Thank you, Olivia, for addressing what most all of us face daily!

I live in Texas. Our local WallMart, Target & grocery stores only have self checkout now. In fact, if the machine stalls, you may have to holdup the line waiting on an employee to help. An employee, by the way, who acts pissed because you bothered them while they were sitting on a stool texting!

I’m thinking SURELY we should get an invitation to the companies Holiday Parties (don’t say Christmas, don’t want to offend!). I mean, if I am paying higher prices, + have to checkout and bag my groceries + take them to my car and return the buggy inside the store, I feel like the least these Billion dollar corporations can do is put out a few extra cookies for their loyal employees … uh, I mean customers!

Don’t misunderstand (Good Lord, always having to qualify our statements!), I do not mind doing these things for myself, as long as I am able. What I don’t like is elderly folks who aren’t able, yet get ignored by employees who get even more pissed having to help them to their cars!
