I now have a habit of giving as firm NO to anyone who seems like a staff member trying to ‘help’ me at checkout or those kiosks in the bulk type stores.
One of these days I’m going to do that out of habit when I do want help and will feel like an ass. Worth the risk though.
The only time I need actual help is when an item is kept behind lock and key. Otherwise, even when I do need help they’re not very helpful and unable to provide any information that’s not easily accessible from their web site.
Sir, can I see your receipt before you leave. Our corporation thinks you’re a dirtybfucking thief and we can’t be bothered to prove it or look at our own damn receipts so give us yours while we detain you - companies that don’t give two shits
What annoys me at Walmart and Target is how the employees are ordered to chat you up in the most phony tone possible as an obvious anti-theft measure.
The one thing self checkouts have going for them is that I don’t have to talk to a person, and they’ve taken even that from me.
“Have you heard about our five-star service?” Look, five-star service at Walmart is when no one talks to me.
“oh my that’s a lot of soda you have there, do you need help scanning it all?”
“No, I was planning to steal it. Can you help me with that?”
