@lgfan  My neighbor used to shop al the time at JoAnn's for fabric and craft supplies. She claims she can't get good quality fabric at Hobby Lobby, or any of the stores in our area. We live near Charlotte, and she was hoping to get some when she vacationed in Tennessee.

Good grief!  What is going on??  A younger me would have challenged that on the spot.  I would definitely make a call to corporate (don't mess with anyone below that).  You also deserve some compensation equal to the "crime".  What if you had been in a hurry to pick up an elderly parent or a sick child or about to have an "accident"?  What if you were about to collapse from back pain?  What if you had an appt?  Was there a sign saying you couldn't do what you did?  Something is "off".

I still don't understand why this store has never updated their POS system and let the cashiers type in everything into the register like it is 1975. 


I read the autobiography of their founder, David Green.  He explained that they never went to a barcode system because he wanted his managers to know their merchanidse and sales. But I believe it's because he didn't want to spend the money on the upgrade.


Congratulations, David. They know their merchandise and can stare at it all day long since no one can checkout to buy it in a timely fashion.

Those in line didn't move because they were politely waiting for an employee to manage it.

I would have said

Do you want me to walk out and never shop again OR point your finger at me ?

 

Good job though....now it's time to call corporate.....they'll change that tune.

I have been in lines before when a new register opens and the back ones rush to it and here I have  been waiting forever.   This is at the grocery store.  Happens all the time.  I just don't move any more and figure the heck with it.  People are rude.

WHAT IF you're an adult and just decided to buy your items and LEAVE.

 

I don't put up with BS.  Last time someone tried to use me for their discipline they received their own.

Wait, what?  What about all the people who were waiting in line ahead of the OP?  We've all waited on line at times and I for one would be livid if someone jumped to the newly opened register from the back of the line.  

 

This is not a "crime" and deserves zero compensation.  An apology from the DM and a commitment to follow up on how the employee is speaking to customers, but no compensation.  


I did wait for others ahead of me to move over, no one did so if no one else is going to go then I will. I can't help it if others can't or won't get out of line for a shorter line.

"It must be the WEATHER".    I was in a jewelry store waiting to pick up a ring that was being sized...and I walked over to a display case to look at some earrings.     The clerk actually SAID TO ME...."You can't afford those."

 

I got my ring...and left the place PERMANENTLY.    di


Wow. I'd love to know the name of the store.
