Any predictions on the resulting drop in demand for thermal receipt paper? - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 08:34 4
- Ha! I've gotten e-mail receipts from them for years so it's weird when I see a receipt print and I'm like "uuuuhhhh......." -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 08:48 2
  - emailed receipts slow down the internet -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 08:48 1
    - Yup. All those electrons clog the tubes. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 08:50
- Finally we can stop logging old growth in BC -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 08:36
We never had CVSes in the area until a few years ago and then all of a sudden there were like a dozen around town. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 18, 08:22
I am curious how they will decide where to close stores. Like, where they are too close to each other? Because people still need Rx. - ty97 Nov 18, 07:55 9
- I have Walgreens, Rite Aid, and CVS in the neighborhood but the Kaiser clinic is closer than any of them so I pay them little attention. -- nm - Meg Nov 18, 08:19
- There are 7 location within two miles of my house. I imagine a couple of those would go. There are 2 Walgreens. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 07:57 4
  - Within 5 miles of my house, 5 CVS (2 in Targets) and 3 Walgreens. -- nm - zunk xometimes Nov 18, 08:11
  - yeah, I have 5 CVS to 2 Walgreens within a 15 mile radius of me -- nm - decline Nov 18, 07:59 2
    - I guess the fact the Walgreens bought Duane Reade in NYC skews my perceptions. - ty97 Nov 18, 08:02 1
      - CVS bought Hook's here decades ago so that might skew mine a little, but none of the current locations were around back then. -- (edited) - Ye Nov 18, 08:06
- CVS ~ 10,000 locations. Walgreens ~ 9,200 locations -- nm - decline Nov 18, 07:57
- To the IM, I AM wrong! - ty97 Nov 18, 07:57 1
  - I wonder if they count Target in-store locations? -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 07:58
Local grocery chain recently switched the pharmacy to CVS so there are two across the street from each other. - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 18, 07:54
I was in the CVS by my parents recently and 2-3 rows of merchandise had been replaced by a LARGE minute clinic section - ty97 Nov 18, 07:52 1
- Given how crappy the service is at our family physician, for routine things, doesn't surprise me -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 08:01
At least there is high demand for all that spare retail space they'll leave behind...... -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 07:51
Opened up like 7-11 now closing like Sears -- nm - budice Nov 18, 07:51
