Because of CVS
Not all the CVS’ suck around this town. Just one in particular. The one on Mass ave. I’m sure there are many on Mass Ave, but if you’ve ever been into this one you know which one I’m talking about.
Why does it suck? Because it takes a half an hour to buy a birthday card. It takes forty five minutes to buy cigarettes. If you need more than one item, you better clear your schedule for the afternoon.
Why does it take so long? The answer is two fold.
The first reason is that the place is crawling with students from nearby colleges. Apparently college kids don’t use cash as tender when bartering for goods and services. I don’t know if they are using credit cards or some type of point system, but it’s never a smooth transaction.
There is usually a credit problem, and managers are involved, and people are called on the phone. Eventually some type of agreement is reached. But the transaction doesn’t stop there because the student wanted $7 dollars cash back. - Ah, the cash back option. Technology simplifies things right? Well, our CVS employee has already closed the drawer. Managers are called back to the scene, prayers are said, keys around necks are used catastrophe is averted, but not without a little chaos…
All this so some skinny goth chick under five feet could buy a jumbo pack of magnum condoms.
The second problem is the employees there. They are all octogenarian African American Females. What a fucking combo!
You think they care how long you wait to buy a bag of Cheetos, white-boy?
I’ve seen two of these adorable ladies working the counter when the line was out the door, and one declared it was her lunch break, and just left.
Priceless.
You’ll wait as long as it takes. Island time? You should be so lucky. You’re on old black lady time my friend.
They’ll take their time and give you an attitude to boot. Judging you. They may even resemble your grandma in some way, do not be fooled. These women are only here for two things: to make you wait and total world dominance.
Boston Sucks!
