My husband always uses the self check out claiming it is faster but he always leaves fuming because the stupid thing did not work right and you have to wait for the poor clerk to come and fix it.
I always use the cashier and by pass the whole thing.
The exception is if I have just a couple of items, then I might risk the self checkout.
I avoid the self checkout. I’ve had too many experiences where the system gets messed up, and then you have to wait for an employee to come and fix it. In the worst case, you might have to go search through the store to find someone who works there to come and fix it.
I wonder what the shoplifting problems are like in stores which use a lot of self checkout lanes. I’ve heard anecdotal evidence that some people “forget” to scan a few items and get away with stealing that way.
The newest ones seem to be finally working good. My problem is separating and opening the plastic bags.
lol
The poor guy :)
I go shopping usually very late or very early because of the hours I work so there is NO cashier in the CVS I go to at that time.
And sometimes I wait 10 minutes just for someone to come over and fix the darn machine.
