Shop Blue: CVS vs. Eckerd

Where I live in the South, the two main pharmacy alternatives are CVS and Eckerd. My beautiful wife T. looked up the campaign contribution profiles of these pharmacies. It turns out that Eckerd is an overwhelmingly red pharmacy, with 75% of its PAC contributions going to Republicans. On the other hand, CVS is a moderately blue pharmacy, with 51% of its PAC contributions going to Democrats.

Cancel my Eckerd account, sweetheart! From now on, I go with the apparently meaningless acronym!

I’m also writing a letter to Eckerd Corporation explaining why they’ve lost my business:

8333 BRYAN DAIRY ROAD
LARGO, FL 34647

Bad! Bad Red Eckerd! No amoxycillin from you!

    I heard at one time that the Catholic church has a financial interest in Walgreens. True or not?

    J. Matthew: No need to cancel that Eckerd account. CVS has apparently bought out a majority of the Eckerd stores. In my neck of the swamp, 3 have already been converted to CVS’s. I don’t like CVS– not because of their political bent– but the stores seem ‘messy’ to me.

    Eckerd was too expensive anyway. I only shopped there when I had a coupon.

    Not shopping at a drug store because of that is ridiculous. It has nothing to do with the company, it’s about the people. And as far as Eckerd being “too expensive.” They are all the same, darling.. One thing is on sale one week at CVS, the next at Eckerd.. a drug store is a drug store and they are all pricier than say Walmart. So if you’re looking for cheap, go to walmart and stop complainng.

    Oh, yes, it’s just ridiculous to care that George W. Bush is in the White House and the Republicans have ruined America because of Eckerd’s help.

    Thanks for your neutral opinion, E.E.

    Fruka you are an assclown. Thankfully on this site you don’t even stand out, or your dad wouldn’t be too proud of you!!!

    Congratulations, Phil. According to Google, you are the only person to use the word “libshits” AND “assclown.” Keep up the good work, and maybe someday you can add a third word to the mix without dropping the first two.
