Dogs are allowed in the store??? This must be a California thing... Awesome job on the award! You done good!

Around here, at least, dogs are not supposed to be in stores unless they are service dogs (or if it's a pet store, I guess). And we've all heard horror stories of stores that turned away service dogs -- which is illegal. So I wondered if that woman needed a seeing-eye dog (she did lose her glasses at one point?). And then I just got carried away; I figured she needed two more dogs for being brain-damaged...

I'm amazed dogs are allowed in the store, too. Here it's service dogs only, too. I LOVE dogs, but I really would prefer to buy garden supplies that hadn't been peed on. Love, R xxx

You need to do a customer of the day! I sometimes have a taxpayer of the day, and it's often very amusing. When you haven't had to live through it.

Can't believe dogs are allowed in the store. Never seen that except at Pet stores! Way to go on the Homer. Is the next award a Bart award??

Woohoo! I'm glad they gave you the award. You deserve it for all the hard work you've been doing!

Okay, I have sat here for ten minutes wondering about the line, "not using the quantity key more than I have to" What does that mean? If someone buys 2 of something, I would think it would be 2 @ $.59 or whatever. How else would you do it?

Congrats on the award!! I knew it wouldn't be long till you were recognized for how awesome you are!! I think the dogs in stores thing is a West Coast phenomenon. People would bring their dogs into our local foo-foo grocery store, which totally grossed me out. I don't mind service dogs at all, but I'm sure these pets should be left behind at home. I haven't seen many dogs here in stores since moving to Rhode Island. You see them in PetSmart, of course, but that's about it.

Congrats on the Homer award! Cool beans! I wonder if WM gives out 'Wally' awards, or 'Sammy' awards.....hmmmm......I have found that the 'quantity key' is a no-no at WM as well. First I was told we couldn't use it for under 6 items, then I was told that everything must be scanned. A lady had a fit yesterday when I had to scan her case of Top Ramon noodles (all 24 of them)as well as her 12 cans of cat food. Her receipt was a mile long! I tried to explain that it was an 'inventory thing' and she said she was "gonna write a letter!" I just smiled and said that would be a great idea! LMAO

Ya, I was gonna say the same thing--they allow dogs in HD? It MUST be a Cali thing... in NJ only "service" animals are allowed in stores and such.(I often wonder if someone could justify bringing in their teeny dogs if they trained them to be guide dogs... like a chihuahua who yips when there's a curb or a wall in the way. hehe... Have you met my DEMENTED side? :)

Congrats on the Homer award -- I'm not surprised you are one of their valued employees. A local motorcycle shop lets dogs in, and the other day they found a pile of poo in a corner. Yikes! I've tried the self-check at Wally-World mostly because they have only a few real-people cash registers. It must be me, but the self-checks are a pain in the arse. Something always goes wrong and I end up asking for help. Ugh!
