what has me upset is that they spent all that time getting rid of cashiers, for self check out… THEN THEY CLOSE 3/4 OF THEM! they will have 2 rows with a person there, for cigarettes and such, then have a single person watching 6 self checkouts. if trader joes/aldi had name brand snacks i would cut out wall-mart wholesale from my routine. the whole shopping experience is terrible, and for some reason wall mart is more expensive and worse quality

Also fucking greeters who want check your receipt. I don't stop, my wife won't acknowledge them. If you don't trust me to scan and pack my shit then bring back cashiers. Fuck that noise. And yes we should get a discount.

They ask me for my receipt so I just hand it to them and keep walking.

They asked for my receipt, not to stop.

Lol that hilarious I might do that and see what happens

I do the same. They chose to outsource a critical piece of their business to unpaid labor. They get what they paid for

So you disrespect the person doing the job? I won't insult them so.

I mean if the job comes with disrespect people will stop taking it right?

Not that it's a nice thing to do but it does sound effective. Consumers don't really have much recourse when large companies adopt policies that hurt them. It's designed like that for a reason. You won't be mean to a person from your community so they make them the face of their bad policy choices. Then they can say oh sorry it's just our policy and the issue goes away

"no thank you" is not disrespectful
