Someone needs to write "Ok, Boomer" on this notice.

I agree with the boomers on this one. I'm not in the habit of providing free labor to a corporation I don't even work for.

[-] ZeroTwo@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

I agree! I was at a Walmart one time and some chick ran out right by us at a high speed. We had no idea what was going on but apparently she was stealing. The one worker said as they walked by us "you got all these people standing around doing nothing and they couldn't stop her?" It was a smart ass comment. Did that employee really believe that I would risk my life for Walmart, of all places? I don't work there, I'm not security, I'm not a police officer. Not my problem.

Do you also demand to have underpaid workers standing all day to bag your groceries?

Boy, you're not gonna be happy when you learn how food stores used to work. They've been offloading things labor used to do onto the customers for a century.

But also, fuck off walmart

[-] AuntieFreeze@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Boomer uncle literally drives his electric bill payment to the local office to pay it when they have a perfectly fine online portal.

Same exact response 'that's someone's job' like the employee actually has a say.

[-] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

There's no justification from a pure convenience standpoint, but I could respect the pettiness if the electric company ran their shit like one local government office in my hometown, where there was this small annual fee they charged like $9 for...but then to pay it, you could either mail in a check, hand deliver cash or check or card...or pay online...where they added a $5 "convenience fee" to a sub-$10 payment.

You bet your ass that I paid that shit in person every year, in loose change, and requested a receipt (which they had to write up manually because they didn't have a system to process and print one).

I live by this philosophy

If you charge me more to make both our lives easier, I will make both our lives harder out of spite.

It will cost you more than the fee you tried to squeeze out of me, and I will have spent nothing.

I feel like most memos in Walmart break rooms are this kind of fodder for shitposting material

I don't get it. Why would you ask a customer if they want to use the self checkout lane?

Reading the comments, do people not like self checkout? Is it another one of these American things, that baffle the rest of the world? Like grocery baggers. I'm European, living in Poland and Denmark and if given the choice, I will always pick the store with self checkout. It's simply faster. Only old people don't use self check out, not because of boomer ideology, but because they need the cashier's help.

I'd rather check myself out than deal with other idiots. It's a win for my sanity.

[-] histic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

I don’t understand the hate for self checkout it’s faster and easier

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

It depends on the store. There are places where the self checkout lanes are dysfunctional and end up requiring waiting for a checkout worker (who are usually understaffed) to come and scan a code to fix it.

I personally prefer to use the self-checkout lane because I want my groceries bagged in a specific way (raw meat in one bag, cans/bottles in another, etc.). It's infuriating when I line up my groceries in order on the conveyor and the bagger just stuffs them in the bags randomly anyway.

Screw Walmart. During the storms here in NC, I went there to buy some relief supplies, and it was awesome to see the whole store getting picked apart by people buying supplies to donate. What was definitely not awesome was the only 3 checkout lanes open out of the total 12, because Walmart has a 3 per employee rule and they don't want to assign enough workers for the checkout lanes, even during times of crisis like this.

I enjoy turning this one around. "Oh, you're one of those socialists who wants everybody else to do your work for you, too lazy to lift your own groceries. Nobody wants to work anymore!"

[-] vardogor@mander.xyz 15 points 1 week ago

i'm sure you use that zinger all the time

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I didn't know there were places that even asked that.
