I hate lines in stores. I can't count the number of times I have left a cart full of groceries just sitting there as I walked out of the store because the check out line was too long.
No offense meant but PLEASE stay far away from my store. Y'know why lines are usually long at my workplace (when they are...it's pretty rare)? Scheduling goofs. That or we're understaffed (which we usually are). If a customer has to wait in line here, it's because it's a bad time of day (just how many people do you expect our store to be allowed to schedule at the same time? Ever heard of hour budgeting?), because our office person has fudged up and had to catch up on everyone's breaks, or because we've lost some people and haven't found anyone else to do it.
And as far as the leaving $hit on the shelves comment, that's definitely not cool and is the same as shoplifting. If you destroy a product and don't reimburse the store or if you pick something up and walk out without paying, you're ripping that store off. End of story. Leaving a temperature sensitive item out in the middle of a non-cooled area is destroying that product and, if someone were dumb enough to pick it up and buy it, endangering that individual. Now, if you've only ever left temperature-indifferent items out, that's fine. I don't care about that...however, when I come in at 7AM and don't get a break 'til 1PM and walk out of my register to find a tub of icecream melted all over the candy display, that's not freaking cool...
OP, I'm with ya. I hate customers. Seems that as soon as people see an establishment in which the employees are uniformed (or underpaid, though I do NOT see the relevance my payscale has to the freaking general respect you give me), they go wild/retarded. No respect for items that aren't theirs until checkout, nor for the people who, believe it or not, bust their butts for that darn-near minimum wage they're getting paid. GRRR
