One of the Safeways in San Francisco that has self checkout has recently added like a plexiglass barrier to exit from the self checkout section. You’re supposed to scan your receipt to open the barrier, kind of like the fare gate at a subway station. Well, poor old yours truly, so used to a barrier not being there, didn’t even notice it the first time and walked right into it carrying a couple of grocery bags.
Oops! How embarrassing. Still, that barrier should be better designed. The customer shouldn’t be put in that spot of dropping merchandise all over and possibly losing their balance.
“they’re removing the kiosks because of problems with theft “
And there it is. Society crumbles because of the worst of us
