I can confirm there is currently something happening behind the scenes at CVS. I wasn't even buying with FB, just my 0BC and the friendly cashier told me they have a memo it'll be cash for now although it is only temporary. I asked the manager and she apologized to me for the inconvinience but she said CVS was hit hard by *"certain groups" that they have to cut their losses by accepting cash only for now. She said, hopefully when you come back, we'll accept CCs again.
*I didn't pry on those "certain groups" she was referring to but I have an idea. I'm not sure if there's a memo that some managers may NOT have read/paid attention to but all stores may know by today.
For those whose FBs are still accepted, good luck and hopefully, CVS won't stiff you of your CBs. After all, it'll "only be $4.95 per VGC" loss that you can charge to cost of doing business.
For the rest of us, game over.
