I dunno 'bout y'all, but the most annoying thing for me when shopping is that I want all this stuff, but they want all this money that I don't have. That shit's kinda fucked up if you ask me.

They've come to the conclusion that butchering the customers and selling their organs is more profitable.

An elderly Walmart greeter: <holding a gun and shaking nervously>
"Go ahead hero, pull the trigger. You got killer in your eyes, son? ...I don't see it."
What is a Walmart greeter?

People who are paid to hang out at the entrance/exits to discourage shoplifting by checking receipts against what's in the cart.

It didn't generate revenue
But….i’m already in the store trying to buy the things? Why do i need to hear constant jingle advertisements for the store im already in? Not jingles for products or certain sale items…just the store itself….as if i kept forgetting where i was?
“Save big money, save big money at Menards!!” Yeah, i know- that’s why im here! But ima leave if that shit doesnt stop!

And people let them look through their stuff?

I don’t, I walk right by the guy with my cart. I just paid for all this shit at the cashier which already took forever due to incompetence, on no less than 20 cameras with their own employee scanning items. They have no authority to hold me there and I already own the items in the cart.
If they accuse me of stealing, they will never get another dollar from me. I hope there are many others like me.

IDK, probably some behavioral psychology thing where it makes you think about them every time you need to go shopping without realising it.

The clickbait title from 2018 was referring to credit-card signatures.

As credit-card companies kill customer-signature requirements, retailers like Walmart and Target are following suit.
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express have either already stopped or announced plans to stop requiring customers to sign their receipts when checking out.

There was still a requirement to sign in the USA in 2018???

I kinda get it. I want all that money, too

I didn't wait for them to accuse me of stealing. My final straw was when they removed 80% of the check outs in favor of self check outs.

My wife thinks I'm rude for handing them the receipt on my way out. They want it so bad, they can keep it!

The point of the jungle is that it sticks around after you leave, lingering in your subconscious, always on standby for the next time you need some landscaping tools at a fraction of the price of those other guys.

Pretty sure I’ve had to sign at least once this year. Lotta freedom tho.

About $7.25 an hour

Kill the radio or at least all the advertisement over PA. What was wrong with the easy listening music we had in stores?
There's ads over the PA? I have never heard any. It might be because I'm typically in-and-out and focused on just getting what I need or maybe I've just been tuning them out. I'll have to listen more carefully next time I'm at Target and Walmart.

Just at Walmart? Because tons businesses still requiring it even on small amounts. Fucking annoying.

I came in here thinking that they were finally going to cut costs to the bone by getting rid of employees. Make the customer pay if items aren't restocked to perfection, and no more annoying employees who are being forced to ask if you need help. Sort of like those amazon stores that you 'pay' first with your credit card to enter the store and it tracks what you take.
Pure, sweet business profits, eh? Eeeh? I bet we could convince an mba to make that pitch, and could bankrupt a few stores before they realize the idiocy.
