Oh, boy. it's time to worry when Wal-mart is having problems. Well, they'll never admit it, will they. But, the reality is that their cashier line-ups are telling enough for them. On average, at least at the one I go to, you get to spend at least 45 minutes watching the two people in front of you patiently wait for their turn to come up.
When the obligatory "how are you today" comes up, I can't help but respond with a comment about the extremely long wait time. To this, the cashiers routinely lament about the fact that they have not had a break in over three hours. They will also likely add something about their carpal tunnel syndrome or that they are new.
The fish really does stink from the head when complaining to management yields a confrontation to the effect that they see it as somehow my problem, not theirs.
