what I like is the fact that they have 20+ checkout lines and only 4 will be open.Especially when those 4 lines will have at least 15 people each.
So they started off selling everything but groceries which was fine. Most of the time you probably wouldn't leave the store with more than ten to twenty items.
Fast forward however many years and they decide to make Super Walmart or whatever the they call them, and now people are easily buying 50 items or more. Just today I bought about 25 items and I don't even buy all of my groceries at Walmart, I buy most of them at HEB and only get a few things that HEB doesn't have at Walmart.
Problem is their whole setup is for people that don't buy much, add your typical fat ass Walmart customer and you easily have people in line buying 100 items or more when shopping for groceries.
Add to that no baggers and you'd better pitch a ing tent or take a nap because you're going to be in line for a while.
So why doesn't Walmart have baggers, besides the fact that they are cheap ers? WTF?

^this guy got the real issue
opening more than 6 of the 40 lanes they have is the problem, no matter what time of day, or holiday season, weekend or wednesday, they never open more than 20% of the lanes
and the self checkout is a different thread, cheap ass, neocon cashless society option
target does the same .
Baggers are you kidding me? It's only a matter of time Wal Mart has 100 percent self checkout machines so they don't have to pay cashiers!
walmart's only weakness is lines. If they had no lines/fast lines....people would not shop anywhere else.
I try to give HEB my business rather than walmart when ever possible.
HEB aint a whole lot better, even with baggers.
Target is the nicest place to shop. Too bad they seem to be 10%+ higher on everything.
not really saying they better. It's just they local and if HEB went out of business walmart would have even less comp. That's is just what walmart wants...to fulfill it's even plan.
Because Wal-Mart's company policy is to be understaffed at all times.
And all but one of the self-checkout are closed usually.
that's cause its easy as to steal while using the self checkout
That hasn't been my experience at either of the Targets near me. The one at Great Hills easily the quickest checkouts compared to Wal-Mart and HEB. Only Randall's might be quicker since everyone is waiting in line at the HEB across the street.
Target has no baggers.
They often have 2-3 of 20+ registers open.
Its usually Code Red time (I think thats what its still called)
i went to HEB on new years eve and the ALL the lines were at least 20 deep (even self check out)! i would say at least 80% of the cashiers were open.
i thought it was the end of the world with all these fat people and their goodies!
i saw one lady with 3 gallons of milk!
i just need to buy beer and it took me 20 minutes of waiting in line......
sorry read the thread and brought back bad memories
I can't imagine what the shrinkage would be if they went to 100% self check. It'd be a massive loss.
fat people at HEB!, did you call the express news?
I always thought Celebrities never have to wait in line?
It worked in New Orleans!
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really get what y'all are ing about. If you go to a store right before a holiday, it's going to be packed because people, regardless of their weight, are 1) getting ready to host parties and 2) stocking up their pantries so they can chill out over their holiday weekends and not have to go back to the store. And this is in addition to the normal grocery trip, which for my family of 4, includes 4 gallons of milk a week.i went to HEB on new years eve and the ALL the lines were at least 20 deep (even self check out)! i would say at least 80% of the cashiers were open.

If all you need is beer why would you go to Wal-Mart and then about the lines on New Year's Eve? Why not go to 7-11 or a liquor store?
When I was a bit younger and catching shoplifters at walmart while I was on school I loved the self checkout machines. It was my quota maker, I'd just off for 90% of the shift then watch the self checkouts cameras from my office and pick the thieves off at the door. So easy.
I love HEB terminology. My favorite is how they call everyone "partners" when they are the furthest thing from it.
As far as the 100% self check, how much do you think the average loss per hour would be versus the $7-8+ per hour they pay cashiers?
sorry if bringing up fat people hurt your feelings! am ing because people like to wait to the last minute to do ALL of their shopping! its like you dont know your going to run out of milk, until it is gone. i am waiting in the 10 item or less line and i have to wait behind a fat lady buying with a lone star card and cash.then its like she doesnt function unless the cashier tells her something. (um your balance is $20....oh i need to dig through my purse to find some cash)its like you all never been to a store before and dont know what to do when you get to the cashier!
but i was mainly about the long lines
I was never sure but I figured there was some sort of security like that....
I wasn't talking about holiday shopping, this was last night, January 3rd.
Paid overseas employees?
