CVS might soon let you open all those annoying locked shelves with your phone


You won’t need to wait around for overworked employees anymore.

Aside from trying to simplify and speed up the process of picking up your prescriptions, the latest version also includes a feature that should make dealing with locked cabinets a bit less maddening. According to the Journal, “app users need to be logged in, on the local store Wi-Fi, and with their device’s Bluetooth enabled to activate the feature.” You’ve also got to be a member of the CVS loyalty program if you want the convenience of grabbing secured merchandise without calling for help. Its search is now “enhanced and AI-powered,” and later this year, customers can expect a “new conversational AI chat experience that enables patients to check medication refills, status of their orders, and more.”
