They absolutely suck..Every other item it tells me to remove it, and reverses the entry..If I had a baseball bat..I'd beat it to death. I finally just left my cart, full of goods, and walked out.
WalMart seems to be trying to force people to use them...limiting the number of open cashiers...even when lines are long..
>>Apologies in advance..I want to ask a different, though related question: Has anyone tried to use the new self-checkout machines at WalMart?
I use them every time. Same for Winn-Dixie and Home Depot. If you follow the directions and know how to use a bar scanner, they work flawlessly.
A couple years ago I did some captain midnight assisting an NCR rep install those things one night. Assembling those things was a very tedious exercise. Since they have to be so precise it understandable.
I haven’t had many problems at WalMart or Home Depot, but used to have a lot of problems at Kroger. Tells you to put your item in the bag, and then complains that there is an unexpected item in the bagging area. You remove the item, and it tells you to put it back; repeat.
I use them every chance I get. It least I don’t have to wait in those long lines.
I use them all the time, but my old man ran a grocery store when I was a kid so I know how to bag, scan (which we didn’t have back then), and even look up the food. But that’s just me.
