i usually use self check out. i don’t mind now but was not a fan in the beginning.
I LOVE self checkout. I am a DIY guy for everything. I don’t have to deal with PEOPLE at checkout.
EVERYTHING (now) has a barcode. Even most produce, but you can always look it up.
I refuse to pay for their POS bags. It’s easy, just put the stuff back into your cart. (I keep the reusable bags in my car).
I ALWAYS use a credit card and can even get cash back if I want to. (Who uses “cash” anymore).
I don’t trust cashiers. They make mistakes and can STEAL!
I hope self check out is here to stay.
That was a poster child for theft.
ya I was going to say I actually preferred self check out... dont know what the beef is against it unless there is a lot of theft...
The ONLY reason there’s a move away from self check-out is theft has sky-rocketed.
Once again, the damned crooks ruin a good thing for the honest folks.
Line ‘em all up and shoot ‘em. Assholes....
I think this is a local issue. In my corner of flyover country, self checkout lanes have been added at a modest level during the last couple of years.
Local Walmart self-checkout works good - better than nearby Kroger store.
Employees pay attention . . . except when talking with each other.
Mixed bag - re paying attention - some employees better than others.
Local Walmart is a place where a number of people get a job - starting over in life (some, more than once).
Many store visitors get thru the store much faster - when using self-checkout - at this location.
article is complete BS, particularly the assertion that self-checkout takes more employees than non-self-checkout ...
out local walmarts, king soopers (kroger) and safeways have one employee to assist every 6-8 self-checkout stands ... costco has two employees per 6 self-checkout stands ...
personally, i LOVE self-checkout: waiting time is far less than otherwise ... the only bad thing about it is the trend to not take cash at self-checkout because i always pay cash ... sams warehouse and costco are the worst for not taking cash at self-checkout ... pretty much everyone else does ...
