From somewhere on twitter:
So l am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour “monitors” and then this happened.
Her – why are you double bagging all of your groceries?
Me – excuse me?
Her – you are wasting our bags!
Me – if you don’t like the way I’m bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her – that’s not my job!
Me – okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that’s all right with you.
Her – why are you using two bags?!
Me – because the bags are weak and I don’t want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her – well that’s because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn’t need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me – so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don’t have to double bag.
Her – exactly.
Me – so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her – no because you wouldn’t be double bagging.
*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me – okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I’m still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it’s not the same number of bags.

And ya can’t fix stupid.

OK, Walmart does have some really freakish people working there; not all of them, but a significant portion. However, I question that story. No way a Walmart employee would be that utterly stupid. Freakish, yes; utterly brain-dead stupid, no. The checker’s job is really simple, but still requires an IQ over 80.
I’ve had similar conversations with ‘normal’ people all my life until I learned NPC theory.
My former wife worked in the airline industry as a reservations office supervisor and then as a manager.
The stupidity of the common twit at the end of the phone lines (i.e., the ‘customers’) was astounding. Case in point: customer asks how is it possible for the flight to leave NYC at noon and arrive at LAX at 1400? The twit had never heard of time zones. Another asked about pet carriers for her dog … she was told that it had to be big enough for the dog to stand, sit and lie down … and she said that her flight was leaving the next morning and that didn’t allow enough time for her to train her dog to do that.
I used to work for Fedex as a customer service agent. I was frequently asked how much an international shipment to Hawaii would cost.
An apparently common mistake. One of my coworkers was going to Hawaii for her honeymoon. She had a work meltdown because she couldn’t find her passport.
That ranks up there with the Gen-Z idiot who thought Alaska was an island like Hawaii. Think about how it’s shown on a map…
Just think, these people are allowed to vote.
And serve on juries
What is REALLY terrifying is that half of them are dumber than that.
My friends wife needed to fly from Dallas TX to Charleston West VA. The booking agent sent her to Charleston SC. Wife did not realize the error until she arrived in SC.
True story!
Based on my life experience – I believe it.
Wanna bet ? Had a cashier call the manager and stated I was trying to pass phony money because I paid with a $2 bill.
Try using SBAs … Susan B Anthony silver dollars … sends them into convulsions …
Back in the eighties I had a gas station attended refuse to take a prepaid travelers check along the Freeway in Mississippi because she had never heard of a travelers check. So she called the manager, who had never heard of one either! They though it might bounce!
Yes there are some that stupid
Carlin said to think how stupid the average person is and then realize that 49% are stupider than that.
I had the same thing happen but with peppers. The gold/red/green peppers were all the same price.
I bought a bag of six peppers, two of each color. At the checkout the girl started taking them all out and weighing them individually. When I asked what she was doing she said she had to weigh them separately and according to color.
Dumbfounded I started trying to educate her, to no avail and she couldn’t continue a rational conversation and her job at the same time. After about 5 minutes of this I saw a cashier I knew, called her over and told her to educate the cashier.
Long story short. I left dumbfounded at just how stupid some people actually are and learned who to avoid if need be. And, she was black.
When it’s a black?
That just is.
When it’s a non?
It is a wifi/5g induced autistic like disorder.
After national integration, the expectation was that Africans would quickly rise to White educational standards. They didn’t. Not ever, at least not as a group. A few shining achievers here and there, but NEVER larger scale performance. So the standards were lowered so everyone, even those with sub-85 IQ could pass. Today, most White students (unless they happen to live in a remote all-White rural community) are educated to an African level. White students are allowed (encouraged, actually) to achieve no higher than what was considered as border line retarded in 1960.
May have different bar codes for inventory purposes.
nope. Try again
Black and thicc.
She may have been required to separate the peppers because the different colors had different code numbers for tracking of stock? Not that she would know that.
Nope. They are bulk, no stickers and the other cashier I knew came and told her to weigh them all in the same bag I brought them up in.
She could not understand that they were all the same price, listed as peppers and she could weigh them all at the same time. She argued that she had to weigh each one separately and by color even tho she did not have to enter different codes, for color.
Maybe she’d have done things different if you had thrown some black pepper in there, too …
She was right, though. Each color gets a line in a computer printout for the backroom to analyze.
This is one of the reasons I don’t go to Walmart.
12 years since we have been to Wally World. Just recently added Dollar General to our list of idiot places we don’t go . Yesterday we just added Meijer to the list.
I avoid Walmart because of old women. Fat or thin doesn’t matter. An 80 pound old lady can totally block an 8 foot wide aisle as she slowly gazes at each coffee choice. Then she leaves with the same damn Folgers she bought 40 years ago.
