They understaffed, and it sucked. Now you do all the work and are apparently happy about it. Go figure.

No they did not understaff. It is normal to wait if you want an unscheduled 1on1. It was always like that and it was always normal.
I tried pre-booking my checkout session, but the safeway never returned my calls.
Given that every store (and damn near every establishment for that matter) has been understaffed for the past 20-ish years, can you blame them?
Yeah, actually I can. Understaffed just means you’re not paying well enough.
Look what happened recently in new york. $30/hour to shovel snow got them a lineup out the door of people wanting to work.
Those companies made the choice to prioritize profit margins above staffing.
You're blaming the store, which I agree with. My question was whether you could blame the GP, or the consumer in general. They have little control over how much the staff of their grocery store is being paid.

Retail business profit margins have always been low single digit percentages. More staff can only mean higher prices. I'll gladly scan my own stuff to have lower prices and be able to get out quicker.
