Week 4: Jams at CVS by Mister M

My previous trip was at Dean & DeLuca the pinnacle of “haute cuisine” in Georgetown. This week I decided to keep it more impromptu and spontaneous and shopped at the CVS store on Pennsylvania Avenue at the center of the Foggy Bottom area.                                                       

The CVS Pharmacy is a subsidiary of the American retail and health care company CVS Health. Currently, CVS Pharmacy is the largest pharmacy chain in the United States with over 10,000 stores. CVS sells prescription drugs and a wide assortment of general merchandise, including over-the-counter medications, beauty products, cosmetics, seasonal merchandise, home health care products, food, and healthcare services in its medical mini-clinics. Products at CVS are usually more expensive compared to other supermarkets as the prices reflect and incorporate the expenses for the convenience of the CVS location and the 24-hour availability.

This was my first time searching for jams at this specific CVS store as I usually buy them at either Whole Foods or Trader Joes. I went to the CVS store on Penn Avenue for jam-hunting on Wednesday at around 5pm after finishing all my schoolwork. Honestly, I found it hard to find the jam section at CVS. Instinctively, I knew they would be located on the first floor, but it took me more time than I expected to find them. As I entered the store from 21st street I immediately turned to the right and after spending at least 10 minutes walking around the store, I finally found them. They were located on aisle 15 at the “Cereal, Coffee, Groceries” section.

Like at many other stores, jams are located together with peanut butter and honey. This time, however, jams occupy only half a shelf. Obviously, jams here are not organic or GMO free and are only made from grapes, strawberries, and oranges compared to the more exotic jams at Whole Foods and Dean & DeLuca.  

All the jams at CVS are in plain see-through big and bulky plastic or glass jars with very simple labels on them. Prices are also very average ranging from $3.39-$4.69 pre-tax. After I made my small research on the costs, tags, and labels I tried to walk around the store and pay attention to the people who would stop and buy any. To my surprise, not even one person stopped to buy any jams or jellies within almost thirty minutes.

So, this week’s conclusion from a jam connoisseur: CVS needs to promote the jams more effectively and better label them if it really wants to profit from them.

White House Apprentice: How the “You’re Fired” Tagline continued on Pennsylvania Ave.

From 2004 to 2007 when you heard the “For the Love of Money” theme song and the words “You’re fired!” there was only one show you could be watching, NBC’s hot reality series The Apprentice. Every Thursday night over 10 million viewers tuned in to watch as, a once so friendly face, Donald J Trump had various businessmen and women, eventually celebrities, competing to win the next business-related challenge.

Fast forward to 2016 and unless you have been living under a rock for the past year and half, American’s most merciless boss is now living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. To add insult to injury, the once seamlessly business savvy brutally honest but fair Donald J. Trump has now transformed into Politically divisive, crude, brassy racist. This is a side note I must address; for the masses who knew Trump was a narcissist bigoted celebrity back in 2004, I mean come on, didn’t you watch the Apprentice too?  

Anyways getting to the point of this exposé, the “you’re fired” tagline has continued in his current position as POTUS. Have you been able to keep track of who’s left the White House? Let us start at the beginning: 

Flynn, one of the first to fall because he lied to Vice President Mike Pence and other administration officials about a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador to the US.

Comey was fired early on, he was heading FBI’s investigation into whether the DJT campaign colluded with Russia to meddle in the 2016 election. Are you surprised?

Scott Pruitt was involved with various federal ethics investigations for his lavish spending habits, conflicts of interests with lobbyists, and allegedly tasking official government staff to carry out personal errands.

H.R. McMaster had disputes with his boss as well as other senior administration officials. 

The infamous Anthony Scaramucci was fired after he unleashed an expletive-filled tirade against members of the current administration, which leads two our next victims...

Reince Priebus, who “resigned” after a public feud with Scaramucci .

Who can forget Sean Spicer, he resigned after telling DJT he disagreed with the selection of Scaramucci as White House communications director. However, we all know Spicer was on thin ice; his tenure was filled with by controversy, lies and a very funny SNL skit.

Tom Price scandal involved using private planes for domestic travel and military jets costing taxpayers more than $1 million.

Omarosa supposedly left to "pursue other opportunities”, but then again she is use to getting fired by DJT. 

Hope Hicks resignation is still mostly unknown, it may be due the increasing controversy and attention, the 8-hour House Intelligence community or her reported distaste for D.C.

Rex Tillerson, was fired for a few reasons, he supposedly called DJT a moron, diverged from official White House statements and disagreed on many international policy approaches all of which undermined the POTUS.

 Who do you think is next?

Stay tuned for the next on the episode of Guess who has left the White House?
