“...this is what happens when people vote into office the people they do.”
And yet how many make that connection? Everybody on FR certainly does, but it seems like nobody else can make that connection.
I was in our local CVS store the other day and there are lots more locked cabinets and lots more emptied store shelves. Good luck finding somebody to unlock a cabinet for you and heaven help you if you need three or four locked-up things from different parts of the store. It becomes impossible. I got some allergy over-the-counter medication and went to self check-out (another thing I hate!). Of course, the machine says they need an age check to buy the medication, so I had to wait for a person to show up which took a while.
It is SO much easier to go on Amazon, click-click-click and you are done, and the stuff is delivered the next day. The in-store shopping experience is horrible.
I sure miss the good old days when stores had plenty of help, checkers emptied your cart and efficiently rang up your items, and baggers bagged everything for you. The young men would often take your cart to your car and load your car for you, too!
This era of self-service means NO service and you have to do all the jobs that the store used to do for you. Some “service” economy. How did things get so bad?
In the future you will go online and make your selections and payment. Then go to the store and it will be brought to you.
