CVS Health Corp (CVS) is moving most its candy away from the storefront, banning the sale of low protection sunscreens and eliminating foods that contain artificial trans-fat.
The new changes are part of the company’s efforts to stand apart from its rivals and emphasize the "Health" aspect of its name.

When they started this kick with the anti-smoking drive, I stopped going there. I'm not even a smoker.

I would too, but my company's medical insurance uses CVS exclusively for prescriptions. We cannot go anywhere else.

You are lucky. My co.retirement health care provider is hell bent on only us being able to get meds via mail.

What I miss were the old neighborhood Mom and Pop pharmacies where the owner knew everyone by name, what medications they were taking, and, if you presented a scrip for something that might clash with what you're already taking, would call your doctor. Didn't need a computer. When the scrip was filled, he would give you a little talk about when and how to take the medication and alert you to any possible side effects.
And the pharmacist had the drug you needed on hand. None of this "we ran out. Come back tomorrow" nonsense. Today's chains treat the patients like cattle. You're a faceless number to them.
This is an example of big box shiny stores puthing the little guys out of business because allegedy the big stores could do things faster, cheaper and better. But the chains are not an improvement over the family-run stores.
