No anon. He wasn't autistic. This child was a fully functioning spoiled train wreck of a human being.
The chips were just the start. Sodas were open. Half the donuts were eaten.
I was literally handed handfuls of food wrappers and Pokemon card wrappers.

They didn't have the cards he wanted so he told his mother to go to Toys R Us.
The mother said ok like it was the most natural thing in the world. This woman is literally killing her child by spoiling him. I seriously considered telling a manager to call cps or something.

The general lack of expediency and awareness, just like freeway driving. Speaking of which I have to share a great freeway story--you know how when they're doing construction, most people are aware and are like, "oh shit let me get into the proper lane"...but then arrogant prick fuck line cuttters zoom past and then whine like an adult baby to be let in?

Recently that was the case as per usual; I'm approaching the proper lane with a semi ahead. I let him go first, plenty of room to get fully squared in the lane. But he angles just enough to block the prick line cutting lane ON PURPOSE to block the prick crybaby line cutters. NOT ON MY WATCH! HAHAHAHA!!!!

I don't think this issue happens as often because grocery stores have updated the machines to be more efficient:
I used to hate it when I got done scanning and bagging an entire basket only for the customer to pull out one of those manufacturer coupons where you'd have to write-in the price of the product to get it free. And usually they'd do this on purpose to try to stiff the cashiers.
The stipulation was that they'd have to buy two products to get the third free, and they'd hope you would just not notice/get irritated looking and give them the free product regardless if they followed the rules.
The machine I cashiered on at the time was so old (I worked at the store in 2009 and these registers were from the late 90s) that I would have to manually scroll up and then determine what item gibberish the product was and guess the price. Or go through all the bags looking for the stupid products. If I had to tell them they didn't buy the right products and I couldn't honor the coupon, they'd start hollering at my ass until a manager came over. They'd get pissy if they tried to get an expensive product free (these coupons had money caps) and I had to tell them no.

It's not hard to give the coupons to the cashier first so they can be aware of what they're looking for, unless you're trying to be a rip off. It still peeves me if I'm behind one of these damn couponers in line and they start being fussy.

>They have them because somehow they have figured that it makes more money for them.

It's not "somehow" anon, this is well known: When you get a card they give you a discount in exchange for being able to track your purchasing habits. That's what the card is for--it is used to track what you buy, which can't be done if you pay cash for obvious reasons, or with a credit card due to banking privacy laws. The card is an entry in their database that tracks what you buy. That data is what the stores use to figure out what items to stock and which to discontinue.

>> No.9696048

>>9695999
>>9696043
Not only for tracking but I think people misunderstand how the sales and coupons work

The way the sales and coupons work is that it's all recorded and the store reports the sales from sale items to the suppliers and then they are reimbursed by the suppliers.

In other words, everybody wins in this situation. Plus, paying their full retail or not getting something in return for paying full price is fucking asinine.

>> No.9696052

>>9696043
It's also simple psychology. If people believe they are getting more discounts at a particular store and have a card, they will more likely be repeat customers.
Also when they fill out the address and email info, circulars and ads are sent to them from that store.

>> No.9696056

>Breaking something and not notifying anyone and just walking away like you never did it. We know.
>Complaining about prices. I don't set them and I can't change them. The orderer sets the prices based on what price he can get on a good. Profit margins are very slim. This has to be one of the top 5 pet peeves.
>If it's 8PM and there's about 5 people in the store, feel free to start a monologue about your life. If we're busy, go away.
>Ask for something, I tell you we "unfortunately don't have it right now, I'm sorry", and then ask if we have any in the back. If the shelf is empty and I just TOLD YOU WE DON'T HAVE IT, then we don't have it.
>If we're out of a really common product of a specific brand, such as wanting Coors Light, and then complain. Just buy Bud Light or Miller Lite or literally any other light beer they all taste like watered down piss.

