The Naperville store manager is so pleased over sales that he wants to reward us.  Starting today, when you get one of those surveys on your receipt, call and record your answers.  It’s only a couple of questions (honest, I do them all the time) and then it tells you if you’re an instant winner – sadly, I have never won. However, this time around one person will win a $25 CVS gift card just for returning with the survey receipt.  You write your name and phone number on the receipt (the part with the survey info only) and at the end of every month Emily will draw one lucky winner’s name for a $25 CVS gift card, good at any CVS location for booze, cigarettes…whatever.  There is no limit to the number of entries you can have.  Obviously they’re taking our word that we’ve completed the survey and just as obvious is that they won’t know what numbers we gave.  I should say here that the scale is 1-5 with 1 being “I wouldn’t bring my sick dog here!” to 5 “I want to bear that store manager’s child,” and that anything less than a 5 counts against them!  Yup, I couldn’t believe it, either, but that’s the corporate world for you.

So here’s the condensed book version:

1.  Buy stuff;
2. Call the 800 number whenever you get a survey on your receipt;
3. Give ’em all 5’s (it’s self-preservation, folks);
4. Write your name and phone number on the survey part of the receipt;
5. Dump them all in the box behind the front counter next time you go in.

Emily will be the only one handling this deal, so don’t ask questions of any one else. You can comment here ’cause Emily reads and comments here all the time.  Oh, and obviously this drawing is only going on at the Naperville store although the gift card is valid anywhere.  They’re a great way to pay for tax!
