JFC .... Guys we trained fugging cfhimptfanzees to fly in spacecraft in the early 60,s for gawds sakes.
Please master the self check out line for christ sakes. You all are making us young bommers look bad.
It aint the bagging thing. It aint the not on the payroll thing.
It's the tech intimidation thing.
Just try it a couple of times. It is easy once you get over the trepidation of being possibly embarrassed.
Can you get your cigs at the self checkout? askin' for a friend mike r Nooooo... I have ta deal with shanaynay at the cigg aisle/check out for those. And we all know what can happen with that..... LOL!!! I get em at the wally world murphy gas station. Bout 50 to 75 cents less per pack at the murphy. LOL!!!

I don't mind the self scans. I get to bag my stuff the way I want it bagged. I'm a hell of a lot faster than the typical check out clerk. That’s my main reason to use it right there. I get to sort my items the way I want and I put more than 3 items in a bag. If not self checkout, my personal rule is if the natural color of their hair is gone and it is now white, I won’t use them. 4 minutes per item plus the quiz of what I’m going to do with the thick sliced pepper bacon isn’t the reason I went grocery shopping. Lol!!!!

If self checkout is my only choice, I will drop my stuff nearby & leave. Hell yeah Stick it to the man!!! #represent They better recognize when Reloader-Two-Eight rolls in. I wish they had self service meat slicing at the deli. So i wouldn’t have to go thru the whole Ta’Nesha ordeal each time. “Can i hep you” “Yes ma’am. I’d like that all beef German bologna. A pound of it. “ “How tick?” “Oh. You know. Bologna size” “Look at the chert and see what size....” “Yes ma’am. How about a 3”. “A tree?” “ yea ma’am. “ “How dis? “ “That’s shaved, not a 3” “Dis?” “No ma’am. That’s steak size. “ “Dis?” Fug it. “Yes ma’am. That work fine. “. “Her merch again” “One pound”.

I use it at every opportunity.
I like people. But I don't really care to have to deal with said people. Especially the lady that thinks she needs to carry on an in-depth conversation with everyone that comes through her line. Talk about every damn item. Discuss the weather or the latest sale.
Or wait for someone to figure out how to run their card or challenge prices etc.
I can generally get through the self-checkout in way less time. With way less interaction with other customers and store employees.

One of the reasons I didn't pursue a career as a professional checker is that I am not very good at it. If a store insists on me checking myself out, they'll have to live with my mistakes. I absolutely refuse to use them, if the store cannot employ people to serve me then the store can do without my money. No give, no take.. .fuck 'em, I go elsewhere.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

When there’s 42 people in line for the one register they have open, Shakeena’s working it and she went to all three years of 8th grade with half of those in line, yea, it’s faster.

If I have less than 6-7 items, which I almost always do have less than that, I use self checkout.

Scanning a barcode ain’t that hard. Usually no waiting and no stupid small talk. Get in, get out, and get on with my life.

At Sam's Club, we use an App. We scan our items as we put them in the cart. When we're done shopping, we hit finished. It rings it up, show this to the person at the door, they check our phone and out the door we go. No waiting in line to check out.

I don't like em at all, but it's the way things are going to be whether I like it or not. When they first started it years back, I would stand in a line 10 or 15 extra minutes to keep from using a self check. Now, there's not really much choice. You either check yourself out or do without. The only reason they ever went that route is to eliminate a paid employee as someone already posted. On the rare occasion that they do have a live cashier, I'll take advantage of it unless there's a black woman cashier and a black woman customer in line in front of me, because they'll dicker over each item and start the pendulum finger and the chicken neck jive.

Until Safeway can hire people that don’t look like they consumed a vial of lithium before coming to work....I’ll continue to use self checkout.
Yup.

Some of them, like our grocery store. will freeze up if you take anything off the tray before checking out. If you go through with a lot of stuff, you can't get it all on the tray. Others, like Wallys and Home Depot, have a hand scanner so you don't even have to take big stuff out of the cart. MUCH better.

You guys who don't like self checkouts - how much extra do you pay to have an attendant pump your gas? (yeah, I know you have to have them do it in OR).

I don't know - they used to call that "suicide".
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

I have avoided self checkouts from the beginning. Except for cash outlets .
