It is run like an independent dictatorship where you need three approval passes just to get one single item:
Look for the item.
All items are locked, so you must buzz the bell to call the only person working on the floor. This wait will take you 10-15 minutes, depending on the time of day.
When the worker arrives, they’ll ask the quantity of the items you need and will hand them to you personally, all while maintaining eye contact.
That worker will then send the items to the only other cash register, where you will have to wait in a long single line of other sad souls who thought this trip would take them 10 minutes. Fools.
When it’s your turn at the cash register, you must spell out the exact number of items you collected. Any discrepancies and you will be SOL.
It gets spicier from here: there is a wild card register in the beauty aisle. When you get called next, it’s secret boss time. She will show up at random—2 minutes? 5 minutes? She doesn’t have time for this nonsense. She will gently float down, never breaking eye contact; they never do—it’s a dominance display. No matter how little or how much annoyance you have in your body, she will sniff it out. She will push and prod while she is cashing you out. It’s her lair; she gets to play with her food however she wants.
You will leave spent, guilty, poorer, your faith in humanity taken down yet another notch, all while this demon, this sub-boss that is just another cog in the machine of capitalism and the reason we are not getting our Star Trek universe yet, grins and whispers between her teeth, “have a good day.not over yet.”
