CVS pharmacy CVS CVS pharmacy violates privacy rights woonsocket, Rhode Island

So go ahead and forward anonymous comments on the internet to the president of a multi-million dollar corporation. I'm sure he will just wipe his butt with them.

I guess you never got over the horror of showing your ID to purchase a money order?

Did they violate your constitutional rights at the liquor store later too?

It is not MONEYGRAM that requires this.  I talked with them.  It is your company and your company only!  I purchase moneygram money orders all the time at other stores.  Never have to show an ID.  wonder why you had the need to lie?  I will pass your comment on to your PRESIDENT.  i have your PRESIDENT'S personal number.  Also will email your comment to moneygram. 

Did my report hurt your company so much you had a need to lie!

The phrase, "You're making a mountain out of a molehill" comes to mind BIG TIME.

Think about all the other times in your life that you have to show your I.D..... You go into a bank to get money out of your bank account, and they ask to see your I.D. You apply for a job, and they ask to see your I.D. You pick up medications at the pharmacy, they ask to see your I.D. You go to the DMV to get your driver's license, they ask for I.D. You go to your doctor's office, they ask for I.D. Get the point yet? Why aren't you complaining about those situations? Why aren't you screaming about your "rights" at those places?

Why the Hell are you making such a big deal about this? They probably just want to see I.D to prevent fraud. If anything, the policy is for your protection as well as the store's. My guess is, is that you've done something wrong somewhere along the line and you're trying to keep a low profile.

How's my aim?

The cashier was misinformed. It is not CVS Pharmacy that is asking for ID, but MoneyGram, the company they use for wire transfers and money orders. As of November 2010, MoneyGram is working voluntarily with the IRS to crack down on money laundering. An individual is only allowed $2000 in money orders per person, per day; the ID keeps track of this.

CVS's point-of-sale systems will not allow money orders to go through without a valid DL or state ID; even an expired license won't work. For the record, MoneyGram is just a testing ground; if this system performs well, requiring ID will become the new industry standard.

Really? Since when is being asked for an ID to make a purchase like this a violation of your constitutional rights. I didn't realize we had the right to do monetary transactions without showing our ID. The next time I want to use my bank for a service, I'll make sure and tell them they cannot see my ID because its violating my privacy rights.

Guess what? if you don't like their policy, don't shop there. Its perfectly legal for them to ask for an ID on a product that has a high rate of fraud on it. I don't supposed you can quote the law that makes this practice illegal. Let us know how much the FTC laughs at you when you file a report. You didn't have to show them your ID or finish the purchase. if it upset you so much when they asked for your ID, you should have just walked away and went elsewhere.

Me? Who cares. My drivers license is some made up number the government uses for my driving privaleges, if CVS pharmacy wants it then more power to them. Who cares.
