CVS Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular asked the pharmacist: ‘Why does it take longer than usual for deliveries here?’ The pharmacist shrugged and replied, ‘It’s not us—it’s just that CVS seems to be hiring only the slowest delivery drivers in the city.’ A few days later, an irate neighbor stormed in complaining, ‘My medicine took forever!’ The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘That must be because he was driving so slowly, trying not to miss his own shadow.’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to CVS and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Closed for Emergency Stocktaking.’ Curious, he parked his truck and walked inside—only to discover shelves stocked with everything but medicine. As he looked around, he saw only candy, snacks, and toys—everything except pills and band-aids. Smiling sheepishly, he left, thinking, ‘Guess they were taking an emergency candy count!’

3. Early in the morning, when most pharmacies were closed, a delivery driver pulled up to CVS and noticed an unusual glow coming from behind the pharmacy's closed doors. Curious, he knocked gently on the door but got no response. Peering inside through the crack, he saw rows of smiling bottles dancing to some unheard music. Turning around, he found himself facing a sleepy-looking cat with a nametag that read ‘Pharmacy Manager.’ The cat yawned and said, 'Morning, I was just opening early for my regulars.'

4. In the early hours of the morning, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up outside CVS Pharmacy. As he stepped out, his dog began barking furiously at something invisible to him. The driver looked around but saw nothing unusual—until he glanced down at the counter, where a small child was pointing excitedly at the shelves. Upon closer inspection, the driver realized that the child was actually pointing at a brightly colored package of chewing gum. With a smile, he picked some up and handed it to the kid, who immediately stopped barking and started happily chomping away. Turns out, the dog just thought the gum was another toy.
