CVS Will Rebuild 2 Stores in Baltimore

Turns out that those employees are still getting paychecks, deservedly so!

Forty-five Baltimore CVS workers who saw their stores burned down in the riots earlier this week are still getting paid.
(snip) But "given the extraordinary circumstances," CVS is paying those workers for their regularly scheduled hours while they try to transfer them to nearby stores, spokeswoman Carolyn Castel said.
In fact, "most" have already been working at other locations, she said. There are 20 other CVS stores in the city.
This coupled with the promise shown in the op above makes me happy. These employees still have a job, paychecks and will eventually be able to return to their community to continue their employment.
