I only hate that I don't read every stupid little sign on each machine, because I'm finding that some stores make one or two machines credit card only.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The trick to skipping the lines is to go early in the morning. Don't be surprised when the store is full of assholes and long lines of retards when you go shopping on a saturday afternoon. I am retired and Wal Mart here shuts down 70 percent of the self checkouts during non peak hours so I still wait in lines. |

Grocery store I usually go to its nearly twice as fast to get through the regular checkout than the self checkout. Ever watch someone who doesnt work at a grocery store try to bag? Half the self checkouts are card only and you always see someone trying to pay cash there (the signs are very small and hard to see if you havent been there before).

It all sucks.
There’s usually a line at the self checkout cause even during peak hours, there’s only like 1 or 2 actual cashiers working and people can’t seem to grasp the concept of how to scan their shit and put it in a bag. The cashiers are usually some diversity hire with no hurry slowly checking people out. Even curbside pickup sucks a lot of the times now. The number of times I’ve gotten the text that it’s ready and you do the process to let them know you’re there and what’s parking spot you’re in, I’ve had it take 20-30 minutes for them to finally bring it out. The scan-n-go at Sam’s Club is the shit though. Then the only line I deal with is the one waiting for the senior citizen at the exit to check everyone’s receipt. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Scan and go for me Yep, I'm a fan of how I bag my stuff, not how they do it. One of our local gas station has a little stand that you just put your stuff on and it automatically knows what you've got (built in scanner and camera) and spits out the total. It's super quick for me since most of the people will still wait in line for the clerk to ring them up. |

Let me parse this info for those that have trouble reading FAFO, it's a tough language to learn:
Shithead, defund the police, liberal supporting, companies tried to save some bucks by going self-checkout honor-system style. The assholes they have allowed to continue to roam the streets have taken advantage of the situation and stolen ungodly amounts of inventory. Asshole companies will now be rolling back self checkouts in shitty areas they helped, by way of election donations, to become even more shitty. Don't worry. They will still support liberals, they just need to not lose as much money as they were (2024, they need all the money they can to help Sleepy Joe). If you live in a nice, safe, crime free area you will still have self checkouts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The double scanning thing is incredibly stupid and I don't know why it isn't disabled, especially at places that have receipt checkers anyway. I can understand needing an override for high dollar items or if more than two or three items are removed in a single session, but you shouldn't need an override every time. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I wind up standing in lines on the self checkouts too. Especially when people bring full cartloads; the machines are not built to make handling that much stuff easy and quick; or when random items require a worker to show up and say "yes he's of age, he can buy this." or you accidentally double scan something and have to wait for them to take it off. Agreed if you're honest enough to scan the item you're honest enough to correct if you make a mistake. Thieves won't scan the item at all or will scan a lower price item for a Higher One. |

By Thomas Germain Published5 hours ago Comments (129) Photo: Reshetnikov_art / Shutterstock.com (Shutterstock) Don’t ring the funeral bells just yet, but the self-checkout kiosk horror show could be nearing its end. So far, the grand experiment in robot cashiers is an abject failure. Stores across the country are reversing course on the machines, and consensus is growing among analysts and insiders that self-checkout has been a disaster for consumers and retailers alike, according to a new report in the BBC. The machines aren’t disappearing anytime soon, but if nothing else, you can expect fewer stores to force them on you in the near future. In 2023, Target restricted self-checkout kiosks in some stores to ten items or less. Walmart pulled the machines out of a number of locations altogether. Booths, a British grocery chain, abandoned self-checkout. Dollar General made enormous bets on self checkout tech in 2022, but it recently announced the project flopped. On a December earnings call, Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos said the retailer is planning to increase the number of employees in stores, particularly in the checkout area, in a major reversal of its checkout strategy. “We had relied and started to rely too much this year on self-checkout in our stores,” Vasos told investors. “We should be using self-checkout as a secondary checkout vehicle, not a primary.” The biggest problem is theft. Not only is it easy to steal from self-checkout machines, it can be hard not to steal from them. Shoppers are reportedly 21 times more likely to sneak items past machines than human cashiers, but consumers also constantly steal unintentionally because the self-checkout process can be so cumbersome. One in five shoppers reported that they’ve accidentally stolen items during self-checkout in a survey from Lending Tree. One in seven said they’ve stolen from self-checkout on purpose. Not only do self-checkout machines double theft rates, they actually increase labor costs thanks to employees who get taken away from their other duties to help customers deal with the confusing and error prone kiosks. Overall, some analysts say the machines increase costs overall, which is especially painful news for the industry because they’re so expensive to install. A system of four machines can cost upwards of six figures. Still, 60% of consumers said they prefer self-checkout as of 2021, presumably because they’ve never seen Terminator (wake up sheeple). That’s true even though 67% said they’ve had self-checkout machines fail. But a growing number of consumers are souring on self-checkout, thanks to endless frustrations, accusations of theft, and wasted time.

