So true, especially if you don’t waste time paying for what you take.

LOL.

One time sink is when you have to ring the bell at the register and wait for the (sole) employee to stop stocking the shelves and come up to ring you out.[*]

The Dollar Tree/Family Dollar in the same parking lot at least almost always has 1 or 2 people at the front. Rarely do you need to ring the bell.
Thing is, it's usually different people each week. The employee turnover is massive.



* Note that we are a 17,000 population gated community in the mountains (the stores are just outside the gate) and the nearest, um, diverse population is 25 miles away.
The DT/FD there has bars on the windows & doors.
