ABC Warehouse lines?

Question

I was shopping there today in the Toledo, Ohio store. Showing up at 8am, I was able to nab the tv I wanted and get in line which was about 100 yards long. I was about 70 yards from the checkout counter where they only had 3 clerks working. We moved about 15 feet in 40 minutes?! I finally had to give up due to fatigue incurred in lines at other stores earlier this morning. I have purchased digital recorders, tvs, mp3 players, and a refrigerator here before. with each purchase taking far longer than it seemingly should. My question is this: "What is the cause of their ineptitude at the checkout counter?" I watched a guy with a microwave spend 1/2 hour at the counter. I commented on the situation to an employee near the door on my way out and he said he believed it was a success because there weren't any fights......yet.

Answer 1

It is not ineptitude, it is greed in hiring people to properly staff the store for this, as far as lines moving slowly, it could be the cashiers aren't properly trained and it takes them longer(store's fault) or a customer who starts asking questions after they get to the counter, not aking advantage of the sales people befor getting in line or maybe there card is declined and they are figuring another way to pay. Lots of possibilities, at least there was no fights. I would contact ABC wearhouse and see how they could remedy the situation/
