Q's CVS Lounge

6,510 5,400 October 6, 2015 at 03:21 PM in Cool (4) 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.

to me you are speaking in riddles but i guess it doesn't matter anyway b/c i don't cvs anymore for going on 4 yrs b/c i was always buying crap i didn't want or need, they messed up the sales tax so i was paying tax on the ecb amt which was significant on razors, and i was tired of cashing out my ecb's by making special trips just to buy tide for my neighbor to resell. i don't buy sunday papers and i'm allergic to tresemme, suave, probably clear and only buy axe gift sets if they are dirt cheap for my nephews for xmas. i had to sell off my stockpile of shampoo about 5 yrs ago b/c i was allergic to all of it and it made my hair fall out and the backs of my hands itched so much i couldn't sleep at night. if that's vaseline moisturizer i don't buy that either, not moisturizing enough. needs to be at least curel or keri level moisturizing.

ok, i found the ingredients for clear total care and i'm not allergic to it, but i don't have any q's for it, so i wouldn't be buying it anyway.

Igor, what are you doing?

Watching the television...

How long have you been watching?

4 hours...

Igor, I have to tell you something.

Yes, Master.

You have to turn it on... Facepalm

You aren't kidding. I've been here 6 or 7 weeks and I've got around 12,000 total hits. I used to get that in a weekend. Not that it matters. The only hit I care about is the one Ronda Rousey got last Saturday night. Now Mayweather wants to teach her how to box. That should be interesting. I still say that she'll end up with Freddie Roach as her boxing coach. Canelo over Cotto this Saturday. It should be a good one. I can't bet though. Canelo is 4/9 and Cotto is 28/11. I'd have to take Cotto but I just don't see him winning.

I'm surprised that SD isn't going crazy today. Not only is there a deal in the weekly thread that's at least as good (if not better) than last week's epic deal but there's more, too. I'm going back out to check out a couple more stores.
Fekkai kits?

i think some of it was you used to talk about deals more, some of it was you were more entertaining w/ igor and some other sd'ers and some of it is b/c it's in the lounge. here you are a whole different person. from what i understand, there are a lot of spiders roaming around sd looking for deals. probably less spiders in the lounge. so maybe take comfort that the 12,000 hits are mostly real live eyeballs compared to the replicators in the DG forum.

It's a tough situation. The lounge regulars don't want me here and some people in the drugstore thread... well, I'll leave it at that. It boils down to this. I'm not a social media person. I've never been on twitter and it's takes me 15 minutes to post something on fb and the last time I posted on fb is when wags still had good deals (so, decades ago). I talk to people on here like it's a regular conversation and I got offended in the drugstore thread by something which was very mild by social media standards but like I said I'm not a social media person. I lost my interest in doing stories when people couldn't see the difference between what I had my characters do and what I would do myself. Like I said, it wasn't a big deal at all by social media standards but it felt to me like a knife in the back. I guess it was just the wrong post at the wrong time...

That's the best deal but CVS was mobbed yesterday and people are all over it. If you can find a kit, chances are it won't have a q inside the box. People are using the q on 2 of the $20 items (clearance at $5.37) and leaving the kits. It totally sucks since it's actually theft since it's not a peelie, it's part of the kit.

i actually have 2 threads here in the lounge and lounge regulars have never said anything to me. one was in the DG forum and some idiot complained that he thought it was a deal thread when the title quite obviously said ***chat*** just like all the other b&m chat threads and it was summarily moved to the lounge and died. it was doing ok until then.

Quote :
this thread belongs in deal talk -- not here. Staples is not a drug store or grocery store. This isn't an all B&M forum -- it's a drugstore and grocery store B&M forum. Sorry, but with the thread icons gone, having more irrelevant threads in the forum just makes navigating the forum that much more annoying (and a pox on the fool who thought removing the thread icons was an "improvement").
there isn't really much interest in staples clearance amongst hot dealers, all they are interested in is ream, case paper and FAR software to cash out their rewards and for resale and the few regulars who are interested like to go OT and i was being bullied at the time so i needed a more relaxing forum so i created the staples lounge. which reminds me, i should post the black friday 1¢ ream paper deal there and i think some totes were cheap and a labeler, i forget which weeks.

i've never been on twitter either. i couldn't remember if i'd ever set up a twitter acct, so i searched my emails yesterday, looking to see if i had, and couldn't find anything. a friend had used a hashtag and i thought she wanted me to go to it to see something but ends up she was just trying to emphasize that she IS a social media person, the hashtag exists but it was to nothing. i searched both twitter and ig and couldn't find what she'd been talking about so i was confused.

you don't think so but you are a social media person. you are supposed to talk like you are chatting and having regular conversations and people get offended or have fights on social media all the time. actually slickdeals used to be way more entertaining. it used to be like the elementary school playground where we'd be telling people to hurry and go read the entertainment. there used to be a lot of Blowup and Popcorn posted. you rarely see these emoticons anymore. over the yrs slickdeals has become way more straight-laced and boring. i used to say i was here 50% for the deals and 50% for the entertainment. but these days there is a paucity of entertainment, you had been the majority of it for awhile.

I hit two stores this am and found 10 in one and 4 in the other. All of the boxes I opened had the coupons (which I used on the spot). Haven't opened the other boxes - will check another store tomorrow am.

CVS's in my area are rarely, basically never, mobbed.

The vast majority of people here have been nice to me. One guy, however, would blast me no matter what I say. I have no idea what his issue is since I don't even know him. I just get the feeling that I'm in the wrong place. My interest in SD is in the drugstore deals but I like to get off topic. I'm not really lounge material. I agree with the criticism myself.

CVS was exceptionally busy yesterday. Not just one store but every store I went to. I'd say it was the busiest day I've seen so far this year. One store (which is usually busy) had a non-stop stream of customers walking through the door. They had 4 registers open and there still was a long line. The CVS's that are by a Haagen are now much busier since Haagen closed. Fresh & Easy closing also has an impact.

STFU EEK!

Things like that are fun. Not much here anymore....Frown
