CVS PHARMACY......Don't know about you, - Page 2

I have not seen the commercial but I refuse to patronize this store after they pulled a major magazine because they did not think area residents should have access to them.

I think, if it's the one I've seen today, the man had throat cancer from cigarettes and has a hole in his neck, explains it AND then they go into the CVS philosophy.

They eliminated tobacco products a month earlier than announced, changed the name. They're a little late to the game and had to catch up.

They seem to make the news every couple of years for "pharmacy prescription mistakes".

CVS here is a dirty unorganized pit that I wouldn't trust to fill a script. They can do whatever they want because I haven't been in one in years!

My mom speaks like him. Cancer. Nobody who knows and loves Mom is "stigmatized", or "freaked out". People can be mean.

I always disagree with and don't patronize businesses that "preach" to me their own beliefs on how I should eat, read or any other lifestyle choice

If it's a commercial with someone with the hole in their throat and maybe speaking out of one of those synthesizer voice box things, maybe it's a commercial to try to stigmatize you to not smoke.

I haven't seen the commercial ShowMe is speaking of. But I've seen commercials where a woman looked much older than the age she said she was. She pulled a wig off her head to show a balding head. She had a synthesizer sounding voice box. It looked like she had suffered a stroke as one side of her face was sagging.

And she was pleading with you to not smoke. So she was trying to pass along to others to not go through what she was going through. She was no longer pretty. She wanted you to know that. And I do remember reading that she has since died.

I have no problem with a business that decides that tobacco products will no longer be sold. It's tobacco.

gamer......sorry you took my comment on this commercial the wrong way. I too have lost one of my parents to lung cancer......my dad lived for 10 years with only 1 lung, and lost the battle in the other lung.

If you really read my words......maybe you need to go up to post #9 and read what I said there.

Really, I am not a mean person......far from it.

Lucky.....no, it is none of the commercials mentioned in this thread.

And just to set the record straight, I haven't said a word about what CVS sells or doesn't sell...... It was just a commercial that got to me......
