In the US we have "convenience stores." Do we need "inconvenience stores?"

[raccoon]

or maybe we already have some, we just don't call them that.

1. Wal-Mart fills that need, especially at 2 AM when they are re-stocking the shelves lol nt

2. Meijer stores here in the Midwest/Great Lakes

Cashier to customer ratio of approximately 1:25. Oh, and the "15 items or less" rule is completely ignored in the express checkout, I often see people with entire bulging cart loads. There is always, however, the convenience of the self-checkout, where one attendant tries to keep up with roughly 15 lanes - woe be upon you if you have a problem and need assistance.

3. I avoid using self-checkout. Replacing cashiers and personal service with a computer ...

... just doesn't flip my flapjacks.

4. I try to.

Unfortunately, a lot of my shopping is early morning, and at many places, Meijer and Kroger among them, they have only self-checkout open. It sucks.
