FIRST: Below are pics of my CVS receipt from my last (rare) visit. I bought THREE items. My receipt was over THREE FEET LONG. One foot of paper PER ITEM (for the mathematically disinclined ;) It's a wasteful and annoying practice I wish they'd end. Time to catch up to this century's technology with receipts and coupons.
*SIDE NOTE: If you need a good laugh... go Google "CVS Receipt Costume." Go do it. NOW. 😂
This CVS is like all of 'em: every day items are WAY overpriced. You can get most of the same products for cheaper at Walgreens, Dollar Tree, or .99 Cents Only store, and buy higher end hair and beauty products online, at Sally Beauty, even Ross or TJ Maxx at a lot lower price.
It's also dirty and disorganized. LOTS of junk crammed into every square inch of the checkout area— little room for the customer. The cashier area is super confusing— do we form ONE line? Separate lines at each cashier? What are we doing here? It varies. There are no signs posted. It adds to the checkout wait times.
For pharmacy customers: If you have any major surgeries in your future, or if you're a chronic pain patient with cancer, MS, RA, or another debilitating disease, CVS now limits ALL pain medications to a 7 DAY supply. However well-intentioned this policy may be, it only serves to make life exponentially more difficult for legit patients who are recovering from surgeries, disabled, injured, and/or chronic pain patients. And it does nothing to reduce opioid OD deaths. (CDC's own data.) But if CVS wants to alienate their long-time, "legit" customers and contribute to a problematic stigma... that's their choice. Just know what you're in for. ~NorseForse
