I don’t use ‘em at all. I have told the store employees that paying the same price for stuff when I am doing their jobs is not right. I would use self-checkout if I got a 5-10% discount, but not if I have to pay full ride.
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.
Yep. If I’m paying ‘em to do the job, I’m not going to do it for them.
