Hey realDonaldTrump - MAGA

As long as they keep offering ThriftyIceCream I'll still shop at Rite Aid

maybe change the name to Kool-Aid...wait ...that name is taken

Since Caremark has been allowed to vertically integrate (CVS as the provider and Aetna as the payor), they will put other pharmacies (maybe not Walgreens or Walmart) out of business. RiteAid ain’t long for this world.

2/ and all of the reasons they’re not keeping up with other chairs are the reasons they are great. Patients who go there go out of loyalty and satisfaction, not just because there is a Rite Aid on every other corner.

Lol

Why don't you complain about this like you did with the auto companies shutting down a couple places? Oh it wont fit your agenda? Got it makes sense now.