BINGO. and worse, some of those dingbats pay with checks and have to search for 5 minutes to find their checkbook then have to take another 5 minutes writing the dam thing out then they notice a wrong price on their receipt and have to start the whole horror all over. SMGDH.
Now realize that half the population is even dumber than that.
Thus explains the 40 million people who actually voted for Zhou Buyden.
I laughed
That’s when you leave the shit for her to clean up and walk out the door.
Lemme guess. A Gifted & Talented Teen Jogger?
she may even have a PhD in Mathematics from an ivy league intellectual powerhouse.
OR maybe a graduate of the same economics program as AOC. Go Terriers..
All the Ivy leaguers I know, and that is a lot, are smart bastards. Maybe misguided with their politics. But none are stupid. Underestimate your opponent at your peril.
For how long?
I know many as well. There is a clear delineation: Those over 45 or so are smart; merit was still in play when they were admitted. Those under 45 were admitted for other reasons than ability.
I would’ve immediately triple-bagged the next item.
Remembe MadTV Stewart?
Imagine him bagging with his mom and the Walmart employee trying to stop him from double bagging.
“I can do it myself!” As he holds the women off with his foot in their faces..
Stuart “Grandpa? Can you feel your legs?”
Some stupid shit people watch on the boob tube!
Me?
“So I’m wasting bags huh?”
“Those bags are less than $0.03 cents each. Which means my ten “extra bags” cost less than thirty cents. You, are paid fifteen dollars an hour. In the five minutes you have been going on about my “extra quarter’s worth of plastic bags”, you have cost your employer $1.25, in some misguided attempt to save your company money.”
Either that? Or maybe I would say: “The jerkstore called….”
“George? The ocean called…”
EMF radiation induced obsessive compulsive disorder.
Their complete inability to let go of a situation without “winning” it is the first indication that they have low IQ. Just thank them for enlightening you.
I went into a Walmart nearby a few weeks ago, it was horrifying, the people, the way items were stocked looked like an autistic 12 year old just threw things on the shelves, it was like being in a third world horror movie, literally could not get out fast enough, but damned if their giant parking lot isn’t filled up, very scary
It’s true, Hell is other people
I thought autism made you good at sorting and stacking things. Or is that OCD?
Autistics make great pilots and air traffic controllers.
Except for the talking, maybe. I’ll be honest, I’ve met retards called autistic, but I’ve never known anyone who was actually autistic.
Unless that means I am one of them because I can’t recognize it.
That’s a damned scary thought! I don’t even know WTF you are, but I hope that isn’t the case for you.
This is why I can’t tell.
Are you’re being sympathetic (out of character for you though), are you afraid you might be autistic, or are you afraid I might be responsible for your safety while flying?
Thanos
Eye cee yuuu!
Stopped going when they closed down the Ammo and firearms section.
We went into Target a few weeks ago.
It looked an awful lot like Kmart did right before they went full flop.

Tard.
“Here’s your sign….”
The website “people of walmart” exists because of these types of people.
POW used to be a regular weekend post here. Some of it was funny.
Just tell Shaniqua that this is why she works at Walmart and you are an astronaut.
I love going to the jewel osco across the street from my bank branch . If I get a withdrawal I usually just ask for large bills . Then I go across the street pick out 3 or 4 things I need . Proceed to the self checkout . Then I ring each item separately and break a hundred for each item. It’s hysterical the supervisor twat always thinks I’m doing something shady. Last week she said I missed an item would I like her help to ring it up . I said no and explained what I was doing using their checkout to break bills .she was dumbfounded.
GS, sometime just for fun try using the self check to pay for something with a whole fistful of change. More fun than going to the zoo.
You are a piece of work, alright. Petty, perhaps?
Maff be hard !
We have a generation of woke DEI pussies and village idiots all in need of a safe place so as not to be threatened by the realities of life !
There’s that Maff again!&*%!!1
🤣🤣🤣
Even more 🤣🤣🤣
You have to laugh because crying is not an option.
What do you think the odds of explaining in child like terms our current national/world situation? She’s the walking dead…a casualty in the coming SHTF.
1. I completely believe this story.
2. I shop at Walmart strictly out of necessity because living is soooooo F expensive now.
3. Their bags constantly rip because they are so light. Double-bagging is YET MORE time robbed from me because I have to check myself out, but I do it so that there aren’t disasters getting groceries in the house.
4. I want off this ride. Can I go back to the ’70s, ’80s or ’90s, please? Really any 10 years before 9-11 would be great.
Bring a reusable bag from Marshalls. They’re strong and they have cotton ones you can wash. Supermarkets here now charge 5 cents for bags that rip if you put two cans in them. Scam under the guise of environmental bullshit.
