At peak customer times every store seems to have 10 people stocking shelves filling the aisles with bins with only one person working the register creating a line of customers twenty people deep. CVS recently announced they will no longer sell tobacco as a move to become more of a health store. As the article points out they still sell a lot of very unhealthy products in their store. My cynical guess is that they found that they weren’t making a lot of money cigarettes and they didn’t work well enough as a loss leader. This move has more to do with getting a marketing bump while eliminating a marginally profitable product than it has anything to do with creating healthier customers.
