when did Walmart become the good guy?

So in the ongoing search for a decent sunscreen for my face I have tried Aveeno Face SPF 100.

Long story short, it went back today to Walmart. Now I've had it for about a month, so I had long ago thrown out the receipt. They gladly refunded my money(granted I did have to show my id for tracking purposes) . And done.
Onwards to Rite-Aid. (yes another Rite-Aid story). My original reason for going there was to search for the new LE Wet n Wild bronzers. While I was there I stopped by the sunscreens, knowing I needed a replacement   for the Aveeno. I wound up getting Neutrogena Spectrum+Face.

 Also another needed to be returned item. Now here's the kicker, I had the receipt for this, I paid cash. And they hand me a gift card. /joy
Yes, I will be contacting them.

Here is their return policy:

Trying new products is one of the great joys of visiting Beauty Isle.
But sometimes what you see in the mirror at home leaves you less than overjoyed. Not a problem! You can always return beauty items for a full refund at Rite Aid.
Rite Aid it's not just a store. It's a solution

Get daring with your choices. Play it safe with your pocketbook.
That's the beauty of shopping at Rite Aid. Get all the details below.

The Rite Aid 100% Risk-Free Beauty Guarantee.*
Any opened or used beauty product of any brand name can be returned for a full refund when accompanied by a register receipt. Beauty categories subject to the guarantee are skin care/depilatories, sun care, bath/soap, hair care (shampoo, conditioner, styling and professional), hair color, cosmetics, ethnic beauty aids, fragrances, cosmetic organizers and personal care appliances.

According to the cashier, their policy is gift cards only on returns. 

So newest trial run (my face is going to hate me...) is the L'oreal Sublime Sun. I do wish I could have found one that had a higher SPF. 

My biggest annoyance with Rite-Aid has got to be they are the only ones that carry Jesse's Girl makeup. I will probably have to order off the website from now on. 

So once again...when did Walmart become the Good guy??

and some days i simply don't learn

Well, one day maybe I will. I had stopped shopping at Rite-Aid after the coupon problems I had back in Dec. I had gotten a nice 25% off coupon. Okay, so it says not available on sale items,clearance, etc etc. So I had gotten all non sale items. And for some reason it did not take anything off of any of my purchases. It wound up taking like 15 minutes, 1 cashier, 2 managers and 3 separate registers to complete my purchase.
So yesterday I went over to my parents' house, and there is a really nice Rite-Aid on the drive there. And honestly they always have the best displays of any of the drugstore in the area. Wonderful end caps of new and limited edition items. Really fun to just roam up and down the aisles there.
So I found this wonderful beautiful Illuminati powder by Maybelline, and Maybelline is buy one get one half off.  And, and I found some of those lovely attached coupons....hehe. So I get the Dream Smooth Mousse. And off to the register I go.
Oops, forgot my drink, I quick grab a Starbucks yummy Mocha..oooh, it's on sale for 2.09. Nice.


Get to the register, scan the silly card. Shift manager(they must have my photo behind the counter...) rings me up. The drink does not come up at sale price, the Maybelline does not ring up bogo.
I mentioned this to him and we rescan the card. Still nothing.
ummm....
And he says to me...'just slide your debit card it will take it off after the purchase'
ummm, no it won't, and no I won't.
I am a horrible customer. So another 15 minutes sucked outta my life while he fixes this.
I didn't even get a chance this morning to use any of it simply because I was running late again getting out of the house.

Rite-Aid----boo hiss for not having your sales correctly updated!!
