Reminds me of when I was wiring a McDonald's that was going through an extensive remodel a few years ago. I was finishing up a bunch of the equipment out in the lobby which was towards the end of the 5 or 6 week project. I decided I wanted to have McDonald's for lunch that day. I walked up to the counter to order food and the worker tells me that they just put in self checkout kiosks and that I should use those. I kinda chuckled at her and told her that I was the one that wired them up and literally walked through your kitchen a few minutes ago to turn the circuit on. I then told her I'd rather place my order with you instead of the kiosk. She kept insisting on me ordering from the kiosk instead of her. Soon another employee walks up to the counter to see what was going on. Finally I say to both of them - you do realize the more people that use these new kiosks, the less they will need you standing behind this counter? (They both give me blank stares) so eventually you won't have this job anymore. Suddenly, they were both more than happy to take my order and remained at that counter for their shift taking peoples orders.

Some times you bout have to slap some of them to get their attention. Hello, are you awake in their?

I have even brought in Lowes plastic bags a couple of times and made the comment on the way out I was glad they were finally giving out bags again. Make no sense to me. THey banned plastic straws here, so now you get a paper straw in a plastic cover. They banned styrofoam takeout trays for food so now they hand out clear plastic ones. THey banned plastic shopping bags but the millions of other products you get from the stores all come in.....plastic. Humans are the only species I can think of that let the dumbest of them run the place.

I have noticed since NY banned one time use bags I have seen a dramatic reduction of bags tangled up in trees and shrubs . At first they were charging 5cents if you wanted paper bags but lately the bags are free . We still use to much plastic I try to buy stuff not in plastic whenever possible . Specially seltzer which I drink a lot of I buy it in aluminum cans because it’s one of the easiest and most recycled not just thrown in a landfill .

I’ve actually left cartfulls of items when they have no manned registers . Walmart is the worst for having 15 registers and one or two open .
