And do you have an ExtraCare Card? This is a trick question. This is the question that, if answered “yes,” forces you and the CVS cashier to awkwardly stare at each other while the receipt machine pumps out enough receipts to circle the Earth at least twice.
Coupons, upon coupons, upon ExtraBucks spill from the machine — none of which you’ll ever use. The receipts pile up in your car until you cannot physically see out of your passenger-side window. It’s a truth so painfully universal that the internet has made CVS receipts into a meme, and we’re not sure whether to laugh, cry, or demand justice for all the trees that have been wasted to countless coupons that read “$1 off CVS brand aspirin.”
According to internet sleuths, one can reportedly sign up for CVS email receipts rather than wait around for your next tumbleweed of CVS coupons. Even so, escaping the CVS receipt train is a hard thing to do. Whether it’s stuffed into your shopping bag or clogging up your inbox, we will never escape it — that is, unless we start going to Rite Aid.
These 19 CVS receipt memes perfectly portray our angst. Perhaps we will be free from the receipt one day. But for now, let the memes live on.
