When you check out at Wal Mart...

[snickers]

Does the cashier ask you to put your basket away while he/she is checking you out?

I usually go through the fast lanes, and I just put the basket by my feet while I pay and then I put the basket in the pile I got it from on my way out the door. Well, the past 5 or 6 times I have been there the cashier has said something along the lines of "you can go put your basket away while I check you out" or something to that effect. Today the cashier said "you're going to put that away, right?" and gave me a snotty look, which didn't sit well with me. Has this become a rude routine for Wal Mart cashiers? Or am I just being an oversensitive pregnant chick?

I use a cart. I get WAY too much stuff at walmart to fit in a tiny basket.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

No one has ever told me what to do with my basket at Walmart. Sometimes they even offer to take it for me.

[soozy87]

I have not heard of this.

[sineadorebellion]

Yeah, no. I don't think I've ever been told that before. Usually they offer to take it from me.

No.

ETA: oh wait, maybe they have, but I just didn't know they spoke to me lol

 This made me chuckle a little (with you, not at you of course!)

I don't go that often, but no one has asked me that.

That said, I'm always trying to figure out what to do with my basket at Target, if there isn't a stand for them. I'm a stickler for putting my shopping cart back in the parking lot, but the baskets I'm not necessarily going out of my way to put it back if there is no indication of where to put it and/or it's not close.

Honestly, I think it's better for them to take it. Besides that, I like to watch what you ring up to make sure it's right and fix it then and not later at customer service, so no, thank you I'll stand right here while you ring my stuff up.

I've never had anyone tell me.

When I worked at Target, when people didn't know where to put it and asked, I'd tell them. Or I'd flat out tell them when they were obnoxious enough to set it over my scanner and hold up my line. Other wise, it's up to them to figure out/do what they want.

I don't shop at Wal-mart, but other stores, like Harris Teeter or Target, I put it away on my own or they ask me for it. If someone told me to do it, I would most likely leave it there.

This is what I would say....if I ever shopped at Wal-Mart (obligatory ML response).

i wish i would have used this at Lowe's the other day when i asked for assistance in finding something and the worker said " Have you checked down all the aisles?

no douche i didnt check in EVERY FUCKING AISLE. i don't work here.

[bugandbibs]

I've never had this happen. Usually they offer to take it when I use a hand basket.

I can't wait until we get a Target!!

No baskets at my wal-mart!

The cashier was rude.

[chickadee77]

Never heard of that. When I use one at the grocery or anywhere, though, I typically put it underneath the very beginning of the conveyor, after unloading it. I got into this habit at Sainsbury's - when I asked, that's what I was told to do. A lot of other people do this in the States, too, because I'm usually adding it to a pile of them already there!

This is what I do if they don't ask to take it from me.

[statlerwaldorf]

I never use a basket. I'm not even sure if my Walmart has baskets. The cashier was rude and I would've complained to management. I actually have found the cashiers around here pretty friendly. They are just extremely old and slow.

[ndolehan]

Nope. I've had them offer to take the basket and put it away - but that's it. Or I put it away myself.

[UMaineTeach]

I worked as a cashier at WM. I stacked baskets behind me and tried not to trip until I had a break to go put them back. I would never have ordered you to go put it away.

[pugz]

Put it on the belt and let them deal with it

[ProfessorArtNerd]

That's rude!

I don't like Walmart, mostly because the one near me has smelled like ball sweat and nacho cheese since the day it opened

The fuck?

No. Get on your radio and fucking find someone who can help if you're not capable.

What a lazy ass. *grumble*

[auntie]

Walmart has baskets?

On the rare times I need a Walmart fix, I need a cart or two.

LOL, the Walmart I go to is new and huge and in a depressed area of the county. The young people who work there don't have a lot of other options- a few are college students paying their way. They are unfailing polite and pleasant. I always feel a little sorry for them.
