Re: I don't hire stupid people, so . . . .
SOME might say that anyone who works for you might not be so smart considering that you do not provide them with health insurance.
after reading your post, I asked him if he lied to get the vaccine. He said no, he called in to get an appointment, said *** he did not have insurance *** [and you said that he didn't lie] so he would be paying cash for the vaccine.

So the American taxpayer further subsidizes your business by paying for the healthcare of your employees? In a previous post,
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/politics-and-religion-39/if-i-laid-20-people-off-i-would-----389522 you implied that laying off 20 employees would save you ~$1 M over 10 months. $1 M / 20 employees / 10 months / 12 months / year is around $60,000 per employee per year. I don't know about CA, but in a real business, that might be $40,000 salary and $20,000 taxes, fees, and benefits; maybe even 36/24? WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES' HEALTH INSURANCE? What else are WE paying for that YOU should be paying for?
They made the appointment without asking him his age or profession and told him to come on in. He paid $185.00 in cash and walked out with the vaccination. They also scheduled him for the second one.
As far as I have read, NO ONE has to pay for the Covid vaccine. The Feds pay for ALL Covid vaccinations. I don't think that CVS collects ANY money for Covid vaccinations. I assume that your guy would have to provide proper ID (license?) and such in order to get entered into the CVS system AND the Fed system so they can track him and make sure he gets only ONE 1st shot and ONE 2nd shot. If he has ever had a Rx filled at CVS, even paying out of pocket, he is in the CVS system. (And he didn't lie to them, did he?)

(CVS can charge for other vaccinations: seasonal flu, whooping cough, shingles, .... Maybe your guy got some other vaccination.)
There is a very short shelf life to the vaccine once you thaw it out. There have been reports of vaccination sites throwing half-empty vials out at closing time. Better to get it into someone's arm than throw it away. I'm sure this is what CVS was thinking.
Except your guy went in at noon, not closing time (6 PM or later in almost every CVS in the world).

Why don't you provide a decent health plan for your employees? Or maybe you really DO support some form a Medicare-for-All so that ALL employers (even Wal-Mart) could have a healthier work force. Or maybe you just want Medicare-for-CDL's-Employees so that CDL can make more money on the backs of the American taxpayers.
