Frazzled checkers at Wal Mart
I rarely shop there , but the bigger stores are 24 hr locally. 2 items 5-$6 each , checker puts both in the bag , only rung up the $5 food item (the other was spray paint) . Total way too low ??
I insisted on paying or leave the item.
( turns out , the register " kicked the paint off , requires age verification, over 18" as she said) The checker, an older worker, was so frazzled, and looked like she was about to drop dead from overwork, she was just going to give it to me and not charge .
I wonder how much loss is due to low paid , overworked employees, rather than presumed shoplifting. WM makes plenty of money, so I guess this kind of loss is not even a speck of dust on the mountain. Unless a lot of " Dust" leaves the place free
