Walmart plastic bags that won't separate. (Venting) [View all]

Walmart plastic bags that won't separate. (Venting)

Cashier lines were very busy/full. Not enough cashiers.

Tried self-service register but the plastic bags won't separate for old folks with bad hands.

Finally left the cart.

If they don't want to provide helpful service, let them put it away.

Getting old and cranky?

No. Gotten!

We have seen other companies that can get bags that are user friendly.