If they are not trying to fuck you on price, they just plain don't work. When Im with my wife, I wont even scan anything. My wife finds a problem at least 50% of the time, where we never have a problem anywhere else. It's the only store where people at the kiosks tell others to watch thier item prices. And this is all the time. Its widely known and talked about around here. And by now, if it was a flaw, it would have been fixed. Does Wisconsin have a 3x refund on the difference if the price charged is higher then the actual sale price? I used to clean up at Meijers in Mi every time before I stopped going there entirely. They do it on purpose, I am convinced of it. |

Leave it to corporate retail stores to fuck up a good thing and alienate customers.
Self checkout solved a lot of problems and delays that exist within these stores. The people that don't like them probably have no reservations about bringing everything to a grinding halt while they whip out their checkbooks after demanding a price check. Oh well. Don't have to deal with this shit when I shop online instead.  |

Well that article was full of bullshit.
Store will have one employee covering 6 to 10 self checkouts. That's a huge manpower savings, not counting stores that actually have people that bag items. Most check out people are barely functioning idiots. I will do anything to not deal with them. I love the Kroger self checkout because I can get $59.95 cash back for a $0.50 charge. That gives me one's, fives and pocket change. Even if it were true their people were accidentally not ringing things up, stores still have more theft from internal issues than accidental self checkout issues. As for people stealing on purpose, check out the numbers for people who steal on purpose because their friend works at the store and is not ringing up items. This sounds like a bullshit pro-union, pro $20 minimum wage article. |

I love self check out and probably have only gone to a regular cashier maybe once in 5 years since theyve been gone big at the few stores I go to. Two things I hate about it. They can be error prone. Something doesnt scan right or isn't weighed right when put in the bag carousel and it pops up on error that require the attendant to clear to compound that frustration it can be hit or miss if the attendant is even around to help clear it at my Kroger. They had some shit birds a year or two ago that were always off chatting up the cashiers and it was frustrating having to walk down and find them even when their hand held pad was telling them to come help. Second thing is the time it takes scanning produce. 2/3rds of my items are produce and the user interface to find each item is clunky and slow. You could save a shit ton of time if they had the main produce screen list say the top 20-30 purchased produce items you could select (hell they could just have a laminated print out of the top 100 produce SKUs in alphabetical order posted above the screen you could just eyeball and enter on the fly).

self checkout at ALDI is pretty decent, just zap all the things with the gun and pay.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did they also stick the power tool batts and small lengths of electrical wire in locked cases which nobody is ever around to open? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The Home Depot near me turned the self checkout into “pay for old women who can barely operate the machines to operate the machines for you” because of theft. It’s infuriating. Did they also stick the power tool batts and small lengths of electrical wire in locked cases which nobody is ever around to open? Yes, and they don't bother checking to see if it's a full spool when someone returns it. I needed 50' of 10-3, and brought the package to the checkout. When I couldn't find a barcode, I took it back to electrical and we found that a thief had cut about 7' off of it. The guy in electrical said that the returns people don't check anything when it's returned, they just issue a refund. I think the self-checkout is the last place to look for theft. |

You can bet that the stores that are removing self check out now will be closing that store in a year or two. And like night follows day, there will be urban leaders screaming about "food deserts" in the inner city because there are no grocery stores left there. It is all so tiring. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I prefer ordering on a app and have them bring it to my car. This is what I do. It is too easy. I don’t mind self-checkout. The problem is when you get a really old person or just a slower person on one or two of the stations. The barcode is on the bottom of the packing. You don’t need to look for the barcode, just assume it is on the bottom. Watch how cashiers scan items and then do the same. Always assume it is card only and done deal. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does Wisconsin have a 3x refund on the difference if the price charged is higher then the actual sale price? I used to clean up at Meijers in Mi every time before I stopped going there entirely. They do it on purpose, I am convinced of it. @fxntime Not that I know of. I think I would have heard about it by now. Especially there. I'm the guy that walks his cart back. If I decide I don't want something or something else, I'm that guy that walks it all the way back and returns it where I got it, not just dump it in the aisle. But Meijer's machines infuriate people. When I've tried to use them and they start ripping me off or not working, I just walk away and leave it all there to go somewhere else. I tell the constantly frustrated self check out worthless worker that their system is trying to rip off people with wrong prices. I know two other people that have done the same. I'm to the point that I won't go there. I'll go with my wife and she catches a lot of mistakes. The attendant just clears it and allows it through. They don't even care, it happens so much. The thing that blows me away is the shoppers are very verbal in looking out for others. "Make sure you check the prices here when you scan. They try to rip you off." is common to hear. It's 110% intentional. I'm glad stores are reconsidering. |

Self checkouts are awesome. Why not just execute all thieves? Nah, let’s just punish the civilized instead.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I hate anything but self checkout In fact I refuse to use a checkout where I have to interact with another person Same. Why does everyone want to talk to a grocery store cashier so badly? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A cart full of items with RFID's could be pushed through a scanner, and your credit card with its RFID could be automatically debited as you leave the scanner. Not sure how it would work with EBT cards... There is already a system in place for EBT cards. You put the items in your cart and walk out the door. |
