I visited CVS to buy cold medicine. The guy who working at back side his name is Sujan, he seemed like he is a manager.. he is the best person i ever meet in the store ,he walked with me to the aisle, helped me find the exact medicine my doctor had recommended. He also explained the current sales and promotions.
