Although the store had 8 registers, only 2 were open and there were about 8 people in each line; each, of course, with carts full of discounted merchandise. I stood in line for about 4 minutes and found that I was getting more and more anxious. I finally couldn't stand it any longer (the lines weren't getting any shorter). I went to put the sheets away. My friend noticed that a new line was opening up but my mind was made up. How dare they have a store full of customers and not have more registers open?! I could not support a company that would do such a terrible thing.
That's when I realized something: That is exactly why I despise Wal-mart. Several people don't like the concrete walls or the distance you have to walk from one part of the store to another. None of those things bother me. I really don't mind walking 5 miles between housewares and milk. I truly couldn't care less about the walls (if they are really built out of concrete - which I doubt). But, I absolutely detest the lines at Big W. I see they have a million registers. Can't they open a few more? Are they that short on "associates"? I know I've seen some of their people standing around doing nothing. Surely one of them could be spared from THAT toiling labor to help expedite the purchasing process.
I feel better now.
I totally agree. Here in spain however, they take it to the next level. They dont even have bag boys. they have the lady whos checking your grocieres out also bag. Humh. And they call themselfs a sofisticated society!
ReplyDeletenice blogspot, sarah. i wanna try out that recipe. it looks like a good one. by the way, you mentioned something about springhaven lodge in your email. i'm actually thinking that you can rent it to families. the problem is, it would be terribly expensive, and not only that, you would have your name on the waiting list for about 1-2yrs. before even having a chance of having a party there. at least that's what i've heard.
