Good afternoon! looking work without social security TEMPORARILY

CVS saved my a$%
I know this is about jobs, but I just have to thank CVS for having that minute clinic. I have been working outside a lot lately in my parent's yard and I didn't feel well the other day. My doctor was away on vacation so my brother told me to go right to the clinic at CVS. They diagnosed me and sent me home with medication right away. It turns out I have Lyme disease. Crazy right? No rash or anything!

Avoid those super long receipts
So I used to be a cashier at CVS and people always commented or complained about the absurd length of the receipts. The thing is they are full of coupons and rewards so it’s definitely worth checking out if you shop there often. If you don’t want to deal with the physical copy have us send it to your email (and save the environment too!)

What did ‘CVS’ originally stand for?
Remember - no Googling!
A. "Customer Value Shop" B. "Consumer Value Store" C. "Convenient Variety Stuff" D. "Clearance Volume Store"

This dad needed my help
I was working a shift the other day at CVS (I’m retired but do it to get out of the house) and a man walked into the store. He went to the feminine hygiene products and looked so confused! He was on his phone googling things looking at every product. I walked up and asked if he needed help with anything and he explained to me that he was a single father with a teenage daughter who sent him to get her tampons! He had no idea there were so many options and what to get her. I had him text her asking what she preferred and got it for him .. AND a bag of chocolate!!! I’m glad I was there to help because he would not have known what to do.

Yup
I remember it was around this time when I worked at CVS and Mother's Day was coming up. I helped this little girl, she couldn't have been more than 10 help pick out a card for her mom. Her mom was in the store and she told her she had to wait up front and she came up and said she needed help. She took my hand and walked me over to the cards. I was in the middle of stocking but my boss saw me and gave me the ok. We went through probably like 15 cards or so until we found the one she liked. She gave me a hug and went and paid for her card with the change she had saved. CUTEST THING ever!!!!

I worked all the holiday shifts
I remember working almost all the holidays as a cashier for CVS. Sometimes you got them off, but I felt bad cuz I don't have kids or a big family so I usually would volunteer to work so others could have it off. One Christmas Eve we all wore santa hats and my boss made us a HUGE thing of hot chocolate in the back and actually baked us a ton of cookies. It was def nice to be appreciated.

I saved her memories.
When I was a teenager, I worked at CVS in the photo lab. This was before smartphones and digital cameras. If you had a roll of film that you took, you brought it over to a lab to get it developed. I know crazy right? Seems so foreign now. Well, a woman had come in to drop off some photos, but in the process of taking out her film earlier that day at home, it was over exposed. She told me this while crying.
It was her daughter's graduation and although it might not seem like a huge deal for some those were her memories. I spent hours after my shift was over trying to undo the damage. I didn't save them all but I did get a few great shots of her with her parents and a couple by herself. I called to the woman to tell her and she came in the very next day. She was so relieved and happy to have some tangible memories of the day. Now YEARS later, no longer in high school, and a mother myself, I know I would want someone to do everything they could to save those memories for me.

What it was like for me
I worked at CVS while I was going to school to get my CNA degree. I worked in the pharmacy and rang customers out. My management was great and the staff friendly. CVS has good pay that is somewhat competitive I think. They are also one of the few companies that always seem to hire FT and give out benefits, which is a major plus. I recommend them to other students I meet so they can help pay their way through school like I did.
