I fucking hate your store. I hate your miles and miles of grocery aisles, I hate how fucking crowded you are, I hate that you never have my Lemonade in stock, and I despise with a glowing red hot fiery throbbing passion how many goddamn ‘‘self check out’’ lanes you have. I watch your cashiers, who once had baggers of their very own, both ring up and bag their items. You not only cut jobs to free up space for you goddamn ‘‘self check out’’ lanes, you cut fucking jobs so that there are never any free lanes available. I hate waiting 20 goddamn minutes in a fucking grocery store line surrounded by empty, closed lanes, watching some poor overworked lady both ring up and bag groceries at the same time. And it pisses me the fuck off you don’t have attendants at your clothing try-on section, either.
It’s like some blowhard asshole with a clipboard walked around the whole store figuring out jobs that could be eliminated. And for every fucking job you eliminate, you add another inconvenience to the shopper. I don’t WANT to fucking check out my own goddamn groceries. It’s NOT my goddamn job. That should be someone else’s job, and they should be getting paid to do it.
I will be happy if I never set foot in your cheap-ass store again. You have desecrated my childhood memories of what Meijers used to be.
Where the fuck can I buy some Diet Lemonade Iced Tea? I think I hated Snapple until I had some of that goodness that is Lemonade Tea. I also notice that I can only buy it in a 12 bottle variety pack. How many of the flavor I’m looking for are in it, you ask? Fucking two. That makes no sense. Maybe it does, but I’m not happy about it.
Also, if this is Snapple’s fault, I’m still angry at both parties…
Walmart drives me crazy with the way they put their movies up but the one thing that gets me the most is they will put out unrated movies but yet they censor the cds.
Nice! I can watch all the fucking and tits and ass with all the swearing and gut ripping violence but you just can’t bring yourself to sell cds with swearing in the lyrics. You are a family store and looking out for our best interests.
I’m trying to figure out how being able to hear such things is so much worse than being able to see these things.
And to the store I am holding a part-time job in…please stop changing the store around.
It makes me batty to have to pull things from one shelf and move them clear across the store damn near every week.
It makes it harder for me to help people find things when myself and other employees are constantly shuffling crap around. I feel like an idiot who doesn’t know where things are in her own store.
It also sucks when a few times a day I get regulars who complain they can’t find things that were just in one spot last week and have been relocated. Moving things around to make the store look fresh isn’t helping your business.
Can I bitch about McDonald’s here also? Because I don’t eat there often, but I am pretty fed up with their double lines. Checkers makes it work by having two different windows one on each side of the building. You on the other hand have two menu boards and have people merge into one line.
This is clearly hard for some people to grasp. It’s hard for grown-ups to take turns sometimes. I have actually seen two soccer moms get into a screaming match from their vans about who was supposed to be in line first and both of them left without even getting their orders and messing up the flow even further.
I agree with you on the need for minimum sparkles and Tigger decals. Still, it seems like it would be easier for you to find good quality professional clothing in smaller sizes, be it at a classier store like J. Jill or Ann Taylor, or at a younger store like Wet Seal. Or to simply cut down a larger size.
I, on the other hand, am sick of being told that I can only wear drag queen shoes if I want to be in heels.
I guess either end of the bell curve drags in the shit just as much as the other.
There are peak times as well as slow times in your store. Why must you schedule only two employees with open registers when the rush is on? I’ve seen four or five employees during quiet times and I’m sure they enjoy keeping each other company and discussing their lives, but the public would be better served if more employees were available to actually serve the public.
RiteAid,
You took over Eckerd Drugs a couple of months ago and the list of missing items and half empty shelves has forced me to shop at Walgreens. It was convenient for me to shop just a couple of blocks away from home, but I’ve been told that certain items are “on order” too many times. You really wrecked a pretty good store.
But that’s a standard tape measure length if you want more than 36". I treated myself to one for sewing after getting tired of having only the short one.
(continuing the hijack) I could. My dad actually recently had a contract with the corporate office of the store that does…some petite-size store. But those stores, and getting things altered, are still slightly outside my pitiful student budget.
I know it could be worse, and I make do, but I do enjoy occasionally whining about it.
Don’t tell me that you “just ran out” of the dog toy I’m looking for, that it’s on order and will be coming in Thursday, when it’s painfully obvious that nobody has touched that particular rack for at least a month, judging by the thickness of the dust on everything.
And come to think of it, how about you clean out your animal cages? I came this close to reporting you to Animal Control for abuse, judging by the nasty smell that hit me the second I walked in the door. I’ll say this much for the big chain stores: At least they make an attempt to keep the place clean. But your little store? Is really, really nasty. Oh, and thanks so much for helping to keep the puppy mills in business.
Most of my tape measures are 60 inch models, but that’s not actually large enough for my hips, and the next size up from that is the 120 inch ones, so I have one of those, as well. I think the basic assumption is that if 60 inches isn’t enough, you must be measuring a couch.
I have two that are 60".
