Someone tell CVS. I don't think I've gotten a receipt from them shorter than a foot in length.

For non-Americans, this is not an exaggeration... https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/10/10/17956950/why-are-cv...
That article is interesting. It says:

> If you, a non-loyal shopper, mosey into CVS and buy some Tylenol and a package of seasonal candy, you will get a receipt that is unspectacular (read: a normal length).

However, that's never been my experience. If I buy a pack of gum in a CVS, I'll get an insanely long (although not five-feet long) receipt for it even though I certainly am not a member of any CVS affinity program or anything.

That's one of the reasons why I tend to avoid CVS.
