Do retail chains like CVS/Walgreens care about your GPA?

When I first started pharmacy school, everyone told me GPA only matters, if you're interested in applying for a residency. I was just wondering if this is starting to change with the job market becoming more competitive. For example, if it comes down to two equally qualified/experienced candidates, will GPA be the deciding factor? My GPA is probably about average for my class.

retails care about your gpa as much as they care about what you had for breakfast.

the 3.9 gpa student

No. It's about work experience, how long you've been with the company, and your connections especially if the location is more saturated.

yes, you need a 2.0 or higher. Anything lower and you are screwed.
