I LOVE THE SELF CHECKOUT LANES !!!!!!!

there are times I don’t WANT to ‘interact”...HA! and its sooo fast. the only problem is the register shouts out what goes through..ha

“Put your bannanas in the bag!”
“Put your wine in the bag!”
“Put your whipped cream in the bag!”
“Put your prophylactics in the bag!”

Ha.

You love them? I avoid them like the plague. It’s like having to bus your dishes at a restaurant — like doing their work for them. Plus, the checkers are always over there helping people, because they don’t work really well. Or folks cannot figure out the commands, etc. There are too many variables — works great for straight-forward items, not so great for little things, odd shapes, etc. I do not like them at all.

I always use the self checkout. Lets me pack my bags the way I want.

Besides, who needs to interact with a checkout person when we have FR?

Boy, I sure hope my local adult film rental place doesn’t install one of those things. :-)

One time I selected Spanish for the language to blurt out my purchases. That way nobody would know what I was buying.

However, I live in Los Angeles, and as I looked around I quickly realized that 95% of the people in the store knew precisely what the machine was saying.

The affiliate of the Albertson’s chain here in the Chicago area (Dominick’s) has long belt fed self service lanes, so that’s how I miss being told to put each thing in the bag. But there is room for more things to be bagged that way.
