I had something similar this morning. I went to a Walmart that opens up at 7am. I got there at 7:15 to buy a game console. I asked, no exaggeration, seven different employees to ring me up and every one of them told me "I can't". No follow up after that. Just "I can't". The seventh one told me "I think the guy in electronics comes in at 8, so you have to wait until then". I told her "but your store is open for business now" and she just walked away. She essentially told me, without a hint of irony, that I would have to stand there for 45 minutes if I wanted to buy it. She had no embarrassment about telling me this either. I waltzed around the store and finally found someone who is allowed to ring up electronics. And the fact that he was there annoyed me even more, because that last girl had no qualms about me standing there for 45 minutes, all the while the person who could ring me up was there the whole time. She was willing to make me stand there for 45 minutes so she didn't have to take 30 seconds to see if that guy was in the store. And I'm barely even miffed at her specifically. It was almost in a spiteful way, like she wouldn't want Walmart to get the impression that they're going to get anything resembling helpful employees at the wages they are paying. That's probably the same reason you got the bandana excuse. Subconsciously making sure customers hate that place too.

how the gently caress people continue to shop at Walmart is beyond me. It is consistently the most miserable store, employee and customer alike every time I'm in one. Sure things are 'cheaper', but literally by cents since they don't end their prices in .99, they never have sales so while things are marginally cheaper you're not getting a good price AND the truly cheap poo poo is bottom of the barrel lowest quality Chinese loving plastic junk

Uncle at Nintendo posted:Not a town but all of NYC's five boroughs do not allow Wal-Marts to do business there. Good, local government should try to maintain quality of life. The big thing to remember is that Walmart actually does not help you save money. They sell you cheap poo poo at $X that needs to be replaced every year when you could buy a real, lasting product for $3X. Walmart costs you more money than buying real products does.

The same exact model TV at walmart and at Best Buy have nothing in common, because Walmart forces their suppliers to start separate production lines and so on to meet their prices. Rubber Dick Model X1 at Best Buy is a completely different product than Rubber Dick Model X1 at Walmart. Walmart knows this and exploits that, by yelling "YOU CAN GET IT HERE FOR LESS" Except you aren't getting it for less, you're getting a shittier product for more than it's worth.

To be fair to Wal-Mart employees: The pay is bad. The hours are bad. The turnover is bad. If you put an unauthorized out of order sign on something that is out if order and a hazard to operate a supervisor might get angry at you for violating national policy which risks the store getting fined by corporate! So just wait for a manager to get around to finding or making the sign.

I sometimes think about what shopping at Walmart must be like, ie, paying normal money for substandard stuff. It makes me feel bad for a minute, but then I laugh a lot. Success means never having to step foot in a Walmart.
