CVS strikes again
I wanted to share this proud moment with y'all. Today I stopped at CVS -- for those unfamiliar, CVS is a US drugstore chain notorious for its absurdly long receipts -- and scored a personal best. 34.5 inches (87.6 cm)!!!
Holy crap! I remember those but I never measure one. That is absurd. Here, most places only print receipts if you say you want one -- so they don’t waste paper!
They ask here too. I was using a self-checkout, which also gives you a choice of paper, email, or none. I wanted to remember how much I paid for the item - yes, this was a receipt for only ONE item - and pressed paper.
I gave up on coupons years ago. I'd forget to take them shopping, and if I did remember, I'd forget I had them. Coupons are just adverse to my psyche, I guess.

ReplyDeleteMost of our shops also ask if you want a receipt and I say No.
ReplyDeleteI shudder to think of what I might say after being given a 3 foot long receipt.
Holy crapoli -- that's crazy!

ReplyDeleteThat yard stick must be 40 years old.
ReplyDeleteDo you use any of those coupons printed on there?
