Genuine question, do I need to show an ID to make a CVS account? Use a real name? How could they reliably link the digital account to a person?

There's no timestamp for when things go missing, though.

This is dystopian level privacy nightmare.

I guess if they discover shrink, they'll have a log of when it was accessed, and could cross reference camera footage, then track down the account and blacklist it or prosecute... no loss prevention is going to do all this lol.

Hard no to that. As if they are denying people medicine because they want to harvest your information.

Just take the shelf apart. I'm sure it's just some shitty plastic flap with a crappy lock. Cheapest crap they can get.

Depending on how primary care works where you are

tell your doctor too

Sometimes they don't hear about the problems with pharmacies or other places they refer people to. Letting them know means that they can send people elsewhere

I just got a prescription yesterday and that didn't happen so hopefully they don't roll it out everywhere. I would find a different pharmacy.

Should be illegal. But corpos own this country so here we are.

I can’t wait until store shelves are set up like those janky pressure sensitive hotel minibars

They probably just ask for your name and link it to the info they already have about you

If you fill a prescription or use a credit card, that's a very solid link to your identity. The app also probably is collecting all the data it can on you to resell, most of which can be used to fingerprint you through a data broker

They might also require an ID, but all of it is probably more an intimation tactic and stunt for investors than anything else

No way I'd install their app though

Buh bye CVS, I wish I could say it was fun. It's amazing how quickly a corp can become a corpse.

If the Walmart/target cases are anything to go by, it's a basic universal tubular lock. You can by a decoder/pick for like $10

My first choice of action would be to walk out the door. My second choice of action would be to walk out the door.

If they could, I bet they'd try to implement a discount system for time spent stocking shelves

I am sure CVS will not assume the worst when I buy three 12 packs of Magnum XL, two bottles of NyQuil, six cans of Monster Energy and a roll of duct tape.

Succinct, I would like you to consider becoming CVS's next CTO.

Yeah but they're a little tricky to use, you can't just bump them.

Also I would not recommend doing it at all in the first place.

I pick up a client's meds as part of my job. It's through Safeway, and I can't get text notifications anymore when they are ready for pickup, I have to use the app, and I have to have push notifications turned on, so more than half of the notifications are some BS ad for safeway, trying to tempt me into buying bread or some shit. The guy takes over twenty medications, so it's kind of a nightmare.

Sounds like it's time for a new pharmacy.
