Rite Aid Complaint - Internet Contests

Complaint
Review by jab083899 on 2011-12-20
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA -- You tell people to enter your contest on customer service. You have to enter this contest by internet. What about the people that don't have a computer. Why do all companies take for granted all have a computer. I use a computer at the library.

Thank You

Janet A. Boyle

So you have found a solution to your problem.
Very helpful review.

there is a very strong trend to internet-this and that...which can be handled by a trip to the library - if it is still there, if it is open, if the computer area is staffed, if the computers are maintained, if, if, if.
The complaint is valid, a large segment of the population does not have or can not easily access computers for activities. But are they really the ones that are being targeted by the internet activity - the internet connected shopper might be the target here. Should one lose out due to the digital divide?

as of 2009 about 69% of US households had a computer. Sorry, but I think they're targeting the majority of the poputlation here. the OP themselves said that they access the computer at the library, so even if they don't own one, they have access to one. The other 'ifs' that were mentioned are complaints against the library. not Rite-Aid. Participate or don't. it's a contest and you'll be no worse off if you don't participate.
