- morelisp 3y agoAlso note that to a first approximation zero Americans will be able to tell you what "CVS" stands for; I'm not even sure it stands for anything anymore.
- alphabettsy 3y agoFirst time I’ve heard that and that’s probably true for everyone I know as well.
- kube-system 3y agoIt is simply known as "CVS". The name "Consumer Value Stores" is a relic from the very early days of the company that hasn't been used in a very very long time. It's a deprecated name, like "American Telephone and Telegraph Company".
- rokkitmensch 3y ago"healthcare company" is comically generous.
