Does CVS Hope Its Annoyingly-Long Receipts Will Get People to Throw Away Their ExtraCare Discounts?
Ever get one of these?
Or how about 20 of those?
We’ve all been there.
You go into CVS and purchase a $1 bottle of water or $2 chapstick, and then wait for what seems like an eternity for a receipt that can literally be two, three or five feet tall, or longer.
You then most likely go and throw that receipt away because who wants to hold on to that monster. And the next time you go to CVS, the process repeats.
All the while, you never end up taking advantage of the CVS ExtraCare discounts because you are too busy throwing away all of those receipts, which carry all the discounts.
Is CVS trying to collect all of the data about your purchase habits and then hoping that the receipts are so annoying, you will eventually throw them away and never use them?
