You may already use your phone to pay for groceries, but have you ever needed it just to put them in your basket? You may, with this CVS app unlock trial.
Some stores have started requiring the app to get your prescription. Happened to me. They actually made me install the app before they would fill my Rx. I stopped using that store and went to another neighborhood.
Sometimes they don’t hear about the problems with pharmacies or other places they refer people to. Letting them know means that they can send people elsewhere
I pick up a client’s meds as part of my job. It’s through Safeway, and I can’t get text notifications anymore when they are ready for pickup, I have to use the app, and I have to have push notifications turned on, so more than half of the notifications are some BS ad for safeway, trying to tempt me into buying bread or some shit. The guy takes over twenty medications, so it’s kind of a nightmare.
We use our grocery store. Seems to work well. My store doesn’t even have an app, just a website, and the loyalty card isn’t needed for discounts, only for points I’ll never use so I don’t bother with it.
Yes, this is the problem. Not much choice, and most of the corporate ones are moving to various shitty practices. Oddly enough, many of the big corporate chains are now closing locations en masse, such as Rite Aid
Fuck the very idea of buying anything at CVS other than a prescription. Their prices are predatory high.
And I wouldn’t install their fucking app on Bea Arthur’s phone.

Hard no to that. As if they are denying people medicine because they want to harvest your information.
Should be illegal. But corpos own this country so here we are.
Depending on how primary care works where you are
tell your doctor too

This is dystopian level privacy nightmare.
I just got a prescription yesterday and that didn’t happen so hopefully they don’t roll it out everywhere. I would find a different pharmacy.

That’s almost worth having a dedicated burner phone for.
Sounds like it’s time for a new pharmacy.
Your options are:
Walgreens
Some pharmacy on the other side of town that’s failing because they’re getting overcharged for drugs (if you’re lucky)
Costco, and lots of online ones

Succinct, I would like you to consider becoming CVS’s next CTO.
