For this to work, you need to download and install the app and sign up for CVS’ loyalty program. In the store, you need to be logged into the app and connected to the store’s Wi-Fi, and have Bluetooth turned on.

Haha. I'll never go there again. Too bad there's so many dumbasses who will just be fine with this.

I can't wait for someone with a flipper zero to just drive around unlocking cases in every CVS in town.

Wow, three strikes, one after the other. If I have to use my phone in a store, I'll be looking up directions to a competitor. I'm not jumping through hoops to buy stuff.

Definitely not installing that shit.

Yeah, another reason not to go there. Unfortunately no impact since I already don’t.

Nearby one is 24h so I occasionally go there when everything else is closed, but that’s the only advantage they have. But no way am I downloading their app just to get a bottle of aspirin at 1am
