Drabble by Kevin Fagan for November 17, 2018

Must be CVS receipts. You buy one item and you get a yard of “coupons”.

Why? What did you do to them, Norm?

I think Circuit City (R.I.P.) still holds the record for l-o-n-g register receipts. (In duplicate, too)

They must shop at CVS!

I guess Norm is smarter than I thought.

That’s just one purchase. It could be anyone.

Save the planet. Ban prescription drugs.

CVS is getting infamous for their receipts.

I like to look at the bottoms of receipts and say, “Oh, good! I was hoping Pierre and Natasha would get together! They’ve both had such hard lives …” [cf the person looking at the top and saying, “Call me Ishmael …”

some body buy a pack of gum at cvs?

Not just CVS, but almost every grocery chain in our area does that.

CVS cashiers don’t like it when you say you don’t need the receipts. They practically insist, telling you that you’ll be missing out on all the great discounts.

As I just replied on another comment: You can now have CVS email you the receipt instead. So much more environmentally friendly and also you can still take advantage of the deals by adding the coupons to your CVS card by clicking the coupon in the email. Everything is done digitally now. 99% of the coupons I use at CVS are on my card and not something that I printed out.

Or someone who shopped at CVS and got their 4 feet of coupons…
