I just had a "Norma Rae" moment at the Mall-wart... |
|
I despise that place, but unfortunately unemployed people have to shop where they can afford to...:(
So anyway, I was at the self-scanner thingy, and every time I'd scan something it said 'Please run item's barcode across the scanner and then place in bagging area'...which of course, is clearly what I was doing. So then the little attendant person would have to push some buttons or something and reset the stupid scanner thing before I could continue. :eyes:
After about 10 items I allowed a wee profanity-laced rant to escape...I couldn't help it, the whole situation was just so absurd...here I am shopping at the evil empire, scanning my purchases myself on a machine that has essentially replaced a live person, and the fucking thing doesn't even function properly, thus requiring a real live person to make adjustments so it WILL run properly. Wtf kind of crazy shit is this? And so I said as much, in a none too quiet voice.
Thankfully the other shoppers near me clearly felt the same way, as there were several laughs, and a loud "Yeah!". :D
Fucking Mall-wart...:grr:

Makes a perverted kind of sense. I guess they found a way to not hire/pay as many folk. I guess its not bad enough to make folks work after they have clocked out and the corp. gets a huge death benefit for employees that die while employed there. What's next? A whole store operated by robots?
Good job, D. Fortunately I have so far avoided WM in my stint as the cretinous unemployed. But as my unemp. benefits are about to run out, I may be dumpster-diving soon.

9. Let's keep those folks employed |
|
If you must shop at Walmart-Insist you are incompetent to run the scanner and must have a human to assist you. Let's keep those folks employed.
