we hallucinated those prices as free like the A.I. that taught us to hallucinate
I’ve been caught stealin’, once when I was 5 I enjoy stealin’, it’s just as simple as that Oh well, it’s just a simple fact When I want something, man, I don’t wanna pay for it
Great, now you get to stand in line at a regular checkout and wait for some cashier to scan your stuff at half the speed. But it sure showed them robots.
Atleast someone of the working class makes a lil money doing it
If the store hires/schedules enough professional cashiers to cover all the registers (or enough per amount of customers at that hour) you’ll get through a lot faster than waiting behind all the untrained customers trying to scan, code, and bag their own groceries. A good cashier can scan a cartful six times as fast as the average customer, especially if there’s also a bagger, and you can be entering your credit card or other payment information at the same time. If you are waiting, it’s because of corporate greed understaffing.
I know what you’re getting at, but at least for me that’s not the reality.
I’m aware of ALDI cashier that scan faster any normal human being can pack their bags. And I guess even if enough regular checkouts were open and they would all operate at ALDI level, that would be an option. Still, you have to talk to people, who wants that?
But for me it isn’t the case. There is usually 8-12 self-checkouts availible, so there is never really a line. Also you can get a mobile scanner and scan everything as you are shopping, then you just have to scan the scanner on the checkout. If you do that, not even ALDI cashiers can match that speed.
Really the most time delay is caused by buying alcohol and having to wait for staff to confirm your age. Sometimes they do have remotes and just unlock it from a distance, but other times the self checkout are basically unsupervised and you have to go look for a person to unlock your register. But that’s the exception.
Any cashier can scan faster because they don’t have unexpected items in the bagging area.
They’re not going to do that, instead it will be 3 slow ass cashiers at best and you’ll be waiting to have to stand there awkwardly while some dude tries to act like he’d rather not be dead instead of doing what he’s currently doing and you’re trying your best not to seem like as ass because you’ve been waiting for 10 minutes just to get to that point.
You’ll get the worst of both worlds.
(ps, just do curbside pickup. You don’t get to pick your produce or meats but it’s very easy and you spend so much less time grocery shopping)
self checkout will enable us to steal from our customers
self-checkout enabled our customers to steal from us!“Self checkout allows us to offload the workload onto our customers.”
“What do you mean there’s no reason not to steal since they aren’t getting any benefit from their “employment””
Funny how they assume that “honest” people want to use self checkout in the first place
I like self checkout for reasons that are not related to stealing
Yea same, it’s just less stressful.
I like self checkout for both theft and non-theft related reasons.
You like self checkout because you like stealing.
I like self checkout because beeep boop beep boop.
We are not the same
Funny how you seem to imply that nobody likes to use self checkout.
It might just be my use case. I shop for 7 people and it’s a lot of unpaid labour to do it myself.
Then you certainly shouldn’t! But if I have one icecream in my hand, I’ll much prefer go to the self-checkout instead of queuing to the register.
One local store also has a hand-held scanner/terminal you can use while shopping. I think I could do big shopping with that as well, it’s less of a chore do it while shopping. Previously I had only seen those at wholesale stores for businesses.
Oh boy here I go stealing again
Back to the old days where only employees will get away with stealing.
You can still shoplift
So the honest people wanting convenience will go somewhere else.
Now you only have dishonest people left, good job.
