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
