Makes sense as there's a location one block away in the Target.

That cvs had the most random shit locked away like body wash. I went to get Advil and the girl made me follow her there and step away from the case. Good riddance.

It's like that in almost every CVS in the city now. My local one at 43rd and Locust is the same, but the employees there are great and somewhat embarrassed about the entire situation. I had to ask for generic prilosec that was locked up.

Is that the cvs that’s inside the new building?

Were they also trying to organize?

Just weird that people go out of their way to shit on Philly at every chance. Someone posted a pic of locked up stuff at a Philly Target on some other sub (also to shit on Philly) and people were commenting from like dozens of cities saying it was the same there.

Cvs sucks in philly. Everything you need is locked up and they are understaffed so no one is around to help you.

Philadelphia consistently ranks above the national average in terms of crime, especially violent offenses. Sorry that you’re in denial. If you’re from Philly, your pride is blinding you to the facts. Look it up.

You clearly don’t know the stats if you’re willing to argue that it’s “weird” that a subreddit of a city is simply AWARE that their city is dangerous. I didn’t say it was the most dangerous but it tops multiple charts. But I won’t argue your opinion with you any longer, God bless.

Same. And at CVS if you push the button to get an employee to unlock the case it announces to the whole store that you need assistance in deodorants or whatever. I know it’s not embarrassing to buy deodorant everyone does it but the whole store doesn’t have to know my business.

Rite Aid at 23rd and Walnut was gotten rid of as well, which sucks, cause that one was 24 hours and I could walk to it from my apartment.

I use CVS carepass. It  costs $48 a year. BUT you get a $10 promo code every month, which more than makes up for that. You can order online and as long as you buy one CVS item such as a CVS or Gold Emblem product, delivery is free. My last order was for $32.75, but with the $10 promo code and other discounts on my carepass card, I ended up spending $10.48. I just add things to my shopping cart and order once a month. Delivery comes from stores around the country, sometimes more than one and usually arrives in 3-5 days by UPS.

Just put everything behind glass, like a snack machine, and then make people pay before the items are given to them.

I already got a ton of snacks 50% off from there. I go there about three times a week. The variety is shrinking though. I don’t think they’re marking anything down but the food though. Most of it will be returned to the warehouse and shipped to other locations.

Stores closing or cutting hours really takes away a major amenity of city living. It’s what happens when our city leadership makes crime legal I guess.

It negatively impacts sales quite a bit. You have to lose quite a bit of product for it to be worth it. Now you have a store that has less sales, higher operating costs and potential staffing issues. A lot of times it's just easier to close up and move elsewhere.

CVS sucks anywhere, but so do all the chain pharmacies these days. Better off getting Rx's filled at an independent or mail-order and picking up health and beauty stuff at the supermarket (and will likely be a lot cheaper).
