Consumer World Original
We're in the height of election season, and more and more on social media, influencers are suggesting whom to vote for.

J.D. Power surveyed over 13,000 consumers about their experience with retail pharmacies. Satisfaction with mail order pharmacies is rising, while that of brick and mortar chains is falling. For retail chains, Good Neighbor Pharmacy far outranks competitors, while CVS is in last place. Supermarket pharmacies are popular with Publix taking the number one spot, while Safeway finishes last. In the mail order pharmacy category, PillPack by Amazon is number one. See the rest of the list.
With interest rates starting to fall, banks are rolling out the carpet for new customers. How do they do that? They offer bonuses for signing up for new accounts.
