Friendly reminder to not give your free labor to the grocery conglomerate - make them check you out, always (teehee but rly tho)
I will never understand self checkout issues. I can’t say i have ever had an issue.
I respect that people have issues and thats fine. But i just don’t know how.

this whole operation was your idea
Why are you the way that you are?
Sorry for answering a rhetorical question, but self-checkout is the way it is because stupid consumers meekly agreed to do work for big corporations for no pay. They designed a bad system because they don’t respect you. They don’t respect you because you are a fool.
I love self checkouts at Uniqlo, you just throw everything into it in a bag and it scans the whole bag in a second, showing you the list if you want to check it.
I usually just go to the real person.
So much easier to let a real person do it, plus it keeps them in a job and you don’t have to do unpaid labour. Win-win.
I like self checkout, or when you can scan the items in the store with your phone or scanned. But o-my-god please no weighting stations, there so much trouble I will avoid them at all cost
I’ve noticed this “feature” disappearing from most self checkouts.
tap I’m using my own bag
“put bag in bagging area”
places bag in bagging area
“unknown item in bagging area, please wait for attendant”
Fml
People complaining about self checkouts, why do You use them? You can just simply stand in line for 20 minutes just like in the 90s.
because it’s a transfer of labor, at an expense to all of us. where 12 aisles used to be open on a weekend, now 1 is with a 8 spot self check.
i used to do cashier work at my store. back in the 90’s of course.
it’s all just a way to make more profit.
if i scan it and it fails twice, i steal it. and play stupid if seen. i never give a receipt if asked. i know they’re just a worker, underpaid, and UFCW doesn’t care about them, so i just keep walking and never press it. but yeah. fuck the self checks, even IF you still use the main line.
20 minutes? Not even the old slow checkers have 20 minute lines these days. Although a 2020’s ten minutes sure can feel like a 90’s twenty.
Fucking Kroger, every damn time
Ever since they added the gun holstered guards to check receipts I just took my ass to publix.
Fuck kroger
The poor people need to know their place right? /s
I prefer heb or Aldi. Haven’t heard of Publix.

if i have a few items only and i count to 15, i’ll straight just move to a fresh self check register and start my order over.
If your checkout has a handheld scanner, try using that for the tricky items. It might disregard the weight.
Haven’t you always wanted to work as a grocery cashier, but for free, and with a worse register?
It’s how I get organic produce for regular prices. I wasn’t trained to be a cashier. It’s an onion as far as I know. A potato is a potato, I’m not a farmer.
Ever wanted to just skip the line and get out of the store faster?
Are you really gonna scan, and bag 8 bags worth of shopping in an area the size of a postage stamp with a clanker malfunctioning every 8 items, faster than a professional could do it it?
No. Self checkouts aren’t for people buying 8 bags of groceries. That’s kinda obvious. And don’t tell me that You need someone to bag Your groceries for You.
You’re contradicting yourself. If self checkout isn’t for people with 8 bags, then you’re saying you do need someone to bag your groceries for you.
But you’re also missing the fact that a lot of stores don’t have human checkouts anymore, so if you need 8 bags of groceries, you don’t have a choice
If you skip it entirely, you can get your food for free! Grocery stores hate this one simple trick.
