Should get a discount or something
-
I've heard self checkout is terrible in the US, however in Europe they're generally pretty nice
idk why people say it's bad! even at fucking Walmart i don't have issues

You support taking away jobs
if you wanna know my actual beliefs on the matter, people shouldn't have to do meaningless labor to live

UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA. Sorry, Jandro, I'm not here to get yelled at by a clanker.
maybe I'm just lucky, but I've never had that particular issue. the only time it's been slightly annoying is if I'm buying alcohol and the people watching self checkout are busy, and other than that, they're easy to use. I don't buy huge chunks of groceries at a time, though, ad I imagine large shops would be annoying

"Please place the item in the bagging area!!!"

Speak for yourself
I mean the level of pressure is lower elsewhere than in Germany, of course it's still easy to feel anxious anywhere
-
fun fact: you can get a discount at a self-checkout! grocery stores hate this one trick!

I know I'm in the minority
Dude look around the comment section. 90% talk about prefering self checkout
Lemmy doesn't exactly reflect the general population.

How can you be faster when you have to both scan and bag everything, whereas at the human checkout you only have to bag?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Because I worked as a package clerk as a kid, some 30 years ago. They spent a week training us to be cashiers and how to pack groceries as optimally and quickly as possible. And most places around here, the timing of the cashier is not good, especially since we usually have to pack our own groceries anyway.

Y'know that grocery stores could simply staff enough checkout registers and then all this self-checkout time-savings goes away, right? The stores - following the airline model - created a problem for the consumer (long checkout lines due to understaffing) and then effectively sold the customer the solution (you do your own labor, but grocery prices stay the same).
"If" in one hand, shit in the other. Which fills up first?

You say it's not a thing anywhere else, but you also say it's easy to feel that way anywhere. Those two statements aren't congruent

[…] Me: "I don't work here"
This gives me big "ok boomer" vibes. Instead of this, imo, snarky response, could you not simply politely say that you prefer a human cashier?
Remember the human.

Self check out is faster especially since I can scan the items when I’m picking them off the shelves. The faster I can be outside and spend less time in those kind of commercial spaces the better. And no I don’t have agoraphobia. I just fucking hate the vibes of most stores.

What does that have to do with taking away jobs? A lot of jobs are meaningless doesn't mean you help corporations save a buck.

This is what I tell my boyfriend anytime there's a line at the cash register but not self-check out

Uhh yeah there's a camera there now, and literally my local grocery store of choice, Food Lion, fucking shows you your ass on its display screen. Which is basically saying "Fucking do it mother fucker, we dare you, we double dog dare you."

I've never been able to do that. It seems like it always gets me on weight. Any tips?
Grab two items, scan only one barcode. That's all I can say. /s

Just accidentally drop and break a gallon of milk on the self checkout machine. Then a human who isn't paid enough to live will take its place.

I suppose you might also leave trash at your seat in a movie theater or restaurant. After all, cleaning up is someone else's job and you don't even work there. Plus, you can pat yourself on the back for contributing to that person's job security with your added burden like some of the people here.
