What it Really Means CVS Edition

DCDan — Wed, 05 Feb 2014 16:13:09 +0000

I’m not a big fan of CVS. 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.

Chose your beer wisely.

The more you steal the less your punishment.

I’ll take my smoke break with a side of salt.

This is the bill collector on what has to be one of the last cigarette machines in DC.

This week’s maxim comes from Slug off of Atmosphere’s “Feel Good Hit of the Summer Part 2″

I ain't gonna tell you that you better not do it But master your high, try not to abuse it Stay away from me if your life's getting stupid and please stop pretending that it makes better music

While drinking and smoking may be an enjoyable activity don’t fool yourself into thinking it fosters creativity and for Jebus’ sake keep your shit under control.
