I also noticed the lack of staffing. There was only one cashier and he was running around the store trying to help customers find items. However, there was a line and people were getting impatient. The Krispy Krunchy Chicken counter seemed to have an employee who could not leave the chicken area. Th...

I take it back. This system is flawed. I was charged for a large bag of chips when I picked up a small one. Apparently it is not very accurate if it just goes by what each item looks like. There must be someone in a room looking at the cameras trying to figure out what you are holding. What a rip of...

I went to Taco Bell and said I had a mobile order. The cashier said, "Oh, God!" She told me that when people do mobile orders, there are so many crazy customizations that can be missed. They end up having to remake the food and end up throwing away tons of food. It really cuts into their p...

I was just comparing how in some cities such as Woodland, California near Sacramento, the Walmart was not able to become a supercenter.

Most of the time it was so frustrating that you would just order the bare minimum and pay. Ordering with a cas...

I was stuck in line at JCPenney, and many people were having problems using their JCPenney rewards program. The cashier would push signing up for Rewards and then people would have problems redeeming. Then there were multiple issues with the cashier asking if you wanted to apply for a credit card. T...

The Beef Gyro is only beef while the other Gyro Meat could be a mix with little to a lot of lamb. I would suspect it would be on the little side regarding the amount of lamb.
