In my area, Target is far less crowded and has very short waits at checkout because they actually have people staffing the registers.

Walmart will have one cashier at the special register line where they sell cigarettes, during the dinnertime rush when there are 30 people up front wanting to check out.

Then there will be somebody telling you that if you don't need cigarettes, go wait in the massive line at self checkout.

I don't mind paying a couple percent more for goods if they are paying cashiers with that cash so I can go home sooner.

If those same couple bucks are what is keeping the store and parking lot less crowded... I'll take it. Walmart is a hellhole over here.
