I'll either still ask an employee or just shop elsewhere. Fuck giving a company that much access to my phone for any reason.
Yeah no..I'll either use the in store paging system to call someone to the shelf, or just break your stupid plastic lock.
No way in hell will I get a program on my phone/devices that I don't actually need outside of a one-time thing. I'm not some cheap slut.
I am some cheap slut and I’m sure as fuck not installing an app for in-store purchases.
Why would you shop there in the first place? Want to pay $4 for a $1 bottle of shampoo?
Look, a digital automat
So what? Who buys anything but pharmaceuticals at CVS? You have to be a moron to shop there.
Better than waiting for help
Or they could like, you know, quit locking shit they want me to buy....
treating your customer as a criminal rarely ends well for the merchant imho
