    Kill the radio or at least all the advertisement over PA. What was wrong with the easy listening music we had in stores?

      There’s ads over the PA? I have never heard any. It might be because I’m typically in-and-out and focused on just getting what I need or maybe I’ve just been tuning them out. I’ll have to listen more carefully next time I’m at Target and Walmart.

        There is one big store here which constantly advertises a set of products in the store. It made not buy the product out of spite (and the fact it’s made by a subsidiary of Nestle, because /c/fucknestle)

    The clickbait title from 2018 was referring to credit-card signatures.

    As credit-card companies kill customer-signature requirements, retailers like Walmart and Target are following suit.

    Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express have either already stopped or announced plans to stop requiring customers to sign their receipts when checking out.

    An elderly Walmart greeter: <holding a gun and shaking nervously>

    “Go ahead hero, pull the trigger. You got killer in your eyes, son? …I don’t see it.”

    I came in here thinking that they were finally going to cut costs to the bone by getting rid of employees. Make the customer pay if items aren’t restocked to perfection, and no more annoying employees who are being forced to ask if you need help. Sort of like those amazon stores that you ‘pay’ first with your credit card to enter the store and it tracks what you take.

    Pure, sweet business profits, eh? Eeeh? I bet we could convince an mba to make that pitch, and could bankrupt a few stores before they realize the idiocy.

    I get it’s a meme, but I’d be hard pressed to find one thing that’s not annoying about shopping in these places.
