So I started a mini-revolution in Kmart today...

Uh no, you are both wrong.


The economy isnt crashing because of that. Learn a bit about economics.

Good on you OP.

No Excuse for her behavior, especially cursing at a customer! ... She should be canned!

Kmart is the worst. I feel the life being sucked out of me when I'm there.I am baffled how they are still in bubusiness.

Good for you!

I knew I needed to chill out. I was just annoyed at the time because I had been waiting a half hour in the line for this woman.

So many consumerism related problems would be solved if we could all just walk away, and towards what really counts: like family, relationships, neighbors, elderly, cleaning homes, attics, garages, cars, planning our future, educating ourselves, volunteering where needed,advancing in our career knowledge, physical exercise, home cooking meals and sharing with laughter...Yes,revolution, indeed!

What you do is snort a huge luggy in your throat then spit it in her face. Then you proclaim "it is the mucus that binds us".

Dude, no way. Your so fucked.

Yeah except you are listing all extreme situations for anyone anywhere.

The fact still remains you needed to put your big boy pants on to wait 3-5 more mins to be served.

Wow.

You have to be joking right? If not, consider my mind officially blown. I can't fathom anyone being as dumb as you.

Good for you!

Kmart is the worst. I feel life being sucked out of me when OK m there. I'm baffled how they are still in business. I only go there if I'm too time strapped to hit wallyworld or target.

Power to the people!

I had been there a half hour, I wasn't going to be waiting there five minutes. The scanner was down and she was entering codes in manually and taking her time while talking on the phone. Try a half hour longer. It's not worth waiting in a line a full hour for 3 low cost items. I'm not that much of a sheep yet.

We are definitely headed for sheeeeeetstorm.

That Baltic Dry Index is a leading indicator and has been in a pennant (flag) formation since 2008.
That is HUGE clue as to where the economy is headed.
The formation is almost complete.

good for you!!, and good job not losing it on her I know I would of told her where she can shove that register, you did something much better, you made them lose money!

AWESOME OP

people who shop at kmart are part of the problem.

where did all the people go? What happened to them all ~! ?

Definitely. I go there for the deals, honestly. But if I can find a mom & pop I go there too. The problem is they destroyed all the mom & pops in the area, drove them under, now they're going under.

they can care less, i work in a big box store.

she is getting time and a half shes working by herself. I doubt that she cares.

I sure wouldnt

I donot even know why i shop there, except for the fresh veggies and meat. Dollar General is my favorite.

At that point OP, you should have done more. Seriously. I would and have decided that if their cashier's job is that easy, that they have time to multi-task, I feel it should be multi-tasking at their job.

Enter: "clean up in every aisle I can walk through"

No cashier enjoys picking up 3 boxes of gum poured out on her scanner. I know it's a total dick move, but if I'm going to pay for overpriced sweatshop shit, I'm going to get my moneys worth or a laugh at shaniqu'a expense...

Ha... I should have done that, but I know that would've been the one day I get arrested for black bloc shit.

Did you even read the story?

Long story short, I put down my three items rather than wait 2 hours to get to Shaniqua the nightmare cashier and say loudly "Not worth it!"

Something sounds fishy about this story. OP painting self as hero with exaggerated self gratifying language like "revolution" makes me suspect a narcissist of the highest order. Don't doubt there was a line and probably an employee that didn't now to him or fully recognize the OP's perceived grace in a fashion he would demand. But highly doubt the voracity and the racial name calling stands out. Think there's at best hyperbole here. OP wants to be cooler than he is.

Interesting. I work in telecommunications and many stores are using tablets and smart phones for data and communications and some customers get mad because they think they're texting or using them for personal use. My guess is that something like that happened, there was no overt talking back or swearing by the clerk, and OP made up the story that made him look most cool.

OP will now push back and call names. But you know OP. You know. Shame on you - though now your massive ego will convince yourself that your story really happened. For someone who can piece together the story with limited information, it's pretty obvious this is fantasy. But nice try.

Don't doubt the line was pretty long and maybe they were understaffed. That's about all that adds up.

I've noticed employees and even managers acting the same way more and more. They should be happy they have a job, but no...they are starting to go crazy.

apparently you never been to a Kmart...trust me I believe the OP 100%..it was a revolution since the average shopper tends to put up with crap behavior from rude cashiers.
