Ever Wonder Why.....
 
Anyone else here ever wonder why there are always 2 dozen registers in a supermarket, Wal-Mart, Home Depot and there are never more than just a few open at any one time???? Seems like a huge waste of money if you ask me!!!:tm: :smash:

2 Words ........ Holiday Shopping

Thats the only time I can recall that they have them all open

Come on TDF....during the holidays I have never seen "ALL" of the registers at my local Super Stop and Shops open....not even half of them!:laughs:

They saw you and knew you were the Guy slamming all of their "Express Registers" on all the Fishing Sites so they Closed them on you. :hihi:

Well, seeing as how you can't add registers on the fly it would make sense to plan for max capacity...and you need a few backups in case of failure.

Home Depot seems to manage their lines pretty well.

Wal-Mart is another story entirely, but that's just their business model. Catering to low to low-middle incomes they really dont care how long you spend in line because the value is in the cheap product, not your personal time.

I want to know what Home Depot Spence shops at!:bgi:


The Homies near me, and a few others I go to all suck when it comes to managing crowds/lines!

some are open 24/7
 
so depending on what your buying sometimes
its best to go either real early or real late.

I've never had a problem, although I try to patronize my local lumberyard/hardware stores as much as possible. The quality of the products at HD is often very poor, but we've beaten this horse before!
