CVS Is Turning Locked Shelves Into an Excuse to Make You Download Its App
-
We all just learned from Walgreens’ latest report that placing barriers between consumers and the goods they’re trying to purchase reduces sales, and CVS’ response to this problem is to add a login requirement.

I go there in person BECAUSE I don’t want to log in to your stupid website.
-
Uh, yeah?

They've turned blocking thieves into an income stream. Consumers will have to let CVS collect their personal data to be allowed to purchase baby formula.

Walgreens CEO, "We lost business due to our locked shelves."
CVS: "Hold my beer."
-
Turns out they also block customers.

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.

Haha. I'll never go there again. Too bad there's so many dumbasses who will just be fine with this.

What I'm always stunned by, who is fucking stupid enough to shop there?! I go to the pharmacy, get my shit, leave. Even when I had a fat income, I still wouldn't pay those prices.
Locally, the Winn Dixie is shutting down because the new Publix out competed them. For those not in the know, both are very nice groceries, with Publix a little nicer and way costlier. FFS, we have an Aldi (along with 5 other cheaper groceries) and it's never as busy as the expensive stores.
Hit a couple of big box stores waiting on my wife. Never go in those places anymore, especially since inflation went nuts the last couple of years. People pay for that crap?! At Pets Mart a chunk of driftwood is between $20 and $50! Y'all, we're in Florida and paying for driftwood and sand. The mind boggles.
tl:dr; American consumers are idiots and I'm not going to hear the whining about high retail prices.

They also tried to make refrigerators into billboards, blocking visibility of anything inside. They were all broken within a matter of months, then replaced again with glass doors sometime later. These people are morons.
