    Walgreens has them installed in 700 stores because a previous ceo signed a deal with a company that provided them.

    The CEO of the company providing them? Was also a previous, different CEO of Walgreens. Sure looks like a buddy did another buddies startup a favor, likely for a kickback.

    The current Walgreens CEO canceled them, and is being sued for it.

    Its walgreens CEOs all the way down.

      sounds about right, no one actually thinks this is a good idea, at least not after seeing one of them installed.

      it’s just money laundering or whatever the technically correct term is
