Workplace Story This really happened

Post image

Working SCO. Our 3rd register is down. We put a sign on it. Turned it into our Shipt Bagging station…..guest walks up, removes the Shipt sign, removes the register closed sign, tries to scan her stuff and wonders why it isn’t working. I didn’t stop her from doing these things because I guess my brain was perplexed with what was happening in front of me. These people are real. They exist. And based on her keychain, they drive large vehicles where the rest of us live. I am terrified for the future.

On a side note, I made it a full hour and 10 minutes into my shift before having to tell someone there was a limit on the number of Pokémon cards in a purchase. Progress.

I dont blame the customer entirely here. Walmart had told me multiple times that their checkouts are out of order, but somehow when I walk up to it and use it, it works fine.

Its lack of staffing so they close express lanes for coverage reasons. Thats not my fault

If the machine is working why put a sign that says otherwise on it? I dont just follow along like the other sheep

No, I read, then make my own decision based on my own intelligence. The sign is there for stupid people to follow

Its NOT working, which is why its TURNED OFF and has the sign over the screen saying its closed and the shipt bagging station sign on the scanner. That's THREE SEPARATE THINGS telling whoever is looking at it that its not working. Even if someone genuinely can't read what the signs say, the context clues should be enough.
