The store is trialing a feature to let customers unlock cabinets with their phone.

    Why do people buy anything besides drugs at a CVS?

      The strategy for these drug stores was to make themselves the closest option in a lot of neighborhoods. It didn’t work, but they thought it would.

        They do. It’s the secret aisle, behind the store. Ask for Kenny.

          Kenny’s the man. Also, he doesn’t like to be tagged just a cocaine dealer, or even just a drug dealer. Kenny’s got range.

      When I worked at night it was the only place open 24 hours. Now the one by me doesn’t even have that going for it.
