COMPANY POLICY

for failing a state police sting, the very night that it happened. I
will not allow someone to jeopardize our liquor license for not doing
their job, just like CVS should not put their license to sell tobacco
in jeopardy to keep someone employed that will not uphold policy.


My thinking is simple. If you don't do the job you are hired for, you
do not deserve to continue to be employed. Sorry.

If I made a mistake depositing cash, and was fired as a result, I own
the responsibility of it. Plain and simple.

Don't sell drugs to minors,

Thats the governments policy, not CVS.


Your lucky they didn't turn you into the 4o

I know a guy who went to jail for providing cigs to underaged kids.

and getting your company sent to court at all can bring fourth a whole
lot of trouble.

CVS WASNT CALLED TO COURT. THEY WERENT FINED, ETC. THEY DIDNT EVEN GET
A SLAP ON THE WRIST.

It is called do as I say, Not do what I do. THAT IS COMPANY POLICY

How do you "miscalculate" a birthdate? If you can't subtract 18 years
from today's year and figure out that someone is of legal age to buy
smokes, then you shouldn't be a cashier at a place that sells smokes.

Stores in WI have signs at the entrance, at the checkouts, and on the
cigarette display stating that one must be born on or before "Today's
Date" in 1992 to purchase tobacco. 1989 to purchase liquor.

The signs take any guesswork out of the equation for cashiers. Do
stores in your state have such signs?

As backwards as it sounds, stealing tobacco is a lesser threat to a
company than selling to a minor. Both should be grounds for
termination, but by selling tobacco and or alcohol to a minor, the
business risks losing its license to sell either. I guess CVS feels
that this theft case was costing them less than potentially losing the
right to sell tobacco.
