Just walked out leaving a buggy full of meat and dairy because the lines stretched half the width of the store and doubled back to the middle. Told the store manager that I would not be back and called corporate to tell them the same.

Nice Seriously people who don't understand how big companies like Walmart work and just loose it in bottom tier employees drive me nuts. Corporate are the ones who make a majority of decisions and the people at the store can't change it at the snap of a finger. But no one ever seems to try and call corporate. So seriously thank you for actually calling the shot callers with your grievance, another few dozen people it might actually do something YouTube expert

I don't want to work as a cashier and bagger at Walmart, or any other store either. Younger people than us are mostly okay with checking themselves out. Keith

They are just as powerless as the customer. I also understand the pressure corporate is under to cut costs when the social pressure is the "living wage". They are between the rock and a hard place and unless they get up the gumption to bust some rocks they are going to suffer. But at the rate things are going I'm thinking a whole lot of things are going to get busted before it's all over.

Now no one can find anything since everything has been moved all over the place. I have seen several folks taking advantage of the honor system situation. No one is challenging these people at least when I was there. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

I figured I could go in, deal with idiots, try to find whatever I want, wait in line to check out my stuff, bag it, haul it out to the car, load it up and head home,,, or pull in punch a button on my phone. They bring out all my stuff and load it for me .... no brainer. I haven't been inside a Walmart more than a handful of times in 3 years. www.iowatrapperstalk.com
