its funny at one regional market here, the cashiers are fed up with people being stupid and neet help or are even stealing. so sadly its disabled most of the time. at a different place, there keeps being a loooong line, but literaly noone uses the self checkout. it is so useful. if i forgot something or just gotta get coffee beans, i quickly swing by that place because i know no matter how busy it is, i dont have to wait in line xD

But there's also a line for self checkout.

There are two stores at the end of the road into my neighborhood. The one on the other side has several self checkout stations so I exclusively go there now. I haven’t had to speak to anyone in months. It’s awesome

Idk why people complain about self checkout. I absolutely despise having to interact with someone at the store. The fact that I have to be around all these people is bad enough please don't make me talk to them.

I only complain about them when they get mad about me using my own unweighed bags or moving products around on the out feed table as I pack the bags.

Self-checkout is the best thing that happened to shops, I wish more had it. No waiting in long lines, no talking to people. Perfect.

Seriously, you want me to do the job of a cashier and a bagger, give me a 15% discount or go fuck yourself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Where do you have baggers?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In stores that haven't outsourced that, free of charge, to the customer already.

No need to be rude, I was just curious. And I meant the country, should have specified.

Anyways, I have only seen that in specialised shops and find it very unecessary, so I ask them not to do that, but to each their own.

ah yes lets make things harder on service workers just because they exist. Make some random stocker that's already been repeatedly threatened to be fired for not meeting targets stop what they're doing and come ring you up and scan all your shit. If they're lucky the boss will let them stay over and work off the clock to get their stuff done. As someone who has 2 degrees and is underemployed because our society is corrupt and broken: fuck this type of behavior. Fuck people who bully service workers. I suppose next there will be a meme about bullying fast food workers for being worthless members of society. ha. ha. where funny.
