Big corporations scamming middle class consumers. If Romney wins the election, expect this kind of law enforcement to end.

It seems that the prosecution probably cost a lot more than $1457.

If Obama wins the election, expect prices to continue to rise with increased regulation and corp taxes.

BTW, who do you think pays corp taxes? Corporations cannot just print money like Obama can. Every additional dollar of tax must be passed on to the consumer.

This story is about Rite Aid, not about Romney vs Obama. Keep your politics to yourselves. You get to vote in November...until then, we don't care.

Hahaha, $800,000 adds up to approximately 0.000032% of Rite Aide's total 2011 revenue of $25.2 billion. I think labeling this as a "slap on the wrist" would be overstating the situation.

I buy all my 420 supplies there.

Suckers are born every minute. That's all this was really about. Nice to see the DA wasting time and money on this.
