LT01MKT27 = laptop at HQ, in marketing, 27 is the unique ID
SV05EXC03 = server at remote office #5, running exchange, 03 is the unique ID

I think that’s what CVS got busted doing:

“according to a lawsuit filed by a New Yorker, this money is allegedly being used to repay a $10 million commitment that the pharmacy chain has already made to the ADA, unbeknownst to customers. The suit accuses CVS of engaging in fraud and violating consumer protection laws in all 50 states. In essence, it argues, CVS is guilt-tripping customers in the checkout line to reimburse its own charitable donations.”
