| - Messing up a CVS experience is a bit of a challenge since organizationally they have store managers, area managers, regional managers, and managerial managers to ensure that the CVS experience is the same the world over. Visually this store is laid out like any other, but was different in its own way too.
For one, i have never known a CVS to sell liquor. A pharmacy in the Northeast would never dream of such a thing, but CVS is apparently a popular spot for bros to grab their oversized bottles of vodka in Tempe.
That would be totally fine if it were not July 4th weekend, and late at night. The bros were out in force, tight clothes, and swagger all around. I just wanted a toothbrush, and some lotion, but i had to queue up behind a quickly growing like of would be partiers at the only open register.
One thing i found strange is that the clerk would routinely interrupt whatever she was saying to throw whomever came through the door with "welcome to CVS". I assume that her store manager, area manager, regional manager, or manager manager required it, because she would just throw it at them like a grenade. Maybe they heard it, maybe not. Who cares? It was weird though, because she never interrupted her transactions to summon backup to open another register. Nope, we were just chilling the night away while people in various states of sobriety fumbled through purchases.
It was a perfect storm of strange circumstances, but it was strange nonetheless.
