    People complaining about self checkouts, why do You use them? You can just simply stand in line for 20 minutes just like in the 90s.

      because it’s a transfer of labor, at an expense to all of us. where 12 aisles used to be open on a weekend, now 1 is with a 8 spot self check.

      i used to do cashier work at my store. back in the 90’s of course.

      it’s all just a way to make more profit.

      if i scan it and it fails twice, i steal it. and play stupid if seen. i never give a receipt if asked. i know they’re just a worker, underpaid, and UFCW doesn’t care about them, so i just keep walking and never press it. but yeah. fuck the self checks, even IF you still use the main line.

      I once had a dude working on monitoring the self checkouts get mad at me for having a bag that made the machine freak out and lock itself down when I sat it in the bagging area. Nothing crazy, just a normal canvas grocery bag. I don’t control your manager setting it so that anything heavier than the paper store bags set it off, dude!

    If your checkout has a handheld scanner, try using that for the tricky items. It might disregard the weight.

    Where is that a problem? Where I’m from self checkouts work fine. I’m not even coming into a store unless it has a self checkout.
