Interesting Walmart experience today.....

[palmettomoon]

I don't like going to Walmart but it's close by and if I go early (about 6:10 - 6:30 a.m.) the concentration of indigenous personnel is light and those who are stirring from their cribs at this hour are usually decent working types. Anyway, one of the items I scanned prompted that "Approval Required" dialog box to pop up on the scanner. I looked around for the bored, tired, CS drone leaning on the closed register and gave her that "WTF?" look. She waddles over and types in her AUTHORATIE code and I aksed her why a can of boiled peanuts required approval. She said, "You's scannin' too fass, das why it stopped you."

I KNEW IT~! Those mother ****ers WANT you to have a slow miserable experience checking yourself out! Damn it! I told her, "I should get a raise then, an untrained person like myself scanning an order faster than your trained cashiers!" She just grunted and waddled off back to her perch.

A true southerner admits to buying a can of boiled peanuts?... I am a Yankee and I wouldn't stoop that low........

That really is sad ….funny but sad.
These type that work at Wally World are pissed mot of the time because “Dey gots to work” but don’t realize that in many places it’s very hard to find a job and it really isn’t getting better.
They mad because they can’t lay around the crib and collect from the gov …. Most of the time they have done that so long that they have been cut off so they have to get a job and this is the best they can do.
If they ever were in real crap where nobody takes care of them, doesn’t give them anything, and nobody cares…then they would realize what kind of a blessing a job (any job) really is !

3 of 9 Barcode TTFont + a small scale is your friend. Anything you buy that's expensive, find a similar weight item in the store that weighs about the same and then write that UPC/EAN barcode down. Print a label(s) for the next trip and stick them on the packages of the high priced items then scan yourself out. Easy-peasy-Japanesey.

You can also wreak havoc in the store by reversing the act. Pick some items that appeal to a certain segment of society, then print barcode labels for very expensive items and place them over the cheap items' barcodes. Sit back near the registers and watch the drama unfold.
