| - I thought this Fry's closed a little later on a Friday night - either 11pm or midnight.
Nope. 10pm. I got there, knowing what I wanted and needed. My friend also got what she wanted as well...no announcements that the store was closing. My friend and I were at the self-checkout...for the record, I hate those things because I feel like they're taking away from the workforce, but that's just me, though.
Anyway, the lone cashier that was open looked like she had a huge line, so I opted to use the self-checkout.
I got my stuff and my friend started to ring up her purchases...*machine stops working*
"Oh, were you going to buy that? I thought you were both done. I turned off the registers." and continued to make a fuss about what a pain it was to turn them back on. Really? Turn the key to the right. That's all she has to do...unless she needs to call in a manager or something. I don't know about their procedures to re-open registers.
I kept thinking, "No, she's just going to walk out with it."
Instead my friend said, "Well, since it's clearly so much hassle for you to turn the registers on, then I'll take my business elsewhere. There are other stores that are open."
"Oh no, it's not that...let me turn on the registers again."
Somehow she made it sound like she was doing us the favor...and she turned a key and entered in a code and VOILA! the register was open again...all that attitude from the person monitoring the self-checkout just to have her turn a key and enter a code? Lame.
At the end, when she realized that it wasn't a $2.00 purchase, she was all smiles.
Long story short: go before closing, preferably before the sun sets because it's a little scary...and the parking lot is a little on the dirty side, as was the rest of the store. I saw where some people had munched on donuts, then tossed them into a shelf, hiding it behind some items, hoping it wouldn't be spotted. GROSS.
