CVS store receipts have become metaphors in entertainment scripts.
In Episode 5 of Netflix’s “Inventing Anna” comes the line—“I can give you a copy of the charges. I’m not gonna lie to you, it is the length of a CVS receipt.”
From NBC’s “Law & Order,” Season 21, Episode 3, Lieutenant Kate Dixon, speaking to two detectives, says, “His rap sheet looks like a receipt from CVS.”
Cyberspace is littered with photographs and selfies of lengthy CVS receipts.
For some, the receipts are a joke and a meme.
A tweet shows a receipt the length of a full-sized sofa.
Another shows a woman draped with a year’s-worth of CVS receipts which she is using as a Halloween costume.
In 2015, on his late-night show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the host displayed a CVS receipt to President Obama and asked, “Can you do something about this?” The YouTube clip has over 3.5 million views.
Some find the receipts controversial.
There’s a Facebook group titled “One Million Strong Against Unnecessarily Long CVS Receipts.” They need to add 999,937 members to reach their projected size.
With inflation at its highest level since 1982, perhaps we’ll see a shortening of the CVS receipts. Then they’ll likely be called The Biden Receipt.
