Once I had someone I’d never seen before loudly accuse me of stealing from him in a nearby store. I was working and unable to do much about it, and it was one of the most miserable, humiliating experiences I’ve ever had. Every single executive involved in this scheme needs to be repeatedly and randomly accused of being a thief in a public place so they see how they like it.
I hope the poor people humiliated by Rite Aid’s “pilot program” sued the company’s pants off.
