Walmart

The few around me hardly ever have more than a few lanes open no matter how busy they are.

I think it's all of them.  At least all I've been in have been like that.  The cashiers for the most part are usually rude and slow as well.  shame that there's not really anywhere as cheap to go to anymore.

I will agree with the slow.  Not so much on the rude.  It seems every one complains about ALL cashiers being rude every where.  I have been a cashier before and people are stupid and if you do not just totally lick their butt they say you are rude.  Most cashier jobs pay pretty low and people are hateful and mean to them.  After a while it grates on your nerves.  And don't say "get another job".  Jobs are not that easy to find right now.  Just saying.  Most of the cashiers I have delt with have been pretty nice over all.  The cashier in this situation was really nice.  When I complained to corporate I made sure to tell them that.  She is doing the best she can and she is being nice to every one even though people are yelling at her because of the long lines esp since we were in an express lane.  But there was nothing else open.

I think the majority of Walmart's do this. I do not understand why they have so many check out lanes and never use them. It drives me even more crazy during the holidays because they know it is going to be busy.

I never have this problem at Walmart.

Yeah it's usually that way, unless you're heading to the self checkout that's the experience you'll get.

That's why My family don't even bother going there anymore. Not only that they have someone working the cashiers who don't know how to ring up discount items or there was a flaw in the register you will take forever to wait for the manager to come clear it.

Yes I too hate Wal Marts.....I like did like going to Winn Dixie when they had four self check lanes but they took them out.

      Walmart is just like any other business. Walmart is in business for a "profit". To keep overhead expenses low (and avoiding store closures), they have open self-checking stands. Walmart has already closed some stores because of budget problems. I have the same problem with the shortage of cashiers. To avoid this problem: Shop early in the morning or late at night...not during rush hours when it is very crowded. Walmart still has the best prices in town...at least in my town.

Weekends always get so packed its so annoying when there's drama going down in front of you .

Our local walmart is the same!  40 registers and only 2 open!   I think it must be a Walmart rule or something!

They do a good job where I live!

Yes there are like 3 or 4 around my area and they are all the same.  Also the grocery stores are the same way, the one by my house in the mornings have NO cashiers all are the self checkouts, and if you go late on the evening only 1 or 2 cashiers for 50 customers, they want us to use the self check out and I really hate those

[paints]

I won't shop at Walmart, for any reason. 

Those low prices cost more than you might think.

As for the self-checkouts, every time I'm tempted to use one, I think of the two human beings who were replaced by them.

I can wait for a live person, or I can do without.

Yeah that's the same way over here too. They got another Walmart built back in July that's, surprisingly, a little better than the one that's closer to us. It doesn't seem as packed and check out is a little smoother. At least Walmart has the self checkout which helps to speed things up.

That happens in my store as well but I don't go much on a weekend .. I like the self checkout line .. then I can pack my stuff the way I like it.  Faster and easier