You aren't supposed to like them, they're not there for you. They're there to shame/intimidate you out of stealing. It disgusts me frankly, I hate shopping in a store that makes it plain how classless and shitty they assume their customers are.

this reminds me of a story from a couple months back. went to walmart with ma. she chooses the line that has five customers waiting to put the groceries on the belt. I see there is no one in the next line and one person in the line on the other side. so I tell ma and she says she don't like that cashier. okay lets wait 15 minutes then. as i'm standing there, a nigger starts waiting behind my ma, with one big item in his cart. why is this line so popular? is this nig checking out my white moms ass? then two minutes later he b lines straight ahead to the customer service area and I watch him "returning" the item that he had a receipt for. but he just went and grabbed the item off the shelf and got the item he has sitting at home for free basically.

I mean the costco doorperson makes no effort to hide the fact that they are checking your card to make sure you are a member and checking your receipt to make sure you didn't steal a TV.

Since it's a members-only store it feels a little different somehow, like it's fair to put up with poor treatment in order to justify the low prices. Like I'm also not going to complain about the fact that there are no roaming employees to help you find things, it's all part of the bargain.
I guess it is pretty much the same thing though. That Fortune article I linked even said that walmart is putting receipt-checkers by the doors of the locations where they have the worst loss rates.

That is actually by design, same with the "no bags" situation. The original store that came up with this, Price Club, is no longer in business, but Costco stole it from them.

>> No.9697928

Well for Costco I am bound by contract via the membership agreement to present my receipt as I exit with my purchase. At Walmart there is no such contract and they're basically treating you like a thief.

No bags? I guess I never noticed. When I buy cases of wine they have plenty of boxes for me to take at least. Also never realized that Price Club isn't the same thing as Costco. The ones around here used to be called Price Club and got the name changed to Costco later, which I thought was funny because the "Price" in Price Club was a person's name, while the cost in Costco just refers to the cost of goods.

That is also how I have felt for years about the TSA, like if they were somehow contractors of the airlines that I had to agree to relinquish my privacy to in order to enter into the ticket contract, nobody could make any argument. As a government agency, I feel that they violate my 4th Amendment rights.
Obviously not the same thing as Walmart which is already a private entity (although I do have some ideas about nationalizing Walmart), but it is less insulting if I feel like I've been given a choice in the matter (i.e., whether to buy a costco membership).

Might wanna get some control over your emotions at some point.

No, it's not. Stores look at trends and get shipments accordingly.If they completely sell out of a common item they know that they understocked, you bitching at some low-level employee isn't accomplishing anything because they're #1 not getting paid enough to care about your whining and #2 it's not their problem. By all means, go to management and whine your little heart out to them.

i help people with mental illness for a living, and work with one horrible, fat, no-impulse control asshole in particular. when i take him grocery shopping, he always manages to take up the whole aisle with his cart and bloated beach ball body. when i tell him to get out of the way so someone can pass he makes it worse by almost pulling wheelies inside the aisle. he follows me with the cart anyway when i tell him to leave it somewhere so he wont be a bother. he aggressively stares up and down any women shoppers that pass by. he bumps his cart into other carts and almost hits people with his cart when i tell him to watch out for x, y, or z. its like telling him to watch out for something makes it worse.
he also intentionally bumped into a woman once and stared her up and down as she quickly walked away. her husband didnt notice cus he was looking at some vending machine, and the asshole denied it when i chewed him out over it. he deserved to have his ass kicked by the husband though. i kinda hate him.

Brush up, learn, and find better ways to defend your arguments in the future. And don't yell at traffic lights for not turning green fast enough either, my man. That won't help...you...understand? Okay talk to you another day.

ugh, the way your mind works just absolutely stinks man. your language just reveals the weird confines of your weird brain.

the implied familiarity is gross?
appeals to logic and reason?
analogies explicating nothing, going nowhere?

this isn't an argument. you painted the picture, we're just describing it.

For some reason my grocery store only employs teenagers as cashiers and if you ever try to buy alcohol they have to call over an adult, it's kind of annoying
