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.

They want the data to sell to Meta and OpenAI to perfect their AI's

Your options are:

Walgreens

Some pharmacy on the other side of town that's failing because they're getting overcharged for drugs (if you're lucky)

Yes, this is the problem. Not much choice, and most of the corporate ones are moving to various shitty practices. Oddly enough, many of the big corporate chains are now closing locations en masse, such as Rite Aid

For this to work, you need to download and install the app, and sign up for CVS’ loyalty program. In the store, you need to be logged into the app and connected to the store’s Wi-Fi, and have Bluetooth turned on.

That's almost worth having a dedicated burner phone for.

My pixel has what's called a "private" profile. It allows you to tie a different Google account to the apps downloaded to that profile.

So I would install the CVS app on that profile, find public credentials for the app (or create one with and then publish them). Use the app to unlock the shelf. Leave it open or unshelf everything.

Or just don't shop there.

I don't mind doing it, if I have access to the pharmacy/prescription department.

Costco, and lots of online ones

I'm just not gonna shop at CVS

I honestly can't remember the last time I went to a CVS. Definitely before Covid hit. I can't even imagine going now.

Someone needs to tell Winnetka Bowling League to update their song and video.

That is...an interesting shopping list.

Do I dare ask: planning a big party?

Nice try CVS

And drink verification can

LOL

I can never not laugh at that kind of reply.
