Sometimes even WALMART get it right
Advertisements [?]
Occasionally I shop at Walmart for groceries. Some things, anyway. The store used to have 6 cashiers, which in Season in Florida were needed. I went there one day and there was ONE CASHIER, and 5 Self Scan lines, with one employee to help with "problems". It was a nightmare, even in off season. The one cashier line was down to almost the back of the store. The few people on the Self Scan Lines were having a lot of problems. The one "help" employee was on one line trying to help people. The other people on the other scan lines were either walking out, or going on the cashier line. Some people were leaving baskets filled to the brim where they were and walking out. The manager was trying to help but there were just too many people with too many problems, and too few employees.

I went back 3 weeks later. To my amazement there was only ONE Self Scan line again. FIVE additional cashers were manning the registers. The only people on the Self Scan line had very, very few items. I was totally shocked at how fast, and how many, live people were put back at those registers, even at a place like Walmart. That is FIVE PEOPLE who now had JOBS.

Is this what it takes? Telling them I am as mad as hell and will walk out, not use your product, until you give me what I want? Maybe we need to give this message to our POLITIC ANS too!
