Few months ago my Wal-Mart redid the whole front of the store with more self checkout lanes. They have an automatic conveyor so you don't have to constantly pick up something from the cart, scan it and put it on the thing. They're great! But half the time they aren't open. I asked the lady at the small self checkout why they were closed and she said there was no one available to staff them. Like what??? It's Wal-Mart, they hire anybody. They can't find someone to stand in front of them and watch for a blinking red light? C'mon!So I busted my back doing the one-by-one thing on the small bedside table sized check-out because of course no regular staffed check-outs were open either!
So I guess my trivial complaint is dishonest people ruining things for everyone else.

They would scan the $3.97 DVD, then put a more expensive DVD in the bag. Even though they were paying something, they weren't paying the price they were supposed to. The self check outs where I live now have a camera on them, but I don't know how much of a deterrent that actually ends up being.So I guess my trivial complaint is dishonest people ruining things for everyone else.

I hate it when dishonest people ruin things for people. The other day I saw a 6 pack of Coke and someone had helped themselves to 1 bottle and left the other 5. Today I was in a craft store and was looking at a package that had several crochet needles. Someone stole one of the needles out of the multipack even though there were single crochet needles for sale for $3 close by. Ponyfan

They open the cases, take the DVD and walk out with it, even though they have security right on the DVD. Someone has even gone so far as to peel the security strip off of the DVDs and Video Games, which ends up ruining them, so they leave them somewhere in the library for us to find. Seriously, just check out the DVD or Video Game. It isn't like it costs anything to borrow it!

They were all in a drawer beneath the desk. When someone wanted to take out a box set it was a nightmare, getting the right pouch and putting the right discs in - but it was to prevent theft.

There just isn't room to keep the discs separate from the cases.
I had my disability hearing today. My mom went with as my witness and my sister drove. My dad didn't say anything before I left and when I got home the only thing he had to say was that the internet wasn't working and could I fix it
