Picture yourself at Target, in line behind four people with cart-fulls of stuff. You've been in line for what seems an eternity (but really like 8 minutes). Ok, a rush a people storm the check-out lines where there are only two workers available. You hear "I can help someone on register 2."
OH.NO.YOU.DIDN'T! Did she just leave it up to the masses to determine who is most deserving of being helped next? Yep, she sure did. Then you hear a pimple-faced punk say "I can help someone on register 8." OMFG! Noooo, Nooooo. This is NOT happening. I'm wedged between people bombarding the area so I can't move, yet these assholes who JUST walked up get help first. That is just plain wrong. Wrong. I would like to implore to the management of any establishment such as this to teach your sales associates to seek out the person who has already been waiting in line at great length. Tell the customer, by looking at them directly, "please follow me and I can check you out on register 2."
If you leave it to the common shopper mentality, more often than not, you will get total anarchy when the check-out system is poorly executed. Between those who have 'paid their dues' by spending time patiently in line and those "ME FIRST' morons, it is inviting spite, anger, verbal attacks (and I didn't apologize if that's what you want to know). Really, you're doing everyone a favor PLUS you are teaching a valuable lesson. One of which people should already know when we learned the "take your turn, be polite, don't be rude, don't cut in line' kinda crap in kindergarten.
