    Long lines at one register because they don’t have enough employees in store to check people out? I walked out of CVS the other day because I couldn’t justify standing around for 15 minutes to buy a drink.

      Thank your local corporate consultant and CEO. They have had every incentive to cut staff and increase prices to get paid and have a bigger bonus.

      CVS is a shady company anyway. They sell homeopathic bullshit at the pharmacy. I remember seeing them selling bags of salt as a cure for asthma. Nope, I’m out.

        Most chain pharmacies sell this stuff because they can make a buck off it. At least CVS stopped selling nicotine products aside from cessation stuff, unlike Walgreens. I don’t know about other chains and how they compare.

      Somehow CVS always has broken self-checkout and needs the most store personnel to operate self checkout.

      And it just doesn’t work. Somehow it’s never smooth or reliable. That’s the one store where the cashier has the most advantage - I’d use the cashier every time if it weren’t for all the store staff trying to push customers to self-checkout.
