This is a great self-explanatory lesson in how corporations can manufacture consent and how to spot it.
I don’t even bother going in person anymore to most stores due to everything being locked up and one employee who can never be found to open shit.
It also just rubs me wrong. Why would I want to do business with your store if it treats me like in thief. Especially those “you are bring recorded!!!” monitors.
I go specifically for this reason lol. I go to the men’s shaving aisle and request a person. Grab some crap.i don’t need. Then cruise the store and go end up in the cold med aisle and request help. Same thing. Repeat 3-4 times depending how long the pharmacy wait is. At the end I pick up my pharmacy stuff and leave them with a handful of random items they have to put back
As a formal retail worker, fuck you. The workers have nothing to do with this crap and they hate it more than you could even know.
I wonder how much is due to self checkout.
Or having a single employee manage an entire store. This is entirely the fault of these stores and their lack of investment in their own employees.
I honestly hope this don’t make them disappear, for one good thing they did. Yeah I understand people wanting another option as well but I love the self checkout thing, specially when buying low quantities.
Next you will tell me that some of the price increases are not caused by inflation, yeah sure old man… Stop saying stupid things /s
