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”….

I notice that most places are resorting to the whole self check out thing even some fast food places have it to where you have to use one of those touch screen things to order yourself, and not that it bothers me personally but I can see it being an issue for others. So, the fact that they’re not even willing to make accommodations for those who have trouble with self check out or self order is bizarre. I saw a man refusing to use the touch screen order at the fast food place and the employee just rang him up like normal on the register. Which I think that should always be at least an option at these places. I know many Walmarts are going to have all their registers be self check out but they should have at least two or three regular ones for people who aren’t able to do self check out.

@Stark [c=4C0073]as long as they get good business they wont bother accomodating the few who dont want to use the self checks .. capitalism at it's best, profit first, customers last[/c]

Stark

@SW-User Yeah, that’s true. I do feel bad for the older folks who have trouble with technology as is.

@Stark I don’t eat fast food so I won’t be there. But I did tell them that I wasn’t being paid to work in Walmart checking out my own groceries.

Stark

@cherokeepatti Yeah, I figured you didn’t eat fast food. I remember you mentioning that.

@Stark I used to but I don’t trust it now. Too many chemicals, used cooking oil that is dangerous plus I don’t trust what they are using as meat.

Walmart is very slow at the best of times. With all self check out, I would just continue to order online and pick up. It used to try my patience trying to checkout there before the pandemic. I haven’t been inside since then. @Stark
