Come on CVS, who needs a 4 1/2 foot receipt?

So my wife buys one item at a CVS pharmacy for $4.17 cash and gets this receipt back. It’s 4 1/2 feet long!!! It turns out I’m not the only one disgusted by the practice. My sister says she saw a meme comparing a CVS receipt to Megan Markle’s wedding veil! A friend said she asked CVS if they owned a tree farm! Come on CVS, this does not make me want buy anything from you. Do the right thing. Save a forest.
