My experience with Walmart+ (lemmy.world)

What do you guys think about Walmart+? Service has good value, or just another way a company can suck more money out of consumers while providing the bare minimum of service and quality?

Smearing it all over the counter would only ruin the day for one or more of their wage slaves, of course WM wouldn't care if you did that.

Those workers are paid the same whether they're helping customers or cleaning sunflower butter off the counter. Sunflower butter isn't particularly disgusting or difficult to clean. Every minute a worker spends cleaning it up is a minute not spent doing things that would actually earn money for the company.

Tell me you've never worked customer service without telling me you've never worked customer service.

I have worked customer service.

Would you rather be stocking shelves or cleaning mystery goo that a customer smeared on your workspace? Are the people working at Walmart other human beings with feelings or objects to be punished in a war against corporations?

With what degree of certainty would you be able to say that the mystery goo you're cleaning off of your counter has not been spit in or mixed with something really nasty by said vindictive and out of touch customer?
