| #8 Rite Aid! Ach, die Rite Aid... goes without saying that I'll always hate them for killing off K&B, but I'd come to tolerate me SoCal local. Staff was efficient, friendly, and genuinely diverse: crusty middle-aged ladies from far corners of the county... and the world, plus a manager straight outta Dickens. Then covid, and now it's wall-to-wall superficially diverse (right down to apparent trans, mysterious foreign tats, prison tells...) grads of Kashier Konformity Kollege. High turnover, crap managers, amusingly hapless attempts at predatory stocking and pricing... and still no sucralose (don't cry for me -- I quit). And now, with nearby CVS gone, it'll thrive while killing itself off. Yay. |

| #6 Just like food deserts in urban areas, a lot is going to disappear. Those who can will go to the suburbs. Then it will dawn on many, why not just move. Those who can't, well keep on voting for the people driving decivilization. Rome was the first city to reach a million. It didn't take long for it to depopulate to a tenth of that when 'security' became an issue. |

| #5 Corporate de-urbanization, making life in feral regions of former great cities even harder. |

| #4 I've been using CVS for more than 20 years. Never had any problems but then I do live near a small town. The Pharmacist and the other workers know me by name. |

| #3 Have had problems with them even before they purchased AETNA my Health insurance provider.They screwed AETNA up also. They seem to train pharmacists only to have them dump and run after a year. Plus I have recenty noticed many of my med's have shorter expiration dates than before. |

| #2 I get some vitamins and toothpaste at CVS but all my actual prescriptions are filled at Sam's Club. I always laugh at how often they have the yellow "Buy one Get One Free" tag on the shelf below an item that is only stocked one package deep... |

| #1 ...Hmmm. We had a CVS a few hundred yards from us that closed very suddenly about a year ago, but within the last week has been refurbed (at least on the outside) with a new parking lot and traffic markings. Mike |
