Ever have this situation happen to you? Your standing in line, and there's that one person who is holding up the line for whatever reason. Either they want a rain check on something, or they are trying to exchange something, or my personal favorite, they look at there receipt and decide to question the price of every item on the list because they feel like they've been over charged. I had this happen to me once at pathmark. This lady was overcharged for orange juice that was supposed to be on sale. The sale had ended, but they forgot to take the sign down. For their mistake they gave her the juice on sale. They re-rung her up, and it ended up saving her a whole $1.50!!! I had to wait in line for that bullsh1T!! a dollar.
But yesterday I went to Radio Shack to buy a battery for the remote on to my car alarm. right? WRONG! There were 4 of us in the store, and 2 sales people. The lady online was returning her cell phone. The other sale girl told me she would be with me shortly. She was workin on something for another customer in the store. I didn't mind cause all I needed was one little item. An elder man stood behind me to buy a Tv remote control. After 10 minutes, the cell phone lady is still online, and the other girl calls the older man to ring him up. I never new that the person behind you gets service before you. I let it slide since he was a senior citizen, and there was a card board display on the register, so I just figured the girl didn't see me, she was pretty short.
The eldr man pays for his item, and I walk over and the girl goes back to what she was doing on the computer. Now I'm frustrated, but not pissed off yet. The other sales girl attending to the cell phone lady says to me very nicely " I see you honey, I'll be right with you" Problem solved right? WRONG AGIAN!! The cell phone lady finaly moves her a$$, and as I step up to the register, the girl answers the store phone and starts talking to a customer. It took me about 15-20 min to buy a stinking battery. Does this happen to you. You finaly get to the front of the line only to have the sales person walk off and attend to aomething else!! I have very little patience, especially when I only have 1 or 2 items in my hand!!

I also hate waiting in lines. When the customers outnumber the sales people then there are normally lines. Most of the time, I do not mind waiting, but it seems that you only have to wait on the days when you have other things to get done or other places to be. I also have had people in front of me arguing over 25 cents. Really, just give it up, it is not that important that you should hold up the line for 10-15 minutes just to get a quarter. I think that if I were in your situation, I would have walked out of the store. I think that reflects poorly on the customer service in that store and I would have taken my business elsewhere.
I guess during the holiday season, lines are almost inevitable, but that does not mean that I have to like them lol.

That's what pissed me off at pathmark that time. The ladies bill came out to $50. After she got rung up again it came out to $48.50. Talk about unecessary. The thing that pissed me off about radio shack is that thert were only 4 of us in the store. And you're right, it does seem like you always get stuck when you have other things to do, or you're just in a hurry.

Yeah...it happened that such way sometimes and I admitted that I'm on my bad day. Make more worse, I'm off from that line make moved to newly open counter and at that particular time her cashier's register downed and cannot be operated.....she just say "SORRY, SIR!!! KINDLY GO TO NEXT COUNTER". Aarrgghh...really made my forehead sweating for no good reason...LOL!!!. What else to do?. Keep on with my fake smiles just nice to look as quite macho, to join another line???...perrgghh!!! looks like a mile distance(pack line), have to and no choice must look for another additional stuffs in that walmart to waste time while waiting for second chance. A real bad day for me.
