Fraud at my Rite Aid

Part 1

Ich, the intrepeid Rite Aid employee brings you this tale of an enterprising young fellow who was able to get a carton of cigarettes and a couple lighters (a 50 dollar value) absolutely free!

According to the timer on the tape, at 8:24 PM, a man walked into our Rite Aid, back towards the pharmacy. He left at 8:26 PM with (apparently) a bag of stuff from Pharmacy, and three containers of weight gainer tucked under his arms.

On a side note: the pharmacy (as well as the 1 hour photo) can ring people up, so there are a lot of people who come in who I never see. I am usually the only cashier working during my shifts, or with one other person. People walking out without bags is also quite normal; people don't usually need bags if they only bought one item. Because the items came from among the vitamin/healthcare products, pharmacy would normally ring him up in addition to his prescriptions.

He re-entered about 15 minutes later, and told me he bought the wrong thing, but had thrown out his receipt. At this point, I didn't realize that he had just been in. I told him that all we could give him was store credit, so he said "Okay, I need a carton of cigs anyway."

I returned them and gave him the carton of cigarettes, and called my manager over, and she approved. He filled out the return slip with a bogus address (420 South 2nd St.) and with a pseudonym. It was only later that I said "I think something about that guy was familiar" and we checked the stock on the Weight Gain, which was 3 over what it should have been (remember, returning them automatically adds three to the total inventory count for the item). We rewound the tape, and--lo and behold--a white man with a goatee and ballcap did not pay for the weight gain, or anything back at pharmacy. There's 50 dollars of shrink that we should have stopped. I asked the on-duty manager if we'd file a police report, and she said the store manager wouldn't likely even bother. The man's only failure was that I saw him when he was exiting the first time.

So this story is going out to all you managers and store clerks out there, who want to help stop fraud. Or, you can use this for study purposes only. I don't really care. If you're going to go out and use this to make "free" money, go ahead, but understand that this is of your own volition and I cannot be held responsibility. Also, rip off someone else; my parents own stock in Rite Aid. Direct your questions or comments to [email protected]

Part 2

Ich, the intrepeid Rite Aid employee brings you this tale of a young man who got a little under $150 in cash + a pepsi and several boxes of frozen White Castle cheeseburgers at no cost to himself.

He entered the store with vitamins and a valid receipt, the bottom of which was torn off. He said he had gotten the wrong vitamins (expensive ones at that!) and wanted to return them. With a valid receipt, we won't give you any trouble. The problem we had here was he tore off the section of the receipt stating that he had paid with a credit card, and my co-worker gave him cash in the exchange. Later examination of the receipts discovered he had purchased the vitamins about 25 minutes ago in a Rite Aid about 10 minutes away, and with a credit card. The credit card, it goes without saying, did not belong to him. He did not complete return slip that everybody is instructed to fill out; it had a classic pseudonym, Mike Hunt, and he gave a fake address, plus (almost definately) a bogus phone number.

What gets better is that he had purchased three boxes of these vitamins, and said he needed three separate receipts, because they were for three separate people for whom he was shopping. The man was able to turn a single credit card he had somehow gained through likely underhanded means into around 150 dollars in cash by visiting four separate area Rite Aids, and all he had to do was carefully tear three receipts and lie.

So this story is going out to all you managers and store clerks out there who want to help stop fraud. Or, you can use this for study purposes only. I don't really care. If you're going to go out and use this to make "free" money, go ahead, but understand that this is of your own volition and nobody but yourself can be held responsibile. Also, rip off someone else; my parents own stock in Rite Aid. Direct your questions or comments to [email protected] .
