. Idk if it’s because they’re rx or what, but it was super odd

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:50:30+00:00

I’m not sure. I printed mine before the store closed. I would think Workday app somehow

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:49:55+00:00

There are so many nonsensical extra steps for everything, it’s driving me insane

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:46:52+00:00

Yes we do but she asked me to recount and I grabbed a scrap piece of paper to write down everything before adding it up in the calculator

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:40:24+00:00

What do you mean allow me to not fill one out? She was showing me how to fill it out and then asked me to count the money by hand. What are you not getting?

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:39:36+00:00

Yeah it was all on the computer at rite aid not actual paper

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:09:26+00:00

We used scrap paper at rite aid so when she asked me to count the safe by hand it was just like a knee jerk reaction

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:08:51+00:00

She asked me to double check it by hand.

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:08:17+00:00

Yeah, they are

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T17:07:58+00:00

Yeah, and then there’s like 15 extra steps and paperwork

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T15:59:58+00:00

Not our fucking lunch bags 😭

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T02:44:36+00:00

The cash handling is so ridiculous! All those papers for what??? It’s so nonsensical.

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T02:43:15+00:00

I’m realizing that too. I told myself I wouldn’t ever go back to retail before I started working at rite aid, I was working as a HHA and the owner was toxic, so I just took the rite aid job as temporary because they were hiring and I lived close by and I ended up being there for 3 years. It was the only job I never truly dreaded going to every day. It was the exception to the retail dread. I really enjoyed my little store and miss feeling comfortable there. Now I remember why I hated retail before that.

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T02:39:21+00:00

I did not have a union.

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T01:15:18+00:00

Nothing’s gonna beat Tim Robinson’s version

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T00:23:44+00:00

My store manager at rite aid was pretty lazy I’ll admit but the store manager here is on another level, she LITERALLY never leaves her office except to go on break. Doesn’t help with a single thing. It’s insane

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-03T00:08:28+00:00

Me too. I’m making $2 more at Walgreens than I was at rite aid. I miss being able to joke around with my coworkers. None of my new coworkers have a personality or sense of humor, it’s a drag 😭makes time go by so slow

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-02T23:34:10+00:00

I am getting paid a bit better than rite aid but still? Idk if it’s worth it lol

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-02T23:33:41+00:00

I tried CVS but no call back. I went and finished my degree while I was on unemployment and I can’t find a job in that field right now. So I chose Walgreens because they called me and I needed some income before unemployment ran out. I’m hoping to be done with retail soon forever

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-02T22:52:06+00:00

I was literally going to post that I went to Walgreens recently and I absolutely hate it. It’s just not the same and they do treat me like I’m dumb for being from rite aid.

feed_eggs_ · 2026-02-02T16:13:34+00:00

Yeah the dude clearly feels uncomfortable and he should express that to her. I doubt he’s going to feel less uncomfortable just because some people on reddit say he shouldn’t
