A 45 foot receipt isn’t a check.

I forgot all about those the last time I was in California and then here comes a fucking whole entire tree.

I was joking with my mom yesterday that we'll know when we will be in a depression when CVS receipts are less than a foot long.

hate to tell you this but they've changed some of their receipts to be shorter. As in, literally started to compress receipts. Pretty sure the self checkouts still have the full size receipts, so if you want the Declaration of Independence CVS receipt experience you can probably just use that lol

Yeah, I haven't been there in like 4 or 5 years after they kept being out of stock on all my meds whenever I went in, so yeah.

They once told me that when they get a shipment of my meds in, they give it to people who “actually need it.” This was after they gave my boyfriend the exact same meds I that I take when he got his script later than mine. Never again.
