well. When it comes to my walmart..
. I know what I see.. and I know what I hear... and I sure don't feel like I come first.. as a valued consumer..
. quite the opposite... it is truly a numbers game... first force out your competition... dominate the market..
.. then open your doors... and stop giving a shite...

In other words, the store would have sales clerks man the registers, which is what Walmart does.

Nah. Where I am, Humans also exaggerate about the lines at Walmart, because those Humans also don't understands how things work in the retail industry.

when I was a young boy..
gas stations had gas jockeys..
. oh hang on to your hats. boys and girls... yes a gas jockey.. you would pull up! they would come to your window... how much gas would you like today ma'am or sir... and do you need your oil checked... I noticed your rear tire is a little low... I will add more air for you..... then they would put your gas in your car... check your oil.. add pressure to that low tire..
and even clean your window... in the time it took to put the gas in your car...... and with a smile on their face....
...ohh.. and if that is hard for you to believe....



Move to Oregon. It's illegal to pump your own gas, and therefore they still have 'attendants', who do give full service. Being that I am from California, we haven't seen this in 30 years. It was a little strange to be getting a service, that I am used to doing myself. I almost felt guilty. lol.

The various folks we encountered while gassing up were very polite and did good work, my windows were damn clean! (and I think I personally killed 400K insects on the last trip) :laughing:

..omg.. Walmart.. ok first let me start by saying this... I'm looking for a consensus.. this is international this site..yes...ok... so where you live.. they have a Walmart right..?...
.. how long is the line at your Walmart.. you know when you're going through the checkout...

.. I live in Canada.. we have Walmarts..
.. these big superstore chains..
with approximately 30 to 40 checkout counters... but sure as there is fuzz on a peach.... every time I go into one..... the only have maybe 5 or 6 check out's open.... even on a Saturday... when they're extremely busy.... 6or 7 check outs open only...
.. is it just here in my city ... or has any one else come across this issue...

.. why do they have 30 check outs... if they never use them.... yes feel free to rag on Walmart... I love to waste their CEOs time.. make him stand in line up all day... to buy my goods..

.



Some people at Walmart, or stores in general, act like they never want to leave. I'm all about getting in and out of there as soon as possible since I don't enjoy shopping.

A debit card and self checkout usually has my stuff bagged with a receipt in hand in less than 15 seconds on a busy Saturday. I save an additional minute by sprinting up and down the stairs when entering and leaving the store, While the masses are herding themselves onto the slow moving escalator. From the time I leave my car, to the time I return? Approximately 2-3 minutes, depending on how long it took me to find the item/s I was looking for...

Doesn't Canada's Walmarts have self checkouts, Or do you feel that it's an inconvenience to have to use them?

.. I believe it is China.. or some Asian country.... they place a high value on service.... if the customer is not happy.. they feel as if they have failed..
