I hate self checkout. If they want to give me a 10% discount in my bill for doing someone else’s job I might consider it.
At our Walmart they installed a huge number of self checkout lanes, which lasted for about a year. People hated and avoided them. Then they put it back to the old way.
I’ve heard that it’s easier to start using those lanes, but IDK if that’s true.
What I really love is no bagging. Everything goes back in the buggy to take to the car. I have real bags in the car. I don’t want to deal with a human. I’m a grown azz man, 44 years as a programmer. I can do this all by myself.
The Walmarts here have few/if any full service lanes open. I was told by a friend that used to work at Walmart that if you ask they are required to check you out even in the self service lanes. Ever since then I make them do it for me if I have a substantial number of items. lol Recently I had about 10 items and when I went to scan the boxed shrimp I was buying I noticed the box was open. So I called the one gal over that was watching the self checkout lanes. I said...this is open I need another one. She said she would save my register while I went to get another one. I said no, you go get it. She said I’m the only one here. Then call someone else to do it. lol She did. I don’t get paid to do all that stuff so I make them do what is supposed to be their job.
