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.

Wow, three strikes, one after the other. If I have to use my phone in a store, I'll be looking up directions to a competitor. I'm not jumping through hoops to buy stuff.

I can't wait for someone with a flipper zero to just drive around unlocking cases in every CVS in town.

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

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

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

Definitely not installing that shit.

Yeah, another reason not to go there. Unfortunately no impact since I already don’t.

Nearby one is 24h so I occasionally go there when everything else is closed, but that’s the only advantage they have. But no way am I downloading their app just to get a bottle of aspirin at 1am
