12. Lowes by me forced me to self-checkout after working 12 hours and shopping for 1.5 hours.

I had a full cart with almost 100 items from all parts of the store, including lumber. I was barely able to shop and when I got to the checkout 30 minutes before closing, they said I had to check everything out by myself. Others were forced in the same boat. I told them I was too tired to do it and refused. I asked for a register and they refused. After three times of me telling them I would not be checking out myself, I just walked out the door. They were stunned and asked why. I said, you know why and did a cargo drop.

From that day forward, that store always had at least one register that was staffed.

When I said I had stuff all over the store, literally it was from every isle except appliances. Not 20 of one ting, this was one and twos of an item. It must have taken them an hour or two for them to sift through the cart and wood cart and find where everything went.
