I am very pissed off at the management at the Blythe, California Rite Aid Store. The Manager, James Vagts is a liar and was very rude to my son and his friend.

I would really like to speak with the big wig of Rite Aid to give him this story. I am sure he would be let go if he knew how his management team is treating the teenagers in our town. He also treated my Mother in Law very rude. I told my story below and I just cannot believe how this Manager told a bold face lie right to our faces.

Unbelievable!!!!!

Please, Please, Please, I really want someone to know about this Management at the Blythe Rite Aid store. I guess James felt like he had to bully a couple of very honest teenagers and lie about it later.

Location: Blythe, California

If it is the same James Vagts I know of, then yes, he is in fact a liar.

I'm sure it probably is.

It was probably your perfect son that was lying when he came crying to you about how rude the manager was to him. Your son is pathetic if he still comes crying to you whenever someone tells him he is wrong.

If your son was as perfect as you make him out to be, he would know better then to horse around in a store, had your son got hurt you would probably have sued the store because no one told him to stop. Also for an adult to go around calling people names online, no wonder your son is out of whack and creating trouble.

Your son is no angel if he is going to horse around in a store, what if he hurt himself or someone else. Would you pay for merchandise he damaged because he does now know how to behave himself. You have a problem here, you son is teenager and kids younger than him know how to behave in a store. They know the difference between a store and a playground and a store is not a place to run around.

Then again your son is perfect, all his teachers, friends, coaches ect are wrong when they complain about him. It is never his fault.

You need to hold your son's hand when he goes shopping.

If If's and buts were fruits and nuts, it would be christmas every day. That's the whole problem with you.

IF, IF IF. Thats all I hear. I have to sit here and laugh at your *** response because it really says a lot. You have nothing better to do but sit around and respond and make accusations to someone you don't even know.

So you keep on typing *** things to other people and keep getting your rocks off from doing so, because apparently it is all you have to do.

You probably don't work and live off our taxes so you are very bored and have no kids and no life. This will be my last response to you because I happen to have a life and no time to keep responding to idiots like you.

Rather than let them go, the next time the manager catches them, he should call the PD. Shoplifting is a crime.

They were not shoplifting they were messing around and damaging merchandise, which the mother would refuse to pay for if they had damaged the merchandise. She believes her child is an angel and kids will be kids. Her child is obviously too immature to be unsupervised whiles shopping which is a shame because some 11 year old's know how to act better with a parent monitoring them.

One thing I have learned in my many decades on this earth is to not trust the word of a teenager, especially if there are two of them involved. The manager is in charge of the store.

He kicked them out. He could have called the police. You and the kids should be thankful for that. You are making a scene and over-reacting.

This only encourages more bad behaviour on the part of your (probably)spoiled little angel.

The budding juvenile delinquents are not welcome in that Rite Aid. Get over it.

I am James, all these years later I do not waiver from my statement to the parents, I did no accuse anyone of stealing anything. These boys were in my store damaging mercgandise while they were horsplaying.

I asked them to leave. Parents then show up at the store with several members of their family in attempt to bully me and I explained the same thing over and over again and not once did I say anything disrespectful to anyone. I did my job and was called a lyer to my face. Your children are not angels nor are you in anyway better than I, you are human and make mistakes.

I have in my life as well, that day I did not, wish you no harm or foul and I'm disappointed in you but have lived my life from that point just fine..... I'll continue to stand up for what is right and nobody including you will stop me, God Bless you and your family, I hope those boys grow up to be successful and maybe one day they will not make the same mistakes.....

Oh but they are allowed in Rite Aid and always have been. Don't judge kids when you don't know them.

Maybe you should look in the mirror first. You are probably the delinquent with apparently no life so it makes you feel better to judge other people and thier kids. So I really don't have anything to "Get Over" Nikalseyn - I'm sure you and your kids are the biggest losers ever with no life!! Thats if you have any kids, which I feel sorry for if you do.

You are obviously very ignorant. For the record, there was no shoplifting going on (even James states that above), maybe a little horsplay which, yes, they were at fault - and I don't condone that, but strip search - I don't think so. Asking them to leave would be appropriate. Everyone sure has a lot of opinions when they don't know these boys at all or the situation.

These boys are an acception to most teenagers. Of course they are not perfect but who is and what the security did was uncalled for and way over the top. Horsing around and stealing are two different things. You don't call the police for that (GET A CLUE).

If you did, the Police wouldn't have time for much else. I've seen a lot of horsing around from kids when I'm just walking through the grocery store. They were strip searched in front of everyone outside the store (I have witnesses - and not the boys) and the manager found nothing of course. Well James I will definately be praying for you as well because when you strip searched these boys and then lied about it later, you absolutely need prayer.

Both these boys are very active in school, very smart and never in trouble. Also, loved by the community. My son, who is about to graduate from High School is very talented in singing and playing musical instruments. He couldn't believe that the security guard made him *** some of his clothes (seems a little peculiar to me).

This happened a long time ago and I'm over it. I actually love the new Rite Aid and shop there all the time and yes, so does my son. For the record, my son goes there as well and is not kicked out. I just felt a little compelled to respond and defend my very honorable and very grown up son.

Now it's the people who respond to these and put in their opinions when they don't know a thing and are very uninformed. James, I'm sure you learned from this and I as well will not waiver from my statement. He is the youngest of my four kids so I know teenagers are not perfect - not even mine. But I know my son very well.

Nikalseyn, you should really get a life instead of responding to things and people you know nothing about.

You can't compare my son to most teenagers - especially when you don't know him!!!!!! Try to find another hobby because you really need one.
