Anything that I can buy myself in a store. I am so. frigging. tired. of tripping over personal shoppers with monster carts. How hard can it be to let the overnight shift fill those orders?
I fucking hate that so much. You can't walk through Walmart without 10 employees dragging around and blocking the aisles with those giant carts shopping for people who are too fucking lazy to shop for themselves, half of them under the guise of muh COVID. Fucking over it.
Lol, you're getting salty at the people ordering pickup because you're being inconvenienced by the way the store handles it?
Yeah, blame the people, not the corporation. Good little consumer.
I am mad at the corporation, what the hell do you think caused this to happen? Fucking employees HAVE to shop for lazy people. Both these lazy people and the companies are shit.
Those carts are just as big as regular shopping carts. Just a bit taller. It isn't that big of a deal lul. Also for every big shopper cart there isn't 5 or more regular carts filling up the store and blocking lanes. Really it's convenient. What peeves me is the resrockers blocking so much area with their pallets but I know they also restock overnight so it's unavoidable if you wanna get product that just sold out.
Where I'm at those carts are huge. Takes way way more space than necessary and it's something I don't like.
The store shoppers are usually gathering orders for multiple people. If they weren't there, 3 other "average size Americans" would be in your way.
You know who doesn't get inconvenienced? Me as I sit in my car listening to the radio while someone loads my groceries for an extra 5 fucking dollars. My entire bi-monthly shopping trip takes 15-20 minutes vs. an hour or more inside the store (and also having to deal with the people inside). Money well spent.
Fuck off ableist, sincerely, one of millions who are unable to physically go to the shop and rely on delivery to survive.
Then you're not too lazy to shop for yourself. How could you possibly construe that that way. I'm very clearly not talking about you. But make it about yourself You're all butt hurt because I have an opinion.
You do not have the ability to determine whether or not the person getting their groceries shopped for by someone else is "lazy" or disabled. It makes you angry because you think you are accurately perceiving laziness, but you are just making a guy up to get angry at.
Just think that each one of those carts is at least one fewer person in line for checkout.
And then there would be enough employees to actually station the checkout lane so we don't have to stand there and wait for someone with 400 bucks of groceries trying to scan and bag it.
No there wouldn't. The pickers only exist because of the pickup/delivery service. If that goes away, those people get fired.
Walmart doesn't short staff it's registers on accident.
Then stop shopping there.
