Is CVS gonna be like RadioShack or what

I think this company is going down the tubes, man.

I only go there for emergency toiletries, everything else is on Amazon subscription. And when I do, they charge you up the wazoo!

Pharmacy? That stuff can be done online, man.

Laundry detergent locked up? Am I in the hood or what

I, for one, don’t mind leaving the house every so often to purchase items. And, and, I do not order ahead and have the items brought to me in my car.

There may be other items I want or need, but aren’t right on my mind, so I get those, too.

I go to some sort of store probably three days a week. Not including food shopping. That’s maybe six days a week. I frickin love food shopping.

I much prefer Happy Hour in person than on-line. We should meet up and discuss this.

They don’t make their money off of their store sales, they make their money off of healthcare. Their pharmacy, pmb, and Aetna.

I just wish that online pharmacies worked for stuff you’re supposed to start taking “now”…or that Amazon pharmacy would fill scheduled substances…or that refrigerated meds wouldn’t sometimes be lost or delayed in shipping.

Yeah when I went to RadioShack I saw the one guy like you who loved the place.

I on the other hand was just there to buy an emergency $5 ripoff battery

I knew the toothbrush isle had to be a front for something

Not if you just got an antibiotic that you should start sooner than later.

Or something to help relieve pain (like right after oral surgery or some medical emergency).

Yes, you are in the hood.

Laundry detergent is not locked up where I am.

I pick up stuff at the CVS after Mass, on the way back home. It’s convenient. Imagine that.

A lot of places locked up the Tide Pods, cuz of stupid parents letting their stupid kids access to stupid internet shit.

Sounds like we’re getting in the way of natural selection to me

You just use your drug app and then get it in 15 mins

And in the way of the eventual lawsuits filed against the store.

Says the guy with spare kids.

Hey, not my fault I’m winning

Yeah, it’s not just CVS, brick and mortar pharmacies are closing everywhere, and that’s bad news.

I discovered that my local hospital has a pharmacy. If i see a doctor there, i can swing by the pharmacy on the way out and get that drug now. It’s a good pharmacy, if a bit out of the way. They do mail-order, too. So I’ve moved some of my routine meds away from express scripts to the hospital. And weirdly, a lot of meds are cheaper without the “insurance”.

Yeah, ditto. There’s a whole aisle of it at the supermarket, including the colorful pods. And it’s not locked up.

This might as well be about Walgreens, which has made mistake after mistake for years and has a stock price that’s -89% from it’s all-time high in 2015 and no sign of stopping it’s decline.

The Consumer Value Store is one of the largest companies in the world (by revenue) and their market cap is around 70B compared to Walgreens 10B. CVS is focusing more on being a health service company with a pharmacy rather than a pharmacy with some health services.
