an issue i finally agree on with the left but for totally different reasons. i hate those dividers but only because they make people weak, they use them to “defend their turf” when they could just be vigilant and keep an eye on their own stuff rather than depending on a stick to defend their noodles and canned peaches
I was in my local K-Mart a few weeks ago, and I had roughly about $20.00 worth of merchandise. The man in back of me had a $110.00 tool chest that he had on a flatbed roller waiting his turn. It wasn’t up on the pulley. When I looked at my final receipt, the cashier had rung up his tool chest with my meager purchases. She said she just assumed he was with me. I was more than a little ticked. I had to go to customer service to have it removed from my credit card, but it took the credit card company nearly a week to remove the charge.
The moral of this story is you have to watch as your purchases are being rung up. Gosh only knows what the cashier is thinking.
The liners help the clerks separate purchases. It’s not about protecting our “turf”. If you’ve purchased groceries without them frequently items from another order will be rung up with yours and they’ll have to go back and remove them...that is if anyone notices what has happened until they get home.
Well, IC, you are in luck. Melody and Henrietta are picketing today at the Marina Safeway in San Francisco. I hope you can join them.
Those dividers are for the checker not the consumer
