So how many of these “experiments” do we need to have until we make some policies based on the results? I see this all the time, but it’s always just that: an “experiment”
Then when you do move fast (I always do because I’m impatient af) a crowd of employees will gather behind you because they think you’re stealing. No, I’m just stressed that I had to watch all these slow fucks take their sweet ass time scanning their shit.
If you’re at a Walmart a good trick if you’ve only got a handful of items is checking out in electronics, apparel or HBA/cosmetics.
But in huge cities those cashiers are oftentimes missing or bombarded with key duty (where they lock up items that cost like $2) so it’s hit or miss.
(Regarding locking up simple items like deodorant: if it takes 45 minutes for someone to come unlock it and the only way to get someone to come over with a key is by shouting “help” very loudly I’m ordering it on Amazon.)
Denver experimented with giving people $1,000 a month. It reduced homelessness and increased full-time employment, a study found. (www.businessinsider.com)
