I went into a Rite Aid pharmacy a couple days ago. Select a
couple items from the close out section. The perky young

one. "We can sign you right up for free! Just fill out...."
and I told her that's not going to happen. Well, find out
the only way they will give me the sale price, if I have a
"Wellness card". Which of course requires my name, adress,
etc. I do not wish to be tracked, tagged, marketed,
suggestive sold, and registered with their computer. I told
them to put thier own stuff back. Today I checked with a
different Rite Aid, and find out that's the same policy.
They just lost a customer.

I've got one. Doesn't bother me but card is scarcely worth it and you
only have to use it on sales items which I believe are just their brand.
Unless you pay for everything with cash, you're getting tracked anyway.
My meds come through the mail and other pharm supplies are much cheaper
at Walmart.
