Good. Self checkouts are bullshit. I'm doing work and not getting a discount...fuck that.

Depends. I like them for convenience but if you have a grocery cart full of items, no way, especially how they normally design the self-checkout kiosks as they are not conducive for storing many items while still checking out prior to bagging.

If you ever have to wait in line for a self-checkout then the retail establishment, then shame on them as they are not willing to discount and pay for folks to check you out.

Also the other part of this is, it is hard to find folks who want to do that job: get paid min wage, have to directly interact with all the Karen's of the world, need to deal with the excessive coupon'ers and have to touch everything that is checked out not knowing who all touched it prior.

Me inputting the code for bananas when I buy avocados is my revenge for them taking away plastic bags and charging me for either paper bags or those shitty reusables that are made in a massive polluting Chinese sweatshop anyway and shipped across the pacific on a diesel freighter.

My local grocery store usually has 1 or 2 lanes open with checkout people and about 15 people standing around pointing you to open self check out lanes.
Added bonus fun: my county just banned plastic bags so when you self check out and bring your own, like the store suggests, every time you put a reusable bag down the computer yells about an unscanned item.

I can't stand Krogers self-checkout. They have the bagging area and if you remove a bag filled with groceries, to make more room, that were already scanned prior to paying, the kiosk will yell and make you put the bag back before you can proceed.

All Sprouts in the US are making you pay for the plastic bags, which is fine, since they are making them reusable. Also, they don't have self-checkouts.

My store used to have the issue when you removed a scanned bag of groceries. Luckily they fixed that.

I like the no plastic bag rule, I just wished the check out worked better. And that I could remember my bags.

I started leaving mine in the trunk for that reason, if not they would just sit at the house. I do have nice collection of reusable bags due to how often I forgot in the past.

I go to Aldi for most things and another grocery store for things Aldi doesn't have or brand name things that are better than Aldi's generic one. Aldi is ALWAYS faster to go through a staffed lane, and not self checkout.

The grocery store I shop at has scan as you go. Using their app, you scan the barcode of every item with your phone and you bag it in your cart. When ready to checkout you go to a different terminal and someone there spot checks like 5 items to make sure you aren't scamming and you pay and leave. I love when all the lines are super long and I go up and am out the door in five minutes. Those terminals are only for the scan and go, so I don't have to wait while some doofus tries to scan his grapes by wiping them on the screen at self checkout.

My wife does that and suggested I do that too. If I did it would be admitting she was right, so I am not there yet.

I use the scan and go app at Sam’s Club, makes it so much easier.

Aldi has it all down pat from the checkout, handling of carts and keeping prices low. Granted there are certain items you shouldn’t purchase there.

 

[thedddd]

On the other hand about Sam’s Club:

Sam's Club to scan your cart instead of checking your receipt at exit

The Walmart-owned warehouse club is using computer vision instead of receipt checks to verify purchases at 10 locations before a nationwide rollout.

Yeah I would rather wait those few seconds for the person to verify vs an AI system saying I didn’t pay for something to now have to wait for an actual human to verify anyway.

lol… I accepted that fate and hence why they are in the car.

A campaign slogan of “ I’m gonna choke the shit outta those damn protestors”may work in today’s society.
