How do you feel about self checkouts

I think it exists at Victoria’s Secret. When you go into the dressing rooms, there’s a screen in there that tells you all the stuff you’re trying on and lets you ping an employee to get a new size/color, etc. Kinda freaked me out at first - like, WTF?! You got spy cams in here or what?! But when I got home to take off the tags, I noticed there was an extra one sewn in, that looked like the others, but was stiffer, so I’m guessing that had the sensor in it. Thought that was pretty cool after all.

That's sweet
 
Completely depends on how much shit I'm buying.

Stiffer? Congratulations, I guess.

What did you buy there?

Asking for a friend.
 
I prefer the self-checkout if I only have a few items (which is typical). I don't have to wait behind a line of people with full carts.
Also as others have said there's not a lot of space to put your items once I've scanned them.
I rarely go to a big grocery store anyway since they're 15 miles away.

I typically go to the local small town Mom&Pop grocery store 2 miles away for what little I need. They don't have a self checkout, just one cashier. They are a bit more expensive and less selection, but it's one of those 'Use it or lose it' issues in my mind. If I just need some milk or bread they're just a couple minutes away. Once in there I'll grab some other things that catch my eye or are on my list.

Other small towns around here had Mom&Pop grocery stores at one time, but people (particularly families) would go to the bigger city grocery stores because they were cheaper.
Said Mom&Pop stores closed due to lack of business and now people regret not using them more because the convenience for one or two items is gone.

Self Checkouts never evolved
You were suppose to be able to push your entire cart thru a scanner by now, all at one time, and it reads everything.

Yep
Nice and easy.
No hassle.
Quick.

Of course that never happened.

It did happen, just not in the major stores.
 
Who the fuck goes to the grocery store for one or two items, unless they had just been to that store buying a bunch of shit, and forgot something and had to double back? I'll use the shit then, I guess?:noidea:

If I'm going to the store, it's a minimum of $150 in Biden's shithole America, and I'm not rolling thru self checkout with a cart full of groceries and booze.

Self checkout is just desensitizing and normalizing the robot revolution. Ain't none of you bitches gonna have jobs if ya keep enabling this shit.

@moxie's the only one who's had it right so far. I did not come this far in my life, to ring up and bag my own fucking groceries. I already gotta load 'em into my fucking cart cuz there ain't no bitch there to do it? Now you want me to price check shit too? Fuck you...pay me, or fuck off.

In summary, fuck self-checkout. It's for fags that back into parking spots.
 
Easy to mess with the scales if you get the hot bar.

At least that's what I've heard.
 
They work fine as long you don't have a ton of items. They aren't really designed for it considering you can only bag so much at a time and every machine I've ever used starts to freak out that you're stealing stuff when you start putting the bags back in your cart and you still have other items to be scanned. They're basically the new express lane since most stores have taken them out

Honestly, I don't like it at grocery stores. At a bigger store or in cases where I'm buying one or two things it's certainly faster and more convenient, but at a grocery store when I'm buying food for my family, it's a pain in the balls.

Way back in the day, one of my buddies used to beat the system by buying an expensive bottle of wine using a cheap (same size bottle) UPC. So he'd get a $30-$40 bottle of wine for $8.

It's not the end of my world, but I sort of like them because I get out of the store quicker.

They're good in certain circumstances when I'm not buying very many things.

But I draw the line at the doctor's office. I want to be checked out by a cute nurse at least.

The problem at the stores around me is they’ve taken these machines as an opportunity to dramatically cut staffing at the regular registers and forcing people with way too much stuff to the self-check. There is often a line of people six deep just to get to the self-check even if you do only have a few things.
