Been coming here for years, never had a problem until today. There is a sign outside that says 15% off for healthcare workers. As I am about to pay, I ask if I can use the discount and show my workplace ID. The woman at the register states that they are no longer running this promotion. I informed the lady of the sign outside the store clearly showing the promotion. I am a CVS pharmacist and came with my name badge. There are no IDs to work in a pharmacy. I showed her my work app with my name along with my PHARMACIST LICENSE and she still denied me the discount. I asked her if the establishment does not consider pharmacists to be healthcare workers to which she replied, “I’m not sure I just work here and am following the rules.” Really disappointing especially when October is Pharmacy month. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. - Tanya Chhabra
