My meltdown in Job Lots.
First off, it was crowded for a weekday morning. Long lines at every register and people in catatonic trances blocking every aisle. Couldn't find half the items I went for. Asking floor clerks just netted bemused stares or a statement of, "If it's not on the shelf, we don't have it." When I finally got to the checkout, the clerk scanned my courtesy card, the proceeded to ask me to fill out an electronic form where I had to provide my email address and phone number. I protested saying that I had provided that information when I applied for the courtesy card. She said that they had to update info on customers. After a little back and forth about it, she bypassed the electronic form.
After scanning a few items, she picked up a bag of egg noodles and the bag split. I told her to forget it, but she called over another clerk and told him to get a replacement. Meanwhile the line behind me kept growing. Then another item wouldn't scan - it didn't have a bar code. Another clerk was summoned, and after some wait, she returned and said that was the only item in the store that didn't have a bar code and they didn't know what the price was. I told the check-out clerk to forget it.
Then I had a pair of sneakers where the shelf tag said $9.99, but when they were scanned the price was $25. I told het to forget the shoes. Now the line behind me was about 10 people.
I finally had enough and spoke out emphatically, "I have NEVER had so much trouble at a Job Lots before! First it's sign this, fill out that. Your merchandise doesn't scan correctly or has compromise packaging!" I regretted it - it wasn't the poor check out lady's fault, but I had had my fill of frustration.
