Now I kind of wonder how much paper and ink CVS wastes.

That there is thermal paper heavily coated in teratogenic bisphenols and thermally reactive dyes. No ink, the printer uses heat to create images.

Your comment reminds me of an Animaniacs song ...

No ink, since it's thermal paper. But probably more paper than you or I could comprehend

Wonder the value of the thermal paper-based marketing investment CVS is making, indeed

And how it compares to the financial and environmental cost of alternative marketing campaigns 🤔

(I’m guessing it’s pretty wasteful, though I’m sure they could figure out ways that are even worse)
