OK FRIENDS, I NEED YOUR HELP!
So I really have not wanted to post my beyond awful Rite Aid trip I had the last week of June but I now feel I need to and am in search of some advise. I am going to make a long story as short as possible though ( I hope )

It goes like this...
Customer (that's me) goes into local rite aid w/ coupons in hand DUH... Pick's out a few item's and heads to check out. Cashier although very, very nice said she had to double check that she was able to take more than 1 (not a problem as I knew it was allowed)
In enters the not so friendly manager who seemed very, very irriated and wanted to argue about my coupons. I was very nice and explained I had read R.A's coupon policy and felt as though I could use these after a min or two she said fine. The very nice cashier finished ringing up my order and suggested I should call corp. and get the coupon pol. in writing. Good idea I thought. She then asked the not so friendly manager to get me the #. Right then I knew I was going to have a problem. The manager tossed the papers she was holding down and walked into a back room. Now this is where I probly should have chose to walk away but I did not, instead I took out my cell and began recording the counter top as soon as she walked back out. I asked her to please write her name and explained to her that she made me feel very unwanted in her store. She completly ignores everyword. Next is where I REALLY should have decided to walk out but again did not LOL... After she handed me the # I lifted up my cell to show her I was recording and said exactly this "I am so glad I am recording this right now so I can show corporte how rude you treat your customer's using coupons." Then the manager decides to reach across a counter and HIT ME! Yes, she hit me. Now this point I will admit I was now a ###. When she hit me my phone fell, cracking the screen as well as leaving scratches on the back. I was also bleeding on my left hand ( i will admit it was a scratch from her finger nail I think, not a life threating injury!) I picked my phone up and then said "Now you really ###ed yourself, I'm calling the cops. I can't believe you just hit me" She then denied hitting me and I said "ok, it's on video" Well, from there the cops come she gets charged w/ battery they take my video for evidence as well as R.A's video. Here's where my problem is, RITE AID is being complete jerks about all of this. #1 the cop calls me 3 days later to let me know they turned the case over to the d.a. and wanted to let me know that rite aid chose to suspen this manager for 3 days. (he did say he wasn't sure he could really be saying this but felt I should know) I can not believe a manager can do this and not be fired on the spot!
#2 All I want is for R.A. to fix the crack in the screen on my phone and they will not return my calls! I have left 3 or 4 msg's with no luck!

WHAT DO I DO?

This store lacks any ounce of professional service and actually have been very rude and contrite on more than one occassion. The pharmacist has been condescending and non approachable. In addition, I've ordered my medications via phone 24 hours in advance only to find that they aren't ready the following day.The pharmacist acted annoyed that I was attempting to make a purchase. Perhaps this is why this store is rarely busy, I know they won't have to worry about my business any longer. I refuse to be treated in this shameful manner when I'm spending thousands of dollars there every year, not to mention what my insurance is paying.

Before my shift yesterday Ken the store manager took my drawer and walked past me mumbling 'I have to get quarters' he brang it back from the office and pretended to be engaged in an important conversation with Robin so I waited for him to leave from behind the counter. After a while I clocked in, when he left for the day I heard him say to Robin "Don't forget what we talked about' she replied 'Don't worry about her have a great day'. I had a pretty good line and got on the intercalm and said 'Customer assistance needed up front please' Robin came up very rudely and said 'If you can't call me Robin I'm not coming up to help you' I said 'When I call a specific person to help me you either don't come up or you send somone else in your place, so Terry told me to say customer assistance up front please' instead of waiting on customers she said "Well I'm just telling you' when she was going to the back of the store she said 'No one likes you it's only a matter of time before Ken gets rid of you, no one likes you its only a matter of time' I replied 'If you have any else to say to me tell my boss and she will get back to me' (Terry was the manager on duty at the time) Robin said 'No one likes you it's only a matter of time before your gone' I said 'Like I said if you have any thing to say to me talk to my boss' she left and Terry Seals came up and said call her Robin when you need help and I said 'But you told me' Terry cut me short "I know just call for Robin'. I needed ones and opened a bundle and found a twenty dollar bill mixed in with it and ofcourse Ken was gone and I could not confront him about why he took my drawer in the first place, I looked at my slip and realized that he had made a drawer for me which is unusual because everything is done before the store even opens so he should have communicated with me to count my drawer before he left instead of making me think he was getting a roll of quarters. Well at the end of my shift Terry counted my drawer and it was twenty dollars over and I think that it is not fair at all because I'm stuck and Ken is free and clear because he did not tell me what he was actually doing with the drawer in the first place. I should not be kicked out of Rite Aid because I don't want Ken to touch me or pull my hair, it's silly. I still have not heard anything from coporate about my previous complaint, if the other females want to horse play with Ken that is their problem I wasn't raise like that.

I complained about Allison doing a pick up on my drawer without me being present and not allowing me to count the money and also about the store manager pulling my hair and trying to cut off my ponytail twice. Denny from corporate said that he would come back to speak with me again, the next thing I know I'm short on the register and my drawer is being tampered with before my shift, what gives?

Real $imple. $ue $ue $ue. If you did something illegal by recording without knowledge then fine but theres no right for someone to hit you or try to break your phone. First off Riteaid is recording your every move in the store so why cant you. Second i bet this manager was black or a stuck up white ### because trust me it cant be anything else. Managers know not to mess with me because i take the law into my own hands. mess with my coupons and ill find out where you live. So simple becasue u knwo where they work. Anyhow i would sue and i would have went to the er for a aids test because who knows what that lady has. Turn that coupon into a moneymaker lol. Good luck and make sure you look for a lawyer who loves to sue big companies.

Y0u could have made the report even shorter.

1. You tried to use a coupon and the manager didn't think I could use it on multiple items, but later agreed.
2. You wanted the corporate number even though the manager let you use multiple coupons.
3. You started recording the manager without their knowledge
4. You got "###"(YOUR WORDS)
5. The manager hit you

First the manager should not have hit you. But they are not the only one at fault in this, in fact I think both of you needed a "Time Out". The sad part is that even though both of you are probably at fault, Rite Aid will probably try and settle this. So if they do don't think they are doing this because you were right.

As for 2 party concent. You may be saved on the fact that the store is a "public" place, where there is not an expectation of privacy. Unlike a phone conversation between two people in the privacy of their own home(s).
