My first thought is "no way in hell will I install this", and I'm glad I don't shop regularly at CVS, anyway. But then I realized that it might amuse me...

If I can get this app running sandboxed under GrapheneOS, I will 100% accidentally leave random stuff outside the case each time I use it.

I like how you think!

Was this the long game the whole time when they started talking about how much money they were losing from shoplifting?

You know what’s more convenient than being able to unlock cabinets without an employee by using an app? Not having the items locked up in the first place.
