Random Gripes you Wish to Express...

[_Cathy_]

Cathy, SM and Robinsons Supermarkets supervisors are mostly gay. They hire observers inside the supermarket to eavesdrop on your conversations, what you buy in the basket or cart, and even how you pay. They need this info to determine which prices to raise in s given week and then change it next week para hindi mahuli ng regulating body.

Another one of their style is to not update the pricing labels pero ibs ang nasa barcode price. Pag nagkreklamo ka, pwede mabawi sa customer service. But most people dont kasi tipong P5-P10 difference di na napansin

Sadly, yan ang trend nila ngaun that's why I dont shop there anymore too. There is a body being to created to investgate the observers themselves and this practice by gay managers.

So you all know,

Oh my! You made me LOL in the office

The only time I used to go to SM was about a decade ago for one item - their Bonus Whole wheat bread which was surprisingly good. But now I don't eat bread daily anymore so I have absolutely no reason to go there. The lines are always long and I hate their stupid queuing system for basket shoppers.

I do not know what you meant when you stated "stupid queuing system for basket shoppers"....

Because, to me and in my field of expertise, that is the best queuing scheme...

Just one line queuing for multiple counters....

And when a counter becomes available, the first person in the line is served....

Really? It's no wonder I am not aware because my ex did all my management science homework. hahaha.

I think SM's queuing system is stupid because sometimes even when there are a lot of cart lanes that are free they don't let people with baskets fall in line there. Isn't that stupid?

If that is what you meant, and the cart counter is indeed free,- then it is logical that they should allow the basket to go to the cart counter. But only the basket in front and not just anyone .... So, the open cart counter becomes one in the pool of counters for the baskets until a cart arrives...

A little workaround I do if ever I go to an sm grocery. It's rare I do my bulk purchases from them anyway so I make sure when I enter I have a cart and a basket inside. I pick up what I need then come checkout time I check which lanes have shorter queues. Most often than not the big cart lanes have one to none while the basket lanes have their zigzag queue. Off to the big cart lanes then. They can't turn me down as I've a big cart despite having very few items.

Exactly my gripe. It's like their cashiers are robots who can't analyse the situation. They would only check you out on the cart lane if your items are on a cart even if it's just 5 items there. But won't let you if you have your 5 items on a basket.

Probably just conscious of what their bosses tell them. If they allow and are seen by their supervisors, goodbye. I've long given up on using logic with sm people. I just look for workarounds so my BP stays sane

Landmark, Marketplace or Cash & Carry if you want no issues in your BP
