Sensitive Man Products need not be locked behind glass doors

<em>Sensitive Man Products need not be locked behind glass doors<br />
</em></p>
<p>To the Employees of Several Washington-Area CVS Stores:</p>
<p>I understand that your CEO, <strong>Thomas Ryan</strong>, has stated that the CVS name stands for &#8220;<a href="http://privatelabelmag.com/pdf/jan_2006/Ryan-Preaches-PL-to-CVS-Team.cfm">Convenience, Value, and Service.</a>&#8221; This letter takes issue with the third.</p>
<p>It has recently come to my attention, upon purchasing Sensitive Lady Products at several Washington-area CVS stores, that the employees tasked with accepting my payment for these products have not received proper training in How to Not Act Like A Jerk to the Ladies Who Purchase Sensitive Lady Products.</p>
<p>I understand it may be difficult to know how to handle the sale of a Sensitive Lady Product. Perhaps you&#8217;re afraid of offending a lady who may be sensitive about purchasing a Sensitive Lady Product; perhaps you have personal religious or political beliefs that require you to be sort of a jerk about doing your job. But you guys are Sensitive Lady Product sales professionals, and you should know how to properly conduct yourselves. Here are some tips.</p>
<p><strong>How to Not Act Like A Jerk to Ladies Purchasing Sensitive Lady Products:</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-3779"></span></p>
<p>1. When your supervisor asks you to open the locked glass case that holds the Sensitive Lady Product I require, do not make small-talk speculating as to why I require it.</p>
<p>2. Don&#8217;t suggest which one I should get, either. You&#8217;re a dude.</p>
<p>3. On second thought, just don&#8217;t lock up your Sensitive Lady Products.</p>
<p>4. Instead, try to consider why you might have needed to lock them up in the first place. Hmm, maybe it&#8217;s because you&#8217;re total jerks to the people who buy them?</p>
<p>5. When it comes time for me to exchange money for the Sensitive Lady Product, look me in the eye.</p>
<p>6. Respond when I say &#8220;thank you.&#8221;</p>
<p>7. If you really cannot acknowledge that I am a human, at least ask if I have a CVS card! I can use some savings on these Sensitive Lady Products!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>A purchaser of Sensitive Lady Products.</p>
