These types of companies have terrible corporate culture.

Good riddance.

Family health, family doctor, family foodstore, family drugstore.

Or, details will be missed.

The alternative to Walgreens is the ever tightening CVS monopoly.

Boring variety, tight duopoly. Go to one and you can hit the other with a rock

CVS owns an entire health insurance company, a pharmacy benefits management company, and a chain of urgent care offices, among other things. They’re not a warm, fuzzy monopoly.

I don't think I called either of them warm or fuzzy, they're so joined... the distinction has little meaning to me

CVS was covered under "these types of companies".

Anyone that hires the kid who acts like they hate existing while in highschool as a business model, really.
