People at the cash registers

[mhall]

I can't speak for wal-mart but that is almost always the case with them and has been for years. At this point everyone should know the deal with them and expect a long line there. That's the main reason I don't shop there and will not in the future. Time is important to me, and saving a few bucks is not. For others saving the extra money is definitely a higher priority. 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.

Just noticing a trend is all and I hope I didn't come off as you were calling me out as I did not intend that. You have always been a solid level headed poster on this site. Besides anybody that can put up with all day wades with Billy has to be alright...kiddin of course Shadrap....

My wife says I need to calm down and be more patient sometimes and since she is always right I guess I should heed her words....

The trend is definitely there. I'm just afraid it is unreversable. If the explosion of online shopping couldnt reverse it I can't really think of what will. Going out to eat is the same way. There's times when I wanna just get something quick and get out and then when it doesn't go that way I really have to tell myself to chill. Sometimes it doesnt work and I'm wound tighter than di ck s hatband. With all these people constantly out and about it really makes me wonder if this so called recession is not just make believe.

I miss billy. And Ron, Jeff, Q, glenn, mando, vince, et al. and all the late evening shenanigans that were rodeos at stillwaters. Life intervenes though, and we all get busy carving out our own paths.
