I went to the new Walmart at Mae Anne & McCarren last night, and will not go back there for quite awhile!

It was a zoo, too many people checking it out, and while they had half of the registers open of course the checkers are new and had their share of checkout problems. And of course I got in a line that ended up checking out slower than the rest. (I learned late in my line-waiting that it was the 1 register for people buying cigarettes -- I'll never do that again.)
To cap it off - the lady in front of me wrote a check for $20 over -- but the cashier forgot to enter the over amount. So, she couldn't take the check as-is since her register had already recorded the lower amt, and then wouldn't balance. She had to call a supervisor which of course took some more minutes. The supervisor told her there was no way to fix it, but to back everything out, and re-ring everything. (And of course, there were LOTS of items.) Us people in the line were ready to riot.
