I was at Lowe's last night to make a small purchase. There were no live cashiers. The self-checkout had four positions and one attendant. All four were occupied by people who couldn't figure out how to use them. Instead of facilitating faster throughput, I was trapped waiting on inept shoppers who accessed the checkout terminal ahead of me. Eventually one spot opened and I processed my purchase in under a minute to scan, pay and clear the spot.

“I was trapped waiting on inept shoppers who accessed the checkout terminal ahead of me.”

I feel your pain. I’m amazed at how stupid people really are. The self check out is nothing new but I always seem to get stuck behind the retards that don’t know hiw to use them.

liberals hate it because they think it takes away jobs
we hate it because “why would i, i don’t work here, give me a discount.”

I did a self checkout the other day when there was an open register. Took me longer because you have to scan one thing at a time and type in “bananas” etc. Sometimes I had to look for the bar code on one of six sides of an item, when the professional cashier has seen that item 100 times. I would have gotten through quicker with a human cashier. Live and learn.

Our local Lowe’s still has humans in the garden and contractor sections.

Heck I went to Lowes and spent two and a half hours trying to buy a roll around tool box. It was on a shelf and the only (they said) guy who could use the fork lift was in a meeting.
Evidently passing gas with the boss is more important than a $450.00 sale.
Still trying to break the 15 minute checkout there.
