I used to use a chain one and then I switched to a local one and I pay half as much as I used to.

FYI, goodrx was selling your prescription info and PII to marketers.

Here's a perspective you might not have thought of.
Younger person is already shamed for even buying condoms (the cashier will see them after all) so they steal the condoms instead of buying them. Store owners are sick of losing money so they naturally lock them up.
So yes, it does have something to do with crime.I'm not here to argue about what you think store owners care about your sex life, I'm just pointing out that there is a valid reason you haven't considered.

Yeah...this is absurd beyond belief.
The problem is the average consumer out there will not see how this is an issue. -

I went into Walmart yesterday for my annual soap/shampoo/mouthwash bulk purchase as they have the products I like at the best price (in bulk). I got to the section and it was all locked up behind glass...
I turned around and walked right out. No idea where I'm gonna get it from now, but I'm not gonna support that bullshit.
The claims of mass losses due to shoplifting have been proven false multiple times over. These are just racist store policies intended to make you spend more time in their store or to buy online or from mobile apps.
Enshitification keeps on keeping on.

I haven't given them any of my info.
Do you think walgreens and CVS don't sell your data? Lol.

I suppose ignorance is bliss, as they say.

This might be too complicated for the average consumer at CVS, which tends to skew towards an older demographic.

Let’s go one step further and make them a gig worker so CVS doesn’t have to pay them for downtime and instead we get to tip

I buy those items from my large grocery store. They have sales too so the goods are fairly priced.

Kenny's the man. Also, he doesn't like to be tagged just a cocaine dealer, or even just a drug dealer. Kenny's got range.

Not if you buy them from me. High quality, low prices!

Pharmacy technician here. When we bill a prescription, the processing information (either from your insurance card, or from GoodRX) is entered into the computer, then the claim (including the drug being billed, day supply, and patient information) are sent to the benefits manager (PBM), and returned to give us a determined copay to charge you. It's during this transaction, that by using GoodRX, your information has been volunteered to GoodRX as part of the billing process.
We do not determine copays - PBMs and your plan formulary do. You showing us a dollar sign on GoodRX does not guarantee you that price.
As an aside, my particular pharmacy does not accept GoodRX due to knowledge of these practices. It may also be interesting to know that GoodRX charges pharmacies a "finder's fee" for offering a discounted price e.g. you pay the pharmacy $25 for a $22 drug, and the pharmacy pays GoodRX $5. If you can still find independent pharmacies, support them! They will work with you.

Do you deliver, or should I just meet you out behind the club next to the green trash bin like usual?

The usual spot. The same amount of Viagra and Ducolax as last time?
