goodbye cvs

14. Yea, threats always work

So an employee has to submit to a physical, bloodwork, testing, etc., or else face a $50 fine every month and so what if an employee is found to be over their "ideal body weight"? Is CVS going to put them on a diet and spy on them to make sure they follow it?

Sounds to me like a huge over reach on the employers part and for what, a lousy minimum wage job? Part of the reason alot of folks don't eat well is because eating healthy can be very expensive, fresh fruits, veggies, low fat. low sodium foods come at a price.

I was a Social Worker for many years and it is quite the challenge for low income families to eat a healthy, balanced diet when there food budget is very small. I know it can be done, but it takes alot of creativity and for many families, especially single moms working and trying to keep a roof over her families head, may not always make the healthiest food choices, instead just trying to keep within their food budget, shopping at food discount stores.

I'll never shop at another CVS again, for sure.
