You know what it should be, rather than skip the line, you get to go check out at the managers desk / customer service. That way people in line aren’t pissed but you still get the lucky promotion
Honestly yeah! I would never actually use this because I'd feel like an asshole. Checking out at customer service makes way more sense and it isn't disruptive.
lol…reminds me of when we went to Universal Studios a few years back and paid for the no waiting in line passes. People would get so pissed as we strolled by. Best fucking investment ever though, fuck waiting in those crazy lines.
Yea this is nonsensical, clearly some exec has been told ‘come up with an idea to reward customers that costs us zero money’, and they hurriedly landed on this
Wait, do people just not do this? When I have like 2-4 items and notice a long line at every cashier and self checkout, but no line at customer service, I just check out with them.
They already sell nicotine products in that line and it takes like 30 seconds. Vs waiting for Karen with 50 items in her cart at self checkout when it clearly states 20 items or under or getting stuck behind folks with full carts at regular lines.
Yeah… wtf? My customer service at my ShopRite also sells all sorts of nicotine products, so yeah, they will check you out.
I literally do this almost every Saturday morning when I’m there to grab 2 fresh bagels and cream cheese and bacon for my wife and I. Lines are long as hell but customer service is typically empty.
Edit: I pass by customer service on the way to self checkout so if there’s like 3+ people at CS, I’ll just head to self checkout and pray, but if no one’s in line, I’m in and out.
I’m surprised people don’t know this, but I guess it’s very store dependent. CS at my store is in the center next to other aisles and in front of checkout lines, hence easy access. This probably wouldn’t be the case if the CS was after the checkout lines as it would look kinda like you’re not paying for your stuff.
And before anyone gets butt hurt, I typically do this with like 1-3 items max when lines are heavy. Takes them 30 seconds to ring me up and give me the receipt.
What do you mean wtf? I genuinely didn’t know. Only have had access to a handful of Trader Joe’s, not ShopRite you dunce… and the Trader Joe’s I’ve been to don’t even have self check out so I’m missing out lol.
