I thought every Walgreens and CVS was going to have drive-thru testing??

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Walgreens has been placed under significant strain on both the retail and pharmacy front. The company has issued a statement that they would cover pay for up to 14 days for those afflicted by the virus and... —  read more 

Good job. Our Walgreens here are deciding to hire whoever applies, with no d–g testing or background checks. That should end well

When do store manager get paid when it surrounds a holiday?

So, how much longer will Walgreens be around with all their managers and employees leaving? I know a ton of stores near me that have no store manager anymore and most of the employees are quitting.
