CVS Employee Cig Breaks Up 40%

Brian Dae was attacked, harassed and passed on by a group of CVS employees unhappy with the direction Corporate was taking their company. Below is the story as told by Mr. Dae to report Kiki Strawberry on June the 1st.

"Hi, do you not carry cigarettes here?"

Behind the register: QUIT NOW. NO SMOKING. WE'LL HELP. NO CIGARETTES.

"We don't, why? Are you trying to quit?"
"No I'm trying to smoke."
"We can help you quit."
"Can you point me to the nearest cigarette distributor on this street?"

*whispers from under counter* "help me!"
"What?"
An impatient old lady with nowhere to ever be again chimed in, "Excuse me, sir, the 7/11 on Ridge will sell you cigarettes."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Brian gave the employee a nod and made his way to the car. But when he opened the vehicle door he was startled by that same under the counter noise.

"Psst. Pssssst. Hey, you."

Frazzled, Mr. Dae kicked at the man and rolled onto his car hood.

"Oh, fuck. Shouldn't have jumped out at you."

A wild CVS employee!

At this point Mr. Dae "Didn't know a) how he got out here this quickly and b) why he was under my car whispering to me. I was really actually afraid."

The employee would go on to offer sexual favors in exchange for a few cigarettes.

Mr. Dae made it clear - "Man you've got a fucking problem!"
"Come on I'll suck your dick!"
"How about you start selling cigarettes again or go get some yourself."
"I can't, the boss, he won't let us be seen with 'em. I need this job I love this job."

Then, as Mr. Dae describes it, "A pack of wild CVS employees pushed open the lid of a trash bin from the inside. A house on fire wouldn't have produced as much smoke as those few employees had in that trashcan. They had gone through FOURTY-THREE packs of Marlboro Blacks. 2 were unconscious and the third was probably already dead at that time. When this happened, the employee under my car stood up, skipped a few steps over, cartwheeled into the bin and kicked the lid shut. The employee that had made it out crawled to my feet and begged I take him to the hospital. When I told him I just wanted a pack of cigarettes he shook my hand, told me he respected that, and crawled back over into the trashcan. It was the weirdest fucking day of my life."

CVS has no plans on returning cigarettes to the counters.
