Marc,
ML> I'll try posting a "retail horror" of my own and see if it gets any
ML> kind of response.
I've seen this so much lately, it's pathetic. They have so few human
cashiers at checkout (instead using the self checkout deals). Several
times, I've been at Wal-Mart, having gotten a large supply of groceries,
and was prepared to use the debit card instead of carrying around a ton
of cash.
As luck would have it, their registers crashed, and when the cashier
lamely asked if I had cash, I scolded her, saying "I'm not carrying
around over $200 in cash, and I'm not using the UScan lanes. So you can
take everything in this cart, and put it back". As I was walking out, I
shouted to incoming shoppers "Turn around!! The registers and card readers
have shut down"...and I turned several folks away.
Surely, Sam Walton is not only turning over in his grave, but he's
spinning faster than a category 5 hurricane or an EF-5 tornado.
