I know this has been discussed before, but I'm done with CVS. I'm first in line with two people behind me. Everyone looking around for a gosh darn employee. When the cashier who's in charge of facing cosmetics, and loading the bottled water to aisle three pops up, she yells that we need to ring the bell. No, your company needs to realize it's not 1956. Frankly, I feel like a self-important douche ringing a bell to "ring" my items. It's like starting a thread whenever something pops in your head. I'd also like to address the employee in question. When I have to tell you to "have a nice day" you probably suck at your job.

That last line in your diatribe rings true with me. I get pissed when I have to say it first. I have to be nice? How about if I'm a customer who rips you a new asshole? will that get your attention?

Oh yeah,stick to Walgreens! It just looks cleaner.

But they have vans that help people who are too stupid to change their own tires.

Walgreens cost code was BRUSHCLEAN. So, that only stands to reason.

Osco's cost code was CHARELSTON.

How about people too dumb to have a mini-air compressor. 99% of my flats were able to get filled with air until I drove into a tire store to have them patch it.

Yuup.
I got a first aid kit, a 120v compressor, inverter, 25 ft extension cord, 20 feet of 5000lb chain, 2 5000 lb shackles, 2 5000 lb carabiners, 4 rubber bungees, 8 fiber bungees, a multitool, flashlight, tire gauge, and an 8 in one screwdriver in my truck at all times.
Oh and a 100 bucks. Hidden just in case.

Fix-a-Flat is smaller and does the job. But it smells funny. #FCVS

Sounds more like a serial killer tool kit to me.

I've needed everything there at one time or another. Pulled some poor bastatd out of a.ditch last winter with the chains, use the compressor several times a.year, the bungees all the time, multitool all the time, only thing I've not busted into is the first aid kit yet. They have them for like 12 bucks at menards. Good shit to keep in the truck.

No. Water doesn't do well in the truck in winter really. But I do have a case of MREs. Maybe I shpuld put a couple in the truck.

I'm sure the cops will buy that. Tell it to them when they pull their penny out to measure your tread. They'll let you go for sure.

A couple Gatorades - or any sports-type drink - will do a tad better because of the salinity (and not, like Reason, senility).

I'm of like mind with your exhaustive list .... just not like pocketbook. :lol: :(

No worries.

Its becoming 0 dollars an hour with the self checkout outbreak



I think CVS trains their employees to piss people off.


Ive never seen one that was run well. The employees are always where you dont need them
