I may not have realised I was using a British English specific term :)
“High Street” does etymologically derive from the main shopping street(s) in a town where most shops would have premises, as you suggest.
In a contemporary usage it means physical retail (versus online) and also connotes city centre, versus places that have enormous out of town “big box” stores.
So economists might say “The high street saw the best Christmas profits in five years” and they mean all retail in that sector of business.
So when I said CVS were a “high-street pharmacy” what I really meant to imply by that was “they are a brick-and-mortar chain with physical stores on streets in towns and cities all over the place”
What is a CVS guy
CVS is a high street pharmacy chain.
So the “CVS guy” is the cashier on checkout at the store.
In my town the CVS has a self checkout unless you hunt someone down. So maybe OP was talking to themselves
Considering OPs headspace at the time that’s plausible. lol
What does high street mean? Main street?

Claim to use British English but didn’t call it Acacia Avenue? Something seems fishy
You mean 22?
Some old dude who hasn’t moved on to newer version control systems like git or hg
It’s the guy that makes fake CVs on demand.
A machinist? And they specialize in front wheel transaxles?
There is a store in the US called CVS. The “cvs guy” is the cashier/worker.
