Why do environmentalists tell us about separating trash and stuff. When the world’s corporations are doing literally horrible things compared to us. Just imagine how many stores around the world print such huge checks EVERYDAY.

what a waste of paper

I thought they were trying to cut back on this a few years ago, I remember an employee telling me “we’re not as bad as reddit makes us out to be” and thought it was hilarious I think a few times I wasn’t handed one. Now though, they are getting huge again it seems.

Too bad I tried to use it in Europe…. Not very successful there. _Pardon, je ne comprends pas_

You can always just request no/emailed receipt. Or not use your extracare card if you don’t want all the coupons that are connected to your account.

Hmmm.. JIf peanut butter. The peanut butter that defines how you pronounce GIF. Because that is what the makers of GIF named it after.

Well to be fair, he bought a bunch of other crap from there previously.

These days you can opt out of the receipt or get it electronically, thank god. CVS offers some really nice discounts if you get on their app – I got a three-pack of toothpaste for like a dollar a few weeks ago because I stacked a couple of discounts and coupons. They send 30% or 40% off codes to me constantly.

You can use the old (insert any area code) 867-5309 phone number for nearly any store loyalty number.
But be warned, at CVS it will print out a longer receipt than that.

coupons: if you spend another $100 then you can save $10 🤭

Their prices are so high so they can keep buying thermal paper rolls.

That’s crazy. I didn’t know CVS print receipts that short!

I remember when Kmart used to give receipts like this.

So let’s see how much paper CVS uses….
1. Number of Transactions: CVS has around 10,000 stores in the US, and if each store handles, say, 500 transactions per day, that’s 5 million receipts per day.
2. Receipt Length: Assuming the average CVS receipt is about 3 feet long (for simplicity), that’s about 15 million feet of paper per day.
3. Converting to Miles: 15 million feet is roughly 2,840 miles of paper per day.
4. Annual Paper Usage: Multiplying by 365 days in a year, CVS could be using more than 1 million miles of paper annually in just receipts.
That’s enough to wrap around the Earth about 40 times! Quite a lot of paper for something that most people probably throw away.

Cvs sucks. It’s one of those stores that was better back in the day. Their pharmacy is especially awful with a three shift system and employees being moved around like chess pieces. The other day I picked up a medication and got texted two hours later it was ready for pickup. 🤷🏼♂️

Wow, it is crazy how desperate CVS has become for customers to make more purchases at their stores! Not sure if this is an early sign that the company is running out of business soon, who knows!!

And that paper is waxed and non recyclable, yay.

If you think CVS receipts are too long, no what you’re really going to hate?

1. How tall is your friend? The reason I ask is because my brother bought a chapstick and same thing happened. He is 6 foot 2 and the receipt was 7 foot!
