express checkout lane

[TGantz]

are you guys baiting Gantz on purpose?

Alright [expletive]. I got my laptop working again. I lurked from my phone. There was a thread about grocery store problems and a thread dedicated to Dr. Pepper. Seriously?

I just had a meltdown in Walmart, never going to shop there again.

Some lady several people in front of me in the express checkout had at least 80, possibly 100 items in her cart in the 20 items or less line. It was the most egregious I've ever seen. Some sort of assistant manager just happened to be walking by and I asked her if she could do anything about it. She said she wouldn't. I asked her to change the sign to 100 items or less to be more accurate. She didn't like that. I informed her she could put all my items back on the shelf and left.

Next time, just count loudly as each item is rung up. 1....2....3.... ....95....96....97....

To counter horrific "express checkout" situations, I do one of two things:

1. Take my half dozen or so items to the customer service counter

or

2. Utilize the increasingly abundant "self checkout" stations

A brand new Wal Mart Market opened less than a mile from my house (thank goodness). There are a half dozen self checkout stations. It's the greatest thing ever.

edit: the only thing worse than slow express checkout experiences are waiting behind the guy/girl at QT that is buying smokes and lottery tickets.

I hope you at least donated some food so the associates don't go hungry this Thanksgiving.

Self checkout stations at Wal-Mart are brilliant. They never seem to open "express" lanes at my local store and every lane is packed with people pushing full shopping carts. So now they don't lose the customers who want to pick up a few items but don't want to wait 30-45 minutes in line to do so. And they can pay for fewer workers.

It's a win-win for everyone involved!
