Kill the radio or at least all the advertisement over PA. What was wrong with the easy listening music we had in stores?
It didn't generate revenue
But….i’m already in the store trying to buy the things? Why do i need to hear constant jingle advertisements for the store im already in? Not jingles for products or certain sale items…just the store itself….as if i kept forgetting where i was?
“Save big money, save big money at Menards!!” Yeah, i know- that’s why im here! But ima leave if that shit doesnt stop!
There's ads over the PA? I have never heard any. It might be because I'm typically in-and-out and focused on just getting what I need or maybe I've just been tuning them out. I'll have to listen more carefully next time I'm at Target and Walmart.
The clickbait title from 2018 was referring to credit-card signatures.

As credit-card companies kill customer-signature requirements, retailers like Walmart and Target are following suit.
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express have either already stopped or announced plans to stop requiring customers to sign their receipts when checking out.
There was still a requirement to sign in the USA in 2018???
🤦
Pretty sure I’ve had to sign at least once this year. Lotta freedom tho.
Requirement? No.
Old terminals that weren't replaced/updated? Yeah absolutely. I still periodically have to sign.
just because us statesians have heard of PINs doesn't mean we know how to use them
I have seen a gas pump have a "press cancel to skip PIN entry" message...

Usually they ask for the zip code of the billing address, and if you found a card, there's a good chance you'd be in that zip code.
USA problems
An elderly Walmart greeter: <holding a gun and shaking nervously>
"Go ahead hero, pull the trigger. You got killer in your eyes, son? ...I don't see it."
The most annoying thing is how they constantly move things around so I can't find what I want.
They've come to the conclusion that butchering the customers and selling their organs is more profitable.
I came in here thinking that they were finally going to cut costs to the bone by getting rid of employees. Make the customer pay if items aren't restocked to perfection, and no more annoying employees who are being forced to ask if you need help. Sort of like those amazon stores that you 'pay' first with your credit card to enter the store and it tracks what you take.
Pure, sweet business profits, eh? Eeeh? I bet we could convince an mba to make that pitch, and could bankrupt a few stores before they realize the idiocy.
I get it's a meme, but I'd be hard pressed to find one thing that's not annoying about shopping in these places.
