CVS
I changed the name of the thread because I think that Q's CVS Lounge gives a better representation of what the thread is about. This isn't a deals thread although I will sometimes be posting deals. I'll probably talk more about Transylvania and the stock market than I will about the drugstores but the main thing is that is that I want this to be a cool place to hang out.

The new machines do everything from the front and the scanner is very sensitive. You have to line up the X exactly right or your card (or the item you're checking a price on) won't scan. The coupons also print much quicker.
It boils down to the managers not checking the machine at the start of the shift and allowing it to run out of paper. You can build the best machine in the world but if you have employees who flat out don't care you're going to end up with pissed off customers. The only thing a CVS employee cares about is rejecting your store coupon if it's a penny short and comes up red. That they're on top of. My goal for this week is to cash out of my ecb's and be done with CVS. There are still some cashiers that I like but I can't say there's one store I can go to where I'm sure that I'll have a good experience. In contrast, almost every Rite Aid is friendly and will take care of a problem right away.
20 years later i was in silicon valley at my cousin's apt and there was another 4.0 earthquake......
if you are looking at stocks i would look at nike if you are looking to buy and hold. it's a more well-rounded company than under armour whose merchandise is rather pricey and therefore doesn't do as well during economic downturns because it's more bridgewear rather than true high-end like a tiffany's. however nike is a more mature company and probably doesn't have as much potential for growth. right now it has really hot kicks for the tweens, teens and millenials. it's also internationally known which helps when the market goes south.

Walgreens agreed to pay $9 a share in cash for Rite Aid, offering a 48% premium to Rite Aid's closing price Monday.
In September, Rite Aid cut its earnings outlook [wsj.com]in part because of costs associated with the EnvisionRx deal. That had contributed to a nearly 20% reduction in Rite Aid's share price this year before news of the Walgreens talks leaked. That decline might help explain the above-average share-price premium Walgreens is paying.

Despite these gains, the company's revenue of $1.02 billion declined from last year.
The chain's weakness is something that no executive can control: the Canadian dollar. Almost one year after the chain closed the transaction that made Restaurant Brands International a Canadian company, currency headwinds are negatively impacting the currency.
LOL! thought they were going to outsmart the market and US corporate taxes.
Here's a question for you. In order for Wags to make a deal like this they must think that we aren't going into a bear market (since the deal won't close until the last half of 2016). Am I correct in thinking this?
If I worked for RA, I'd be thinking about a new job. If the deal happens, a bunch of stores will close and a bunch of employees will lose their jobs. Wags makes their profit by cutting costs. Managers will probably have to re-apply for their jobs just like they made the Wags managers do.
