Self checkouts are one of the best things to ever happen to retail. Thieves and stupid people always fuck shit up.

I once watched a man with cerebral palsy scan a pack of gum. After he stopped shaking that damned thing cost him a hundred dollars!

My local grocery store has a camera over each self-check, as do all stores with self-check, and if it didn't catch the bar code and senses added weight to the bag station, it will call a cashier who can replay in slo-mo the item you scanned and see it you actually scanned it or just dropped it in the bag.
So, theft is a problem with self check? Thieves are going to steal, self check or not. |

Yep, being phased out a lot. Newest thing is helping unload the semi-trucks before you are allowed to enter the store to shop!

Being forced to use self checkout with a week’s worth of groceries and 3 kids under 6 was a form of torture.
my kids are older now but I notice frustrated parents having to do the same while the line for the 1 cashier is 10 people deep. |

I prefer self-checkout, most of my time is wasted waiting for other people to hurry the F up. Self-checkout usually solves it. Most people are too retarded to use the self-checkout correctly. I don't believe that theft goes up as a consequence, I think it is just easier to catch when you replace human beings with machines that record everything.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. They did that here too, but if you look like a normal white person they let you do it yourself anyways. White Privelege Walmart and Lowes doesn't look at my receipts when I walk out the door either. |

They don't have self checkout at the closest store to buy any kind of grocery item. Normally it is me and the owner and he was stocking shelves when I walked in. Rural life.

87% of people don’t know what they are doing in self checkouts. The amount of time needed to process one person is vastly increased. If self checkouts are limited to express lane duty only then they do ok.

I like self check out. If store clerks want to lose their job because they want to talk to Mildred about her family or whatever else (while I wait), then fuck em. Let them lose their job. I don't want to stand in line while the cashier talks to somebody for a few minutes. Nor do I want to wait for someone who I slower than Moses at ringing up my groceries.

We don’t buy meat at a grocery store so no issues there but I can understand that one. |

If I'm getting a handful of items I'll use the self checkout. Usually the cart is packed and the base is loaded up also with 30# of dog food and 40# of salt for the water softener so I'll go to the cashier.

Self checkout just isn't practical when you have a buggy full of groceries. It's fine with a few bags full, but it gets ridiculous with a dozen bags trying to fit it all on the bagging area. Also, the weight thing is a nightmare that way too often fails to work properly. The cameras have to be calibrated so they don't freak out over you not scanning your kid sitting in the buggy. That happens all the time and is good for a laugh.

Self-checkout is fine assuming the person infront is a switched-on looking guy (with or without accompanying female).
If a single mom, or a young or old woman by themselves, find another line. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: At my supermarket over thanksgiving-Christmas they would have three or four cashier registers open, and half a dozen self checkouts. The self checkouts were so busy and chaotic that they had to have a couple of employees helping boomers and retards operate the self checkout, and another couple of employees directing people to available self checkouts because they had long lines and people would actually argue and fight to be next in the fucked up line. How strange....I have seen employees have to help people besides boomers and retards and people from NY because of an item that won't scan or ringing up at a different price etc. Roy |

If I have to buy anything at Home Depot that I know will be locked up like a tool or a battery, I just order it for pick up. It's usually ready in two hours and often times less than that when I get the text. Don't order lumber that way because you will get every crooked 2x4 they have. My local lumber yard is not better though.

I like self check out but will go to a live person if there’s no wait. The best though is ordering online,showing up and having someone bring out my order and load it in the trunk for me five minutes or less after I get there.
