I am sure CVS will not assume the worst when I buy three 12 packs of Magnum XL, two bottles of NyQuil, six cans of Monster Energy and a roll of duct tape.
That is...an interesting shopping list.
Do I dare ask: planning a big party?

Or, now hear me out, I stop shopping there.
What kind of inefficent shitscape is your business that adding a new app functionality is easier, cheaper and faster than hiring more, better paid people?
Hold on, maybe this is a method of appeasing the stock holders to improve trust in them, backing out might cause people to back away
Wait, this could also be a temporary measure as they hire more people, although the damage has already been done and will show itself next quarter
This sounds to me like satire. If you hire people, you need to go through HR process and then you are rewuired to pay them monthly.
System is one and done. It may be pricey up front, but as they already have infrastructure in place, long-term costs will be laughable compared to additional employee per every shop.
In what world keeping employee doing useless work is worth it?
I wonder whether it ever occurs to normies that surrendering PII in order to transact amounts to hidden cost inflation
Would it make a difference if they did? Here in the UK every supermarket has a loyalty card scheme. I held out for a long time but eventually I simply couldn't afford to pay the effective 20% premium for not using it
Depends on what value you place on your consumption data. I'd argue the scheme participants are the ones paying a premium.
They want the data to sell to Meta and OpenAI to perfect their AI's
Lol no.
CVS doesn't want a customer who has any diginity
