CVS has partnered up with Google on their Nearby program so now when you’re near a CVS, they KNOW and it will happily let you know that you can send your photos there. So if you’ve avoided signing up for an ExtraCare card and dodged downloading their app, you still can’t avoid the CVS machine. The most interesting part of this article from Internet Retailer is that CVS “declined to comment.” Do they not want us to know?
