If You Have Attitude Then Having a Backbone To Back it Up Is Essential…

I went to a Neighborhood Walmart and got what I needed and had it in my cart, about 10 different items….they did not have any cashiers working to check out my purchases. I asked the woman who was watching the self check if they had anyone who would check out my groceries. She said I had to do it myself unless I had tax-exempt status (buying for a business). I told her no and if they wanted my business they would check out my stuff for me. If not they could restock the stuff in the cart. I walked out and heard one young man said “She has an attitude”. I thought “Yeah I have an attitude and I also have a backbone to back up what i believe”….

@SW-User they won’t get my business then and I will voice my opinion as I walk out. I have no shame in doing so. The reason they are getting by with this is people are too timid and willing to be compliant that they are getting by with it.

@cherokeepatti [c=4C0073]exactly, as long as people are too timid, and keep giving them business, they will have no reason to change or be accommodating :)[/c]

@SW-User That type of mindset will affect other aspects of life too. Very sad so many are compliant when they should be speaking out. The young people have no idea of what service is. Corporations are greedy as hell and could care less about us as individuals and customers.

@SW-User They’ve cut so many services. It’s like the whole country is self-serving right down to masturbating instead of finding a real person.

@cherokeepatti [c=4C0073]the youngins actually prefer the app nonsense and self checkouts ..
i am relatively young but i still cannot stand the degradation that is happening due to blind compliance with corporate greed ..

Add to that, now most internet connected consumer goods have a "planned expiry" when it will auto fail to work, even if the components are totally fine.. for example consumer grade home electronics like cams, fridges, tv and so on[/c]

@SW-User they would love to have everyone order groceries including frozen, produce, dairy, meat etc online. That way the customer can’t examine the expiration dates to see how far away they are or check the meat to see if it has too much fat chunks in it or see if the produce looks fresh and not wilted. They can sell everything that way and get rid of it. I always look at dates on dairy and get the freshest I can. When I worked at Walmart there were customers bringing back lunch meat, bacon, pork chops, etc and they didn’t check dates when they bought it and found that it was turning green when they got it home. Imagine shopping on the internet and someone throws that mess into your cart and delivers it or you pick it up. Then you have to drive back over and bring it back, what a damned hassle.

@cherokeepatti [c=4C0073]yeah that is just nasty imo ..
No way i will succumb to that .. always go there and choose the produce myself! .. I will stubbornly keep doing it [/c]
