Increase in abandons

[IhateOPmodel]

Has anyone noticed that since this whole pandemic started an increase in abandoned items left laying all over the store? I have found people are just leaving whole arm fulls of stuff in the aisles etc. I wonder what causes this.

I was told by a team member they found a guest trying on clothes in the mirror aisles in home and left all unwanted clothes on the floor.

The Devil took the wheel long ago but I think even he’s abandoned us at this point..

I was at Walmart a week ago to pick up an online order. I had intended to do some shopping too. It was way more crowded and crazy than I expected (I expected it to be like my Target store but it wasn't) and I practically had a panic attack with all the people getting way to close to me so I left my cart and left.

no, significantly less for us

Oh yeah, they are still finding abandons everywhere, though maybe a bit less than before. Even with the fitting rooms closed and no returns, we are still getting reshop in Style, and most areas.

Many people are bored at home so they go out to "go shopping," but they are just doing it to leave the house and have no intention of buying anything.

Along with limiting the number of guests, we should have a periodic reminder of a temporary "no loitering in or outside the store" for the coronavirus quarantine period. This would reduce people hanging out simply to get out of the house, while others might have to wait at the door for these loitering times to ring up their purchases (if any) and get out. These aren't normal times....

I’m finding more abandoned carts. Generally empty though.

To quote a TL circa Holidays 2001, "Just be grateful we aren't working at Walmart."

i don't know if i would be willing to brave a walmart in the current climate for fear of exactly the scene you described.

Jesus take the wheel so both my hands are free to ring this guest's neck.










Choke now. Ask forgiveness later. That's my motto.

Yes. Especially in front of the mirrors. Which means people are trying stuff on 😡😡 I try to warn people that they're closed before they get to the back and dump their crap.

My theory: The considerate people are staying home or not shopping as much, so a greater percentage of guests are just assholes who DGAF and just leave shit everywhere.
