If I could give 0 or negative stars, this would be more accurate. It has NEVER been fun to shop here, but I've done it because it's convenient. Well, today - I'm sorry - but I'm done. I spent about 45 minutes doing my shopping and then went to check out. Now, I know the lines will be long, and that there won't be any clerks working the checkouts, and half the self-checkouts will be closed. I get it. They can't keep employees, or employees don't show up, or WHATever! I was prepared to wait. I went to self checkout, got in line. Now - NOWHERE in this checkout line is it posted that there is an item limit. So I waited in line, and then when it was my turn, I started checking out my order. I was approximately half way through my order when an employee (who had been assisting people in the next section over) walked into the section I was in and loudly announced that there was a 15 item limit.
Now - I had not counted my items, because there was NO posted item limit, BUT I just assumed I had more than 15 items by eyeballing my cart. The employee made her announcement, loudly, and close to me, about 3 times, and I paused checking out and asked her, "Can I just finish my order? I'm like halfway through already?" She actually (!!!!!) told me "NO!" In my head I'm like is this lady for real??? I said to the employee, "But, there's no item limit posted anywhere." She responded, "I've been announcing it all day!" (Uhhhhmm... she hadn't said anything while I was waiting in line.)
I explained that I hadn't heard that announcement ever until I was halfway through checking out, and there was no sign, and could I please just finish checking out my order. She said I needed to stop checking my items out because she was going to have to move me and my order.
At this point I was done. I said, forget it. I'll just leave. I began to remove the items from my reusable shopping bags. The employee told me I should just leave all the stuff in the bagging area, and I held up my reusable bags and said to her, I'm just taking my bags, and she said okay, and so I left.
This Walmart has always been an utter $#!t-show. It's always dirty, never stocked well, there are NEVER enough cashiers or enough open self-checkouts. But I've dealt with it. For over seven years, I've just dealt with it because it's conveniently located. Well, today was just... BEYOND! I am done. OH! And here's the kicker! I got home and looked at my shopping list and recalled everything I had in my cart.... And ya know how many items were in my cart? T.W.E.N.T.Y. TWENTY F*@#!*G items!!!
Wow. Just. WOW. read more
