The ones by me have way to few tellers and they want you to use the self checkouts. First of all I didn't go shopping to bag my own crap then if you don't bag it fast enough or the way it wants you to it yells at you then you need to wait for the chicks flapping their gums about who's dating who at walmart to come over and type in a code just to have it lock up again 2 minutes later. My fist almost went right through the touch screen

Dude my absolute biggest peeve about any store like that is going in, waiting in the described lines, and getting behind the lady who is writing a check. Not just writing one but the lady who has been in line for 6 hours, gets her $1400 of crap rang up, and THEN starts digging in her feed sack for the check book. WTF lady!?! If you know you'll be writing a check then at least get it out and if you wanna be real scientific about it you could even write the date and store name on it too but that may be pushing it. That drives me f n bananas.

i dont know about up there, but our wal-mart sells beer. only one line is allowed to check out beer because the cashiers have to be "certified" to sell it. dont even try it on the self checkout

When anyone goes for a check book it drives me nuts!!! It's almost 2011! Get a damn credit or bank card...... Even cash is better! (as long as they don't dig around in that bottomless pit for a penny, that's almost as bad as a check)

Here's a little hint to keep your blood pressure down and live longer. If the lines are that long with only a couple of tellers open, just set your stuff down and leave, or better yet, start shopping somewhere else.

But since we're complaining, I refuse to use the self check out things. I don't mind waiting in line a few minutes. I've been in line a few times and had someone tell me the self check out is open. I just politely tell them I don't use those. I've had a couple say they would check me out in the self check out lanes. They scanned the items and then left me to deal with that machine screaming at me about selecting payment type and whatever else it was complaining about. I just left the stuff in the bag and walked out.

And now that you've got me started, lets talk about when you try and hand your card to the cashier and you just get that look and they point to the little machine you swipe the card yourself? So I swipe the card, put it back in my wallet and put the wallet back in my pocket and get ready to sign the screen when it's ready and what do they say then?

"Can I see your credit card?" I give them my own look and tell them all the same thing. Why didn't you take it when I tried to hand it to you? What's the purpose of me swiping my own card if I have to give it to you anyway? I'm always polite about it, but it pisses me off. None of them have an answer. They just say the computer tells them when to ask to see a card. Just a bunch of mindless minions in front of their little screen. Perhaps George Orwell was on to something.

Haha Chris the funny thing is one time I bought a new cell phone and got one of those 100$ rebate cards back but it was under my dads name so I hand it to the cashier and she says I need to sign it so I do and then she still looks at the signature and says do you have another card I can compare it to I almost burst out laughing of course its my sig you just watched me sign it! So I give her another card and of course they match and the whole time she never checked the name on the front to the sig on the back and didn't notice they were completely different lol how's that for fraud protection
