Work retail in a modern store long enough to be promoted to manager and you'll realize - it IS a "me first" attitude you have.
In the meantime, everyone who walked out after you? Meant the person behind THEM was next. So thank you for freeing up the line for those who just wanted to wait their turn, get their stuff, and leave with product in hand. And for those who didn't want to have to go home, order it online, wait a day or more to get what they asked for, and hope it was the right one/fit/not damaged.
Your loss was their gain.
You also gave the managers more things to do other than folding sweaters, so that's a bonus. I'm sure they would've preferred to be running the register to get entitled twerps out of their store faster, so putting all that stuff away will hopefully be a welcome distraction.

Well, as I said in my first post, I told them to tell their bosses that people can buy this stuff on the internet. My point being that someone at Dicks was using an outdated concept. That model might have made sense if my choices were between standing in a long line and not having the goods I wanted. But those days are gone.
Instead my choice was between standing in a long line or buying these goods from the comfort of my recliner, and not standing in a line, and not paying for gasoline, and not spending 40 minutes round trip to buy my stuff in their brick and mortar location.
I believed the sweater folders when they said they couldn't open a register. Hopefully Dicks is smart enough to get feedback from the employees on the floor when they find their sales dwindling. Maybe not. Maybe they'd just rather cry about how internet sales are ruining their business.
