Self Checkout at Stores

[Jason76]

Some people don't like it, so they will make fun of it on social media. Myself, I don't really care one way or the other? What do you feel about it?

I love self-checkout...with one exception...the grocery store when I do my main weekly shopping. I tried doing self-checkout once for my weekly grocery shopping, and it took forever since I didn't know the produce codes and had to look them up on the system. Coupons were a pain to use too at that particular store.

But for other shopping trips, I find I'm faster than the paid checkout people.

I am very thankful that we have self-checkout in stores now. I always used to hate standing around in huge queues waiting for others to be served and now I can be in a store and back out again within such a short space of time making things so much less stressful and easier.

I hate self checkouts. I can never scan my items correctly. It’s such a hassle to scan everything and bag it up myself.

Some people dislike it cause they say it takes away jobs from people. These people also claim they're not being paid by the store.

Anyway, I think it's making too big a deal about it and they do hire people to watch those self-checking.

You’re one of those people, John? 😱

I can’t figure out the stupid barcodes man. Don’t blame me.

Learn your produce codes.

But seriously, self checkout isn’t a problem so long as they don’t have the scale setting on in the bagging area. The stores with scales (like CVS) are horrible to use, as the weights they have on file for different items never seem to be correct.

You just scan over the barcode. You don't have to know anything special, unless it's some strange situation where it's not working.

I love the self-checkouts at stores.
It saves time and is much easier as you scan and bag your items yourself.

I generally prefer them but ever increasing food prices might well see shops switch back to more traditional payment methods where it's harder to steal.
