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 4 weeks 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?

If it was up to me, they wouldn't be forced to stand all shift or be underpaid, but since I'm not in charge of shit I can't change their company's policies.

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.

Which makes it even worse

I actually prefer being able to choose my own produce and meats.

Edit: I definitely get suckered in by the impulse purchasing though.

have fun waiting in line i guess? while i zip through the self checkout in a fraction of the time

also, do you live in jersey? if not, then you're pumping your own gas, bless your heart

The lines are usually minimal (1 or 2 people) during the time of day I typically go shopping, and I drive an electric that is charged in my garage.

It's easier to steal shit. So pay yourself with a nice cheap can of Pinot Gris.

If you see someone steal food, no you didn't.

Then pay for delivery and get it right to your door…

Cashiers and baggers are underpayed and forced to stand, if you want someone to chat to, you should pay extra. But you don’t want to pay more for groceries to pay people a living wage, the solution is to pay for delivery, sorry that still removes the ability to chat, but they aren’t obligated to, they only need to scan your groceries. Why do you think they need to do more?

These people being forced to stand all day in the USA is pure insanity looking from the outside.

Yup. There's no reason they couldn't have a stool.

I don't think, nor did I say, they needed to do more. I'm also not particularly fond of small talk, so I dont typically chat with them. They're paid to do a job, so why would I offer to do that job for free?
