I work at a walmart where this artical is largely true: WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGHT STAFF. -JS
A lot of that is not necessarily Wal-mart’s fault. I can speak from experience when I say that kids often don’t want to work at all.
I have seen the same thing. Not only not enough staff but poorly trained staff.
For example, all food stores and Home Depot have automated checkers here but Walmarts had to shuts theirs down because they couldnt even get staff to watch them for shoplifting.
You could tell problems before that because when a machine was hung up (happened all the time) no one came to clear the problem and the sheep would just wait there on line for old age to take them.(HA-HA, the blinking red light says 'please wait, help is on the way', Marylanders are sheep)
One time I was looking for something and the Walmart employee points up to the product on a shelf 16 feet high and walks away.
But it attracts a customer base who doesn't care how bad service is, they just want low prices and don't care if they wait 10 -20 min to reach checkout on line. I sure dont want them as neighbors though.
