Savemart Complaint
Listed below is the same problem with Savemart, Raley’s, Walmart, and similar large retail chains:
I asked a question to the general manager at Walmart--who has worked at that company for almost twenty years--why there was no longer any seating in his store (which also means tables to ill-informed anagement).
His excuse was that we want to get people in and out of the store as quickly as possible.
That I can understand--but he left out the "and safely" part.
I told him his reasoning was short-sighted and contrary to what the customers and employees wanted.
He replied "We know better than you”
…to which I replied "BULLSHIT!
“You don't know anything".
Sadly, that guy's sorry excuse was weak, for sure.
Instead, it's always good to take a break, sit a spell, eat lunch, or any number of similar reasons. It's just makes sense--especially as a healthy choice and it's obviously good PR. And if someone needed help employees could be right there and not sitting out in the parking lot.
Otherwise, it's not a good sight to see someone splattered on the ground, no doubt.
Sitting while taking a break is certainly not the problem though--as my finger points to people who simply walk out without paying.
From price gouging, shrinkflation, product lockdown, removal of amenities, and nonsense excuses--it's obvious that what the rest of want no longer matters.
So when you give us no respect you get no respect from us either.
And your response: "Sorry, back of the line. Next!"
