This is a strategic moveā¦..gotta make room for legal marijuana! (keeping my fingers cross and my Doritos well stocked)<br /><br />But yeah, in regards to anonymous above quoting the floater's comment about tech hrs. Mine just got slashed too, even though volume is up. Personnel cuts haven't been this bad since CVS had to pay the huge pseudoephedrine fine. <br />Drug Monkey: I totally agree with all your well deserved knocks against CVS, but remember, every one of it''s foibles is taken out on us, the workers. <br />Are you hiring?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10776815.post-86453122416104317652014-02-12T14:59:07.960-08:002014-02-12T14:59:07.960-08:00I think I just puked in my mouth.

All for discontinuing the sale of a low profitability, high theft, and non sales generating item. They may lose 2 billion in "sales" but not 2 billion in " profit". Let me know when they stop selling liquor and potato chips. And when they start treating their employees like human beings, I will be the first to applaud.bcmigalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10776815.post-1925448686982258392014-02-06T23:56:40.307-08:002014-02-06T23:56:40.307-08:00Amazon apparently gets the credit and/or blame for...Amazon apparently gets the credit and/or blame for this: http://www.wired.com/business/2014/02/amazons-new-app-cvs-nixing-cigarettes/FailedMetricnoreply@blogger.com
