In my store, if the express line is empty they will call you over from where you're standing in the regular line to check you out. Except then of course halfway through the checkout process, someone with 3 items will get in line behind me and give me violently dirty looks for using the express lane when I clearly don't belong there. I want to turn and sheepishly tell them that the checker told me to come over, but I'm always afraid that will just make it worse...

I got yelled at once for being in the "10 items or less" express lane. I had like 15 items and, like Clodfobble, got called over from another line by the clerk. "I'll help you over here, sir".
I'm unloading my stuff onto the conveyor when this snotty bitch comes up behind me and says "that doesn't look like 10 items or less". She caught me in a foul mood after a shitty day at work and not wanting to stop at the store, but the wife insisted. You should have seen her face when I quietly asked her "what are you...you fucking grocery police?". I only said it loud enough her for her and the clerk (who was trying not to laugh hysterically) to hear. My day got a whole lot better after that. :D |
All us Walmarter-after-work people want are these considerations:
1) If you have all day to grocery shop, how about not doing it when people are rushing home trying to end their work day? Or from noon to 1? If you have all day, why go, with 5 rugrats in tow, when the rat racers are just trying to get something for dinner and get home? 2)If you're not buying cigarettes, don't take 423 items into the only lane that walmart allows cigarette sales. In fact, I think people using that line and not buying cigs should have a surcharge attached. (This is Wally World's fault, really, but I've seen 2 giant carts take up a half hour or so of checking out in that lane, not buying smokes, and I have a case of diet coke and a can of cat food and I need cigarettes. I suspect it's part of a Walmart Morality Stance: the harder we make it for you to get your slightly more expensive smokes the more we poo-poo all you heathen smokers.) imho |
I had no idea they make you go in a special line for smokes. Why do they do that?
|
It's Walmart. They know what's best for us. ;)
I haven't yet seen lines for Hostess products and Frito-lay products. Though the checkout lanes might be wider, to compensate. |
Usually it's because the cigarettes are locked up to prevent theft, so you have to go to the lane that's got the big rack of cigarettes above it that the clerk can get out for you.

Hey! I saw about half the nouveau-riche there this weekend. 3 separate factions from the city workers who hit the mega-mill, shopping at the Wally World.
I don't have a problem with that, though if I had an extra mil or two (or actually, they each got 6) lying around I'd probably move on up to the KRoger. What gets me is WHY WOULD YOU STAY IN THIS GODFORSAKEN TOWN? (I'm sorry, was I yelling?) I might visit but I'd be living elsewhere, for sure. One of them hangs out at this bar that I go to maybe once a month or so. He had two shares of the split because he "bought a ticket for his mother" and I heard he bought her a car and kept the rest. And he still hangs at the bars in this sad little town. Besides, if an old woman such as me wants to feel really hawt, she only need hang out at the Walmart for a while. |
OH, and walmart is really only my default because my bank branch is in there and since I can't do an hour and a half round trip on my lunch hour to run important banking errands, and these branches are open until 7...it's just really convenient.

The 'cigs in the stores' issue can be cleared up very easily.
Need a can of cat food and some smokes? Here's an idea: Stop at Minit Mart, instead of the largest, most popular, busiest store in town. :neutral: |
