what do i have against gays? nothing. "trabaho lang po".

That is so true! I have a colleague who was dismissed from his former company as an auditor because he was hiding audit findings as he had a crush on the guy. Umabot na yung storya hanggang saamin (new company)

Ako naman I value my time kaya sa Savemore and Hypermarket ako nag gro grocery. Sa area kasi namin sablay yung Puregold, Super8 at Robinsons supermarket. Kaunti na nga lang yung open na counter mababagal pa mga cashier. While yung Savemore or Hypermarket maganda location, madali mag park at libre at di mahaba pila.

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...

I now shop at cash and carry, although it's a little far from my house, I would rather travel than shop at SM. Yesterday I bought beef and they even gave me bones for free. When they give change it's round down like when I bought a snack for P64.36, they gave me P36 change

to those who still do not know, and wish to know... C&C items are cheaper than SM.

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.
