Posted on by

measured my super long receipt after a visit to CVS

they are so known for them 

that people have come up with jokes and uses for them

 i bought 2 items and mine was the size of a typical 2 -year old

*average toddler heights generally range from 32 to 39 inches (81 to 99 cm) between the ages of 1 and 3

By 2 years, the typical toddler is about 34 inches (86 cm) tall.

CVS receipts are the punchline to endless jokes and viral internet memes about their absurd, over-the-top lengths.

 here are some of the memorable quotes, tweets, and jokes about those legendary CVS receipts:

    • “I bought a stick of deodorant, they give you a coupon for another stick of deodorant. I just bought deodorant, I don’t need more deodorant. I’m trying to get to my car.” — Jimmy Kimmel
    • “Whenever they hand me the receipt, I always look the cashier in the eyes and say… trees died.” — Facebook User
    • “CVS takes the title for Magna Carta of receipts.” — TODAY Show
    • “Psh art of war? More like War and Peace.” — Reddit User
    • “If you are domesticated in the very least, then you know that your CVS receipt isn’t just a piece of paper, but an extra stick of deodorant upon your next visit. Plus 14 rolls of paper towels and a free bag of gummy bears.- Neil
    • “I’ve literally always called their receipts ‘the scroll’.” — Tiffany 

CVS blames their “love of savings” for the insanely long receipts, which have reached new heights, according to customers who are sharing images of the monster-sized strips of paper on social media sites.

  5. Cashiers at my store ask if you want your receipt. I don’t shop there often and usually only for one thing, but I always say yes if I’m buying something else in the hopes of a $4.00 off a single item coupon! Loved the memes!

  16. We don’t have CVS here and it’s interesting to see these memes and jokes. But also a bit puzzling to think why they don’t do something to fix it. Would save a lot of trees! And switch to digital incentives instead.

  20. The CVS receipts will take us all the way out…they killed forests printing them then those stinkers trail behind us as we try to leave. I’m not gonna lie, now that they load coupons into the app I just look at cashiers like “are you kidding me here??” when they’re pulling reams off the register.

  29. Hilarious. The other problem I have with CVS is they are trying to go with way more self checkout machines than regular checkers. That would be fine if the damn machines worked. When they don’t, the lone checker finally meanders over, only to have it happen again after they leave.
