Self-checkout is just a way for stores to make more money (fees for person accused of theft), save money (by not hiring cashiers), and having fun (giving a person a criminal record for life).

At our Home Depot they set up self checkout but have cashiers manning the registers there. Not sure why.

I prefer self checkout. I don’t have to deal with people and it’s faster. Maybe bc my first job was a cashier/bagger I have an advantage. But anyone with a brain stem could figure it out.

I’m not checking out $300 worth of groceries. If they can’t do it. I’ll leave it and go somewhere else.

It's not faster if you don't know how to use the machine and people move too slow.

Self checkout is a choice. You get irritated that it's slower? Blame the people using the self checkouts that have entire carts filled to the brim with groceries and take 10 seconds to find the big fat bar code on the top of the lid just to scan it.

It's not a choice. They only have self check at Walmart except during the busiest hours. Then you risk being accused of stealing and you have no choice

@@AlienTurkey7 that's really cool about Aldi. It's true that there should be at least one human check out at all times for that very reason.

Costs more money

Just say no, because you don't get benefits from the store and even ten percent is better than anything

Krogers has a self checkout. During certain hours this is all that is open(at the time). People are forced into self-checkout because only 2-3 of the capable cashier registers are open and in certain chains they don't put their best cashiers forward. I witnessed an elderly woman shopping struggle with checking herself out while the overweight employee over the kiosks played on her cell phone. If this were implemented correctly for user adoption, then self checkout lanes should in fact get at a minimum 2% discount or some reward for doing so, it is not perceived as convenience in my opinion.

Now is not the time to be bitching about self checkouts. These things have been around for decades now in some places and more and more people are using them. More people are willing to use them than not, and companies know this. The time to boycott new technology is soon after it appears, not after it has become normative or semi-normative.

Interesting, I was at a Ralph’s recently which is a Kroger grocery store. Early in the morning I go shopping there and I want to buy alcohol, but there’s no human cashiers to purchase the alcohol because they have laws in California that say you cannot purchase alcohol with the automated self check out machines. I spoke with the store associate about this issue and they said they will gladly call somebody down from the office to come. Check me out in person like we have been doing for the last 150 years. I don’t fully understand why society would not boycott such technology because it is not more inconvenient as much as they believe it is half the time the machine doesn’t work, and like you said the workers are lazy or stupid or don’t care. I am boycotting all self check out machines until they go away. I am also advising all of my friends and families and never use them because they can get accused of stealing and that’s not worth it. And like you said I’ve been a firm believer that customer should be getting a discount for doing somebody else’s job and 2% is not high enough.

@@stevewilson6733 The machines are calibrated a certain way to keep track of what has been scanned, but few people seem to understand that, or bother to try and do so. And that is why they have so many issues with the machines locking up on them. They aren't hard to use if you know how they are calibrated, and it is very intuitive overall. For the most part. The machines can sometimes be extra touchy.

Prefer to use self-checkout if I only have a few items and it is a lot quicker for me personally... but really not surprised to see that for a lot of other people, it's slower because they are unfamiliar with the process or just not good with that type of tech/machinery.

One advantage of using self checkout is that you're not pestered by a real person into giving to charity. You know, when they ask you if you would like to round up or give a dollar or two to a charity they are collecting for.

You are working for free, that makes you stupid.

I don't mind self checkout for a few items. I can walk up, scan my items, and leave. Simple.

Why do people not understand when stores hire cashiers they train them to use the register and pay them to work the register. Self checkout means an untrained cashier (you) who may accidentally miss something and possibly be charged with theft, who is working for free. I’m sorry, I do not work for free.

I love self checkout because a lot of cashiers have no people skills and can be rude so self checkout is a sometime a more pleasant experience

Oh c'mon you know self checkouts are saving people tons of money n they love it! Customers can get thru quickly by scanning half of their items while getting the rest for free! I see it every time I shop n it's revolting!!🤮 Why don't people admit "I love self checkouts so I can steal half of my items"! Obviously there are a small percentage of us that still pay for everything n if you watch tic toc at all they claim we are the stupid idiots for doing so since it's so easy. Are we stupid?

Stay away.

I'll never use self check out unless I'm shopping online.

Criminal defense attorneys recommend for EVERYBODY TO STOP USING THEM ! Because even when something doesn't scan accidentally and you aren't paying attention to what the total should be, they will still charge you with shoplifting .we should have said no to this shit a long time ago ! Innocent people are also catching charges , it's been proven already . But walmart and other stores don't care ! YOU WORK FOR THEM !
