At my particular place of employment I constantly hear "all cashiers to checkout", they go, and the lines are still long at times. The ratio of helpers to shoppers is just too slanted to the side of shoppers. It's just the way it is. I imagine if people took a stand and quit frequenting places that constantly have long waits corporate would get the message once sales started dropping - but that is probably a pipe dream.

And I hope you realize that I would not direct anything but some Louisville trash talk towards you mark I've seen you on the boards enough to get a good idea of what you're about.

I've had too many consecutive long waits at various places to expect anything less. It's why I shop online or just not shop all together. Any time I get out in less than 5 minutes I do a little dance on the way out.
We want the lowest prices possible.....I will wait in line and buy a 11 dollar shirt versus a 75 dollar shirt.

That is what it would cost with a 15 dollar living wage, and if it was made in America and if they STAFFED the checkout lines.

Simple economics.

Now, I'm not saying places like wally world would not staff effectively if sales started to be impacted. If they lost 20% of their revenue due to poor customer service, they "might" do something about it, but I doubt it.
