CA: Drugstore's old job applications found in dumpster

Posted on September 24, 2008 by Dissent

Old job applications of hundreds of people who sought employment at a former Rite-Aid drugstore were found tossed into an open dumpster Wednesday behind the now-shuttered store, revealing sensitive information of applicants that included Social Security numbers, phone numbers and addresses.

[..]

Some of the applications date back to 1996 and 1997, when it was a Thrifty’s drugstore.

A Rite-Aid spokeswoman said the records were somehow left behind when employees prepared the store on Imperial Highway and Valley View Avenue for closure a few months ago.
