Extra Care, My Ass.

Dear CVS:

Congratulations upon your acquisition of my local Longs' Drugs and your loss of my custom.

I really, REALLY do not need yet another piece of plastic loading down my wallet so you can have my personal and demographic information on record to sell me stuff. I really, REALLY do not need yet another item to slow down the check-out process on an errand that should take mere moments. I really, REALLY do not need to discover after I've politely thanked the cashier, declined your Extra Care card and paid for my purchases that they were subject to the regular price and not the sale prices posted on them in the store aisles.

In future I will shop at Walgreens. Not that you care, as I suspect this message will be ignored completely by the corporate powers that be.

Sincerely, etc.

Oh, preach it.

Do you have our price saver card?
No.
Would you like to sign up for....?
NO! Not today, not last Tuesday when you asked, and not last WEEK when you asked.

May I have your zip code please?
No. You don't need it.

And *I* feel like the jerk for saying no.

In future, give them this zip code--"91108" It's Mt. Wilson Observatory in southern California. That's what I do.

If it weren't for the fact that our CVS has been very good about keeping my chemo side-effects meds in stock, or getting them overnight and the fact that the closest Walgreens has horrible parking, I'd switch. The whole membership card thing is a little creepy; I don't need the cashier thanking me by name, just give me a good price on my merchandise and have enough damn registers open.

Oh, CVS sucks. Totally sucks. They put sale signs on stuff and then charge you the regular price at the register unless you have a card. Their stores are always cluttered and hot and dark. Run away. Sorry for your loss.
