~~Are you being sarcastic? That looks terrible. I hate when websites go for the CVS receipt layout.~~

~~Or did you just zoom way, way out for the screenshot? I'm on mobile so it already looks CVS-receipty.~~

Edit: Oh, you did just zoom way out, so I take a lot of that back. Still don't think it looks great though. Cluttered and just "too much".

What is a CVS receipt layout? Why do you hate it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Not sure if "CVS receipt layout" is a common term or not, but I've used it over the last 10 years or so.

It describes websites that have massive margins with the content displayed as a thin strip down the middle; everything on the side is just wasted space (or crammed with ads).

Receipts from the retailer CVS are a known joke where the smallest, single-item purchase will generate a receipt that's 6 foot long because of all the ads, coupons, and other junk tacked on.

In the old days, it was a lazy way to make websites work on desktop and mobile. Now, it's a lazy excuse for not doing responsive design and/or allocating massive amounts of space for ads. I hate it. lol.

CVS receipt, left, is several feet long and shown next to a tape measure and other, normally-sized receipts.
