Sounds familiar. If I really told you what the problem was there, I would no longer be allowed to post. Too many “Low Information” checkout people to put it in the vernacular. ‘Nuff said.
“Too many “Low Information” checkout people”
I’m shocked that companies are willing to tolerate this (though they benefit in the short run - these people must earn very little). I’ve been to a nearby Dollar General where a semi-intelligent cashier could turn a five-minute trip into half an hour, working slow as molasses and constantly encountering problems ringing people up.
I was ashamed a few weeks ago when I had two or three things in a basket and after ten minutes simply laid it on the floor where I stood on line and walked right out the door; one of my children was with me, and I just wanted to explode...so I walked out. These places operate on shoestring budgets, seeming to only open a second register when ten people are lined up at the one open one.
