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.
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.
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.
That's almost worth having a dedicated burner phone for.
