Probably 50% of the women I talk to about Rite Aid don't like the place. However 100% of the men I talk to do not have any problem with anyone there.
I have never had a problem with anyone there...I guess it doesn't hurt to be tall dark and handsome though.
I walk in and get a smile from everyone and they will even talk to me about anything and everything.
Seriously though, many times women will not be greeted the same way a man will. Most stores have women who wait on you and I have seen some pretty good cat fights between sales staff and women customers.
I never really worry about how the staff of a store treats me as long as I can find what I want and then be on my way.
