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.

There was still a requirement to sign in the USA in 2018???
just because us statesians have heard of PINs doesn't mean we know how to use them

I get it's a meme, but I'd be hard pressed to find one thing that's not annoying about shopping in these places.

The most annoying thing is how they constantly move things around so I can't find what I want.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I have seen a gas pump have a "press cancel to skip PIN entry" message...

Requirement? No.
Old terminals that weren't replaced/updated? Yeah absolutely. I still periodically have to sign.

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.
Self check outs >>> traditional check outs though

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'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.
There is one big store here which constantly advertises a set of products in the store. It made not buy the product out of spite (and the fact it's made by a subsidiary of Nestle, because /c/fucknestle)
