“Anymore than a few items makes self checkout suck”

Especially if you’re behind someone with a full shopping cart that’s self checking.

I can only think of one reason to self check out with a cart load.

I can think of another. At a Kroger’s (Fry’s in Phoenix) a few days ago, mid-day on a weekday, the “super store” had a grand total of ONE register staffed and 7 customers in line (most with full carts). The option was to slog through self check out or wait for...IDK, maybe 30 minutes?

You want to get it right?

I only use an employee checkout if no self-checkout is available. I like KNOWING my bill is correct. But then, I don’t go shopping for 123 small items. A completely full cart means I have large items in the cart.

My wife does the once-a-month, go to Costco and spend 3 hours stock up type of shopping. She enjoys that.

And I hate using employee check out. Just like I would rather use a self-serve kiosk at McDonald’s than hope an employee gets my order right.
