    They probably just ask for your name and link it to the info they already have about you

    If you fill a prescription or use a credit card, that’s a very solid link to your identity. The app also probably is collecting all the data it can on you to resell, most of which can be used to fingerprint you through a data broker

    They might also require an ID, but all of it is probably more an intimation tactic and stunt for investors than anything else

    No way I’d install their app though

      My pixel has what’s called a “private” profile. It allows you to tie a different Google account to the apps downloaded to that profile.

      So I would install the CVS app on that profile, find public credentials for the app (or create one with and then publish them). Use the app to unlock the shelf. Leave it open or unshelf everything.

      Or just don’t shop there.
