Also CVS is a big corporate pharmacy chain where people buy their toothpaste, etc. I doubt this is how CVS does their marketing

However the joke is spot on, since that image is not far removed from the general mess at a typical CVS. You walk in for your meds and are bombarded with a special deal on soda, makeup, want a beach toy? how about some junk food? oh wait here's some more cheap cosmetics to go with your passport photo… By the time you get to the OTC drug section that has the tiny selection of the same meds in 5 different brandings/packagings, you're already overwhelmed. The whole store is a UX fail.

As a side note, I'm fit and not diabetic but making people who struggle with glucose control walk past all these snacks is just evil—or ar the very least highly insensitive. Profit first, damn the sick! :(
