Letter to the Editor #23 (Walmart Cashier Edition)
(Written in response to How to Spot an Idiot who Walmart’s Self-Check Lanes.)
Greetings from a Walmart Supercenter cashier…
Many customers who used the self-checkouts prior to the remodel of our store often required the most hand holding. i.e. They were inept when it came to operating the register, slowed down the lines and caused problems for other customers and employees.
Why were the self checkouts removed from many Wal-Mart stores? – Due to a high level of theft.
As a cashier – the following issues are worthy of mention:
• To those of you from India – please do not bring an item to the check out you have no intent of purchasing only to ask for a price check or simply to say I don’t want this.
• To the wanna be rich person – Get off your cell phone when you are in line and stop telling your friend on the phone you just left Tar-shay (Target). Are you shopping at Wal-Martay too? What a bottom feeder.
• The light above the register really has a purpose other than to look pretty. When the light is on – the lane is open to serve you. When the cashier is closing down his/her line the light will be turned off… This is not an invitation for you to stand in line behind the last person who was rightfully in line before the light was extinguished. Maybe this will make some sense to you… A green light gives you the right-of-way but when you are about half way through an intersection someone who does not stop for a red light slams into your car….. It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!!! – Just imagine, most of us learned about traffic lights in Kindergarten. Oh I am sorry – you were absent that day – and have been absent for most of your life to afford others common courtesy.
If your store isn’t like mine, perhaps you are shopping at a Wal-Mart “in the hood…”
Thanks for your business – Employees really appreciate the contribution your tax dollars make towards public assistance programs.
Signed,
Wal-Mart Employee

Dear Wal-Mart Employee,
I once saw a dead fish floating in a tank in the pets department.
Thanks for Writing In,

I have a deep, dark secret, that I have never shared with others……..I am related to a Wal-Mart employee. That was so difficult to share, but I feel as though a heavy weight has been lifted.
I was in Walmart once and this man was buying a case of beer, so the cashier had to call her supervisor over to run it across the scanner, because she wasn’t 21. Why couldn’t the guy buying the beer shove it over 4 inches? If they can have self checkout, can’t he “self push”?
Does that stand for Government sliced cheese?
1. How old are you?

3. do you have any children?
