Will they ruin a good thing?
Damn. This means they are going to cut our hours at the store level even more. Ugh. I'm sure they will still have their massive executive all expenses paid party at Disney World this year tho! >

Yep. Cut hours and have less people on shift. The very first thing I noticed is that they removed the wall clock - I'm sure it was an attempt to make it harder for the employees to see how much longer that had to suffer out their shift.
When I left CVS, there were two people on a shift - a pharmacist (shortly after taking over, they never had a full time pharmacist) and one other person to do everything else. I moved over to Publix, and they have had 4 or 5 people behind the counter when I've been there.
