Random Thoughts

Speaking of Walmart, how is it that even with automated checkout lines, they still only have a handful of lines open? I went there for a couple things yesterday and half of the self-checkouts were closed. I don't get how Walmart makes the checkout lines so hostile. I avoid shopping there as much as possible purely because of the checkout experience.

My guess is that they can only have so many self check-out lanes open based on how many people are staffed to supervise the area.  Maybe two people are required for them all to be open, but there was only one?

But I thought that was the goal.

Who am I to stand in the way of ambition?

They were getting burned with people stealing and pared down how many they keep open.  Realistically a cashier can't watch an entire bank and catch everything.
