If I was this person, I would complain in writing to CVS' CEO. Go right
to the top. The last thing a CEO wants to see is is company getting a
bad reputation because that hurts the bottom line.

Lay down on your stomach, put your hands over the back of your neck,
and play dead.
You may be swiped a few times before the bear moves away and be
bruised and bloodied,
but you will come out alive.

They also say when going through the forest make your presence known

I'd rather climb an apple tree and throw apples at the bear.

Wear small bells that allow the grizzly to hear you approach.
This will prevent you from surprising them.
Carry pepper spray to attempt to ward off grizzlies.
Know the signs of bears to be aware of their presence.
Black bear droppings usually contain berries or seeds.
Grizzly bear droppings will contain small bells and smell like pepper.

There has been much discussion on the subject recently because of an
unusually high incidence of bear attacks this year - poor berry crops
have led bears to seek food farther afield.

The professional naturalists laugh at this suggestion. Even an
immature black bear can roll you over.

The advice that these professionals give is this: fight. Your only
chance is to convince the bear you are not worth the effort.

There are different bear behaviours - some bears are simply being
territorial or seeing you as a competitor for food. They will huff and
snort and paw. You should show yourselves, and back away slowly,
never turning your back on the bear.

Some bears, but very rarely become desparate enough to hunt you for
food. They will stalk you, hunching down and trying not to make noise.
These are the bears you'd better be prepared to fight.

I was discussing bears with a backcountry canoist who has twenty years
experience in Algonquin park. He has never seen a truly wild bear do
anything but run from humans. He has seen 4 wild bears in 20 years.
The more dangerous bears are those who scavange campgrounds for food
and become used to human presense. They lose their fear of humans, and
if they are truly hungry can't be scared from a food source like a
cooler. I met one of them a few weeks back in Grundy, a group of us
followed the protocol and shouted waved and made our selves noisy, but
this bear was not scared of humans at all, and didn't enter the bear
traps. He was eventually killed.

Glad to hear that more and more plug-in electric cars and scooters
won't cause blackouts and electric rate increases to upgrade the grid
(so blackouts won't occur.)

Glad to hear that more and more plug-in electric cars and scooters
won't result in a need for more and more worldwide polluting power
plants to meet those electric demands- especially in China, India,
Thailand, Japan etc. etc. , MEXICO and the U.S. !

Glad to hear there will be no reason to be concerned about worldwide
health problems due to more and more polluting power plants!

Don't believe the above fantasy!

Demand a SOLAR charging option from electric vehicle manufacturers!

information on solar powered cars:

only 8 solar panels charge this electric car in a day!:

solar-electric-car.com

4 Solar panels on the roof recharge the 15 batteries on the Mazda
Electric Car if they are only half empty If the Mazda is near empty it
takes all 8 panels al day long to charge. If wind is blowing the wind
charger makes the charging go faster.

made in USA - solar charged electric car:

Also:

I received this email from the air powered car manufacturer stating
that they expect to come out with a SOLAR POWERED ELECTRIC AIR
COMPRESSOR for their car!:

Secondly there are people who are looking into using
a solar panel to generate the energy required to fill

wind power and river current. Stay tuned and check
