A Reddit post by a self-identified employee briefly outlined a behavior that can irritate a Walmart worker. They wrote, “If [I] have one more person bring me $500 worth of groceries to my electronics register at 8:29 and say, ‘Can [I] buy these here?’, I’m gonna lose it.” Well, that is a reasonable complaint. Other Reddit users agreed. One commenter noted that as an employee at the store, they dodge such tricky customers by saying that they cannot deal with grocery items and are only allowed to check out electronics.

A customer wondered why people choose to go all the way to the electronics counter to buy all the non-electronics they picked out: “In every Walmart I’ve been in, electronics is in the back of the store. Wouldn’t they have to walk past the normal registers anyway? Why are people trying to check out groceries back there?” Other commenters chimed in and explained that people want to avoid queues and long waiting times. But that slows down the employees in the electronics section.
