DISPENSARY CORNER 30 May 16
May 30, 2016
FORGET immigration, the war on
terror and economic plans - the
length of pharmacy receipts could
become a key US election issue.
After years of complaints to
American pharmacy giant CVS,
their legendary longer-than-your-arm
ribbon receipts following
a simple purchase will soon be
replaced by digital receipts if the
customer prefers.
Seven years of social media
raving against the company’s
receipt practice, which supported
a range of marketing gimmicks
such as vouchers, won out last
week when CVS president Helena
Foulkes showed up on popular
talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!
where the host has been running
a tongue-in-cheek campaign for
Vice President of the USA on a
“shorter receipt” platform.
In front of some 2.4 million
viewers, Foulkes
announced the new policy which
will be implemented next month
across CVS’ 7,500-plus stores.
THAT Royal Jelly is potent stuff.
Some 20,000 bees, thought
to be swarming for their queen
who they may have believed was
trapped inside, tagged a car in
Wales for 24 hours.
Professional apiarists were
twice called upon to remove the
presumed jilted lovers, with no
sign of their evasive target of love
and affection.
