One of the nation's major grocery store chains is eliminating self-checkout lanes in an effort to encourage more human contact with its customers.
Albertsons LLC, which operates 217 stores in seven Western and Southern states, will eliminate all self-checkout lanes in the 100 stores that have them and will replace them with standard or express lanes, according to published reports.

Enterprising young partiers around here were ringing up six packs of soda and putting the equivalent weight in beer on the scale . . .
>and all the while the next people in line are standing there watching you and start scanning their items before you have finished putting your items back in the shopping cart. <
LOL, I know. They give you a parting “did you finish high school, buddy?” look when they leave, and you are still at it. I only use it when I have 1-3 items and have cash to pay for it but if not, I’d rather line up with the rest of the zombies.
I had scanned over $40 in merchandise and tried to pay. Meanwhile my wife was loading the cart to leave. It kept demanding that we return items to the shelf. After the third attempt to pay, I grabbed my wife and started walking out. The clerk suddenly became interested in helping us. I told her that I had wasted enough of my time and I walked out. To hell with these time wasting self help apparitions.
LOL!!!
HA! LOL!!! so right. Maybe I am becoming more asocial with Obammy running the show.ha.

Please take your receipt, your groceries and get the hell out of our store...
I just got home from a store with four self check outs. All four were waiting for assistance.
It’s pretty hard for me to maintain “human contact” with Albertsons since they closed down all their stores in my city.
Good! I loathe those things in all store and refuse to use them.. A good cashier can ring through about three too four 20 items or less customers to the self service one. Clerks running reigisters are a good investment. People get mad at a computer slowly giving instructions refusing to let your check out for this or that reason and toss their items down and walk out. As well if a store has sufficent clerks at checkouts too keep lines moving at a reasonable rate then again people don’t get mad and just walk out. A win/win is simply having good cashiers and enough full service lines to keep the lines moving.
Invest in Albertsons and get rich.
