Rediculous

MidnightViper88 · 11th June 2007, 05:31

I was up at the Speedway earlier to get some gas, and there were 4 workers up at the front, and only one of them was working a register...There are two registers, and there were about 8 or 10 so people in that single line...Some people waiting couldn't wait anymore, and others voiced questions about why the other register couldn't be opened...One guy even said that the workers would probably wait for 20 people to wait in line to justify opening another register...

Good fucking God

QuikTrip, every trip.

What were the other employees doing? This happens everyday where I work and it's especially bad when changing shifts. If the other employees weren't doing anything then I can certainly understand where you're coming from, but if they were actually doing something (it may not look like anything that couldn't wait a few minutes longer, but a lot of times shit has to be done right at shift change), then just chill man. Again, if you happened to walk in during a shift change, a lot of places are unable to open the second register until the shift change is complete simply because that register is used to gather totals and print out reports for the closing shift.

I can tell you that standing behind that register is just as frustrating when you have that many people in line, it's very intimidating. A lot of people get very upset having to wait for even a couple of minutes. But these same people will go to a department store and wait in line for a much longer period of time without even so much as a subtle sigh.

It's just become expected that at gas stations and convenience stores you should receive almost instantaneous service. And believe me, when people get pissed off like that we want to get them out of there as soon as fucking possible.

At Target, once, 2 lines were open.

When I got to the quick checkout. the pimple faced kid there talking to someone looked at me and said "I'm closed" in a cocky, pussy tone. and turns his light off.

the only other checkout open had 5 people with carts full of groceries

so I go and wait in that line for about 5 mins.
Then a manager walking by says: "Tommy..." and then the pimple faced kid sighs and turns his light back on.

So, I go over there, check out, and then go directly to the customer service desk.
Got a $5 gift card.

I have to agree, the worst part about shopping right now (pretty much anwywhere) is checking out. There are NEVER enough registers open. Sure, there are at least a dozen registers....but if you only have two open, what difference does it make? Why can I run in, grab what I need in literally three minutes--only to be forced to wait for twenty, thirty minutes or longer to check out?!

MidnightViper88 · 11th June 2007, 18:28

I love shopping at Kroger because they have the U-Scan services...It's so much better for me to scan my owb stuff than to rely on someone else to do it for me...

This is exactly why I refuse to go to any of the major grocery stores any more (especially Wal-Mart). Wal-Mart Supercenters (at least the ones here) have well over 2 DOZEN checkout registers IN ADDITION TO THE SELF-CHECKOUT REGISTERS. Why am I forced to wait in line for half a fucking hour to buy a gallon of milk and a box of cereal? At any given time, no more than 5 or 6 of those registers are open. And nine times out of ten, the self-checkout registers are closed down, too. Wtf, man? Open those motherfucking things up! That's what they're for! One time, I went to Wal-Mart at 01:00 on a Saturday morning specifically so that I wouldn't have to deal with hordes of shoppers. I figured it'd be quick since the only people there would be the store employees doing the restocking. I run in, get my things, then head to the registers. I get to the front of the store to find ONE register open, and there are 5 people in line with FULL grocery carts. None of the self-checkout registers were open, either. I put my shit back and left.

skryingbreath · 13th June 2007, 05:23

Where I work I never even go near the registers, that's a big no-no to me because whenever I do a customer comes up and tries to buy something. It's really unnerving since I have the stupid little apron on and I look like I can comandeer the register, well I can't...so there. I usually pick up a piece of paper and act like I'm frustrated, then they usually pan off.

MidnightViper88 · 13th June 2007, 18:38

I really hate the cashiers our HR Scott has been hiring lately at my/our Target...There have been several times where I've gone up and bought something, and the cashiers just have attitude problems...The most irritating trait is that they assume that I know what I'm supposed to pay, and don't bother to tell me anything...

I guess since they aren't telling me anything, that it's probably free...I'll take my shit and leave, thank you very much!

fuckwads

They're easy to pick out at my Target, though; Just don't go to any of the lanes with the wigger-looking guys...

I think it would be funny if the Air Force accidentally dropped a bomb on a Target store.

I haven't been to a gas station register in years. Pay at the pump pwns. I'll admit sometimes there's the rare exception where the pump runs out of receipt paper and I go in for a copy for my records.

I havent spent a penny or more at Wal*Mart since 2001 for multiple reasons. I'll probably never step into a Wal*Mart or Sam's Club again in my life.
