CVS and their deliberate, hostile business practices chased me away years ago when I was unable to stop them from auto-refilling prescriptions I did not need. California finally took action against CVS in 2020 after many years of their carefully engineered abuses.

Good to see the company's crappy behavior continues unabated and there's no reason to give them another try.

Not just refilling prescriptions automatically, but automatically contacting your doctor to request more refills on your behalf once your normal refills refills ran out. I got a phone call from my doctor's office once, asking me why I was trying to go around them to get more of something that I was only supposed to be on for a short time. Freaking CVS made me look like I was drug seeking.
