Maybe there’d be less theft if there were more than one cashier working at a time.

Having more cashiers doesn’t stop theft because they know employees can’t do anything or else they get fired. They need a security guard but the cost for one is more than the theft so lock everything up, CVS logic.

I couldn’t use my Aetna health insurance I paid for as an employee bc I had to pay my $2000 deductible first. Well when you work full time for cvs as a supervisor in training you still don’t make enough money to have that cover your bills first.

[@RR-ss7dn]

Absolutely and it’s scary when everyone can watch you count the safe every single night. Then pull the drawers to go count them. Seriously? They don’t care about their employees!!!

Should one buy shares?

[@_ME42069]

If you always have issues at Self Checkout it’s mostly because the item isn’t in the bagging area on the weight scale or if you skip bagging three times. Those are anti theft mechanisms that the self checkout has. So, theft at self checkout isn’t as big issue. It happens but not as often. The pushback on Self Checkout is the entitlement of people wanting to get paid to use it or the “I want a real person because they’re taking away jobs,” they’re really not because I’ve been to a CVS without them and they still only had 1-2 cashier with a long line.

[@_ME42069]

They had 6 or 7 registers and only 2 cashiers. They’ll add more registers but they’ll never have staffing. It’s a save money situation with or without Self Checkout at CVS.

They need to stick with one thing and make sure that they can stick with one thing and make it perfect that's why they Big b drugs went out of business Big b drugs used to be owned by CVS drugs

And one or two oak Street in Alabama is not going to make a damn opening one or two of them oak Street doctors offices is not going to matter you better open a cluster of them in the rural area out in the country if you think you're going to make any money or do anything for the public or you just need to stop where you're at

Maybe you can explain to me after CVS's latest earrings, where they missed badly on all metrics and the stock crashed massively to a low not seen in a decade... The company came out and said they will not be repurchasing any more stock for 2024.? When the stock is at historic lows and buybacks make the most sense, they won't participate. Instead, they wait until the share price rebounds and is expensive and then enter a massive period of repurchases? Massive mis-step by management.

Smart move from you to go back to this interview to get a clue

[@jimmyking998]

So I want to know why CVS is expanding and buying all these different brands and if they got all this money why in the hell are they closing down CVS pharmacies all over the damn place and closing down pharmacies in Florida for no reason if they have all this money 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 I think they are expanding all this and they are eating steak on a bologna budget I think they're almost broke and they don't want nobody to know it they're eating steak on a bologna budget all the time and they are almost broke that's what it is......👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆 Because if it takes days and weeks and months to get medicine that used to take one or two days to get and it takes over a month to get insulin pens and it takes 3 months to get insulin pens now they can't keep up with nothing no more

[@jimmyking998]

And I can't keep up with cholesterol medicine 💊💊💊💉💉💉 insulin medicine and they can't keep up with seizure medicine and thyroid medicine and blood pressure medicine and it takes days to get the medicine