I like to use paper grocery bags to start my campfires. I also like to tell globull warmists that I use paper grocery bags to start campfires.
.551 mil bags compared to .71 mil bags?
I got a bad habit of just ignoring that walmart hall monitor bs. Maybe it’s that 1911 on my hip. I’ll do MY talkin after they lay hands on me. Until then I’m just there to conduct business. If you are hindering that? You got a bad business model.
FedBots can’t carry a gun.
Wow, you’re so tough, Stupidizer!
There’s really only one way to know for sure, ain’t there?
Lemme hip you wally world n00bs up. Ya gotta put yer game face on in the parking lot and keep it on until you’re sitting in your car again.
I been wearin’ my game face for so long I think it’s the only one I own. Other people’s stupidity just brings it out in me. Shoppin, drivin, golfin…it’s ALL game face time. I’m gonna set up my game cam just to see if I frown while I sleep!
Resting Bitch Face?
With downward facing dog. yes. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Wow, what’s that face look like while you are jacking off? Like when you comment here. Same face?
I had to pay $12 even the other day, so I handed the cashier a $20 bill and two $1 bills, because I prefer less bills in my wallet (=$10 change).
The cashier gives me back the two singles, says “here are these back….you gave me too much..oookay….out of twenty…” and then hands me the $5 and three singles.
I started to say something like “Ugh, I gave you $22 for a reason..” but then I just figured to fugetyaboutit.
Those young people are probably just not used to cash handling, never having any physical cash on themselves.
A lot of it has to do with the mindlessness of the job. It’s so boring your brain goes on autopilot so on the rare occasion you have to think your brain takes time to catch up.
I was going to mention this. people get very confused about making change.
I realize now the simple joy I feel when I do occasionally get a smart, thoughtful person. Those people make interactions with other people almost bearable.
I needed to return an item via UPS and was provided a return label. I went to a UPS Store but did not put the label on the package. Not having a lot of experience returning items UPS, only receiving them, I wanted to make sure the label was placed in the correct place. Maybe I should not have been “concerned” and just slapped the label on the package anywhere. I handed the package to the UPS Store clerk and said, “here is the label for the return”. The lady took the label and applied it to the package and said , “that will be 50 cents”. I looked at her and said, “what, for you placing the label?” She said, “you cannot get anything these days for 50 cents.” Knowing that comment was absolutely untrue I said, “that’s not true. I can get a small package of Lays potato chips for 49 cents at wal mart.” I’m not going to that UPS Store again.
Why does anyone shop at Walmart?
Once in a while. In these times inventory is kind of low and just finding stuff is hard at times.
They carry canned mackerel. I went there a few months ago. Got a few cans and got the hell out.
Maff be hard. Put your juice and milk in a double bag so your groceries don’t spill onto the parking lot and you are using too many bags. Put your juice in one bag and your milk in one bag and you are using the correct number of bags? Count the number of bags on your fingers. Smh.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it’s not the same number of bags.
…That someone got the manager out of their office.
ONLY THE “BE-LIE-VERS” WILL FAIR BADLY IN THE DAYS AHEAD FOLKS…JUST WATCH ANYONE WHO STILL THINKS A “MASK” OF ANY KIND WILL PROTECT THEM FORM WHATS COMING1 9LAUGH!!!)
THEY ARE EASY TO SPOT…THEY WILL STILL USE THEM EVERYWHERE…AND WILL HAVE “CELLPHONES”.
THEY ARE LIKE THE “BORG” IN ALL THE WI-FI SCIENCE MOVIES (STAR-TREK)
REMEMBER “WHAT HAPPENED TO THE “BORGS”??????
$15/hr. is a far too high rate of compensation for her. I’m assuming she was a POC, right?
Ww do know her first name, though…Karen.
The proper response is “Fuck off”
Short, succinct and brooks no follow-up.
On a darker tone, in the past I tend to imagine nuclear apocalypse as parent’s gagging their own children to death with Walmart bags, because it is preferable to the horrors of radiation poisoning.
But people still vote for any and all actions to the golden road called ‘continual escalation’, and nobody really seems to care about ‘nuclear limitation treaties’ or this outdated thing called ‘negotiation’.
But yeah, hon, you can bag your groceries twice, just tell the employee:
That you will ship them back to the sender (after using them), “one just for you, and one sent with love from me.”
I got a feeling…
That the whole world will get much easier for me, when I can learn to coax a positive reaction from people who want the opposite reaction, to go full 180 degrees on them.
Moonwalk your way out, and they will think you are walking forwards toward them.
And remember to smile.
🙂
Or they won’t think it is sincere. ;]
Just tell her she’s being excessively niggardly.
When you have a whole city like Baltimore where no students can pass age-level math, what would you expect? The dumbing down of America has happened.
