This is what happens when you try to "save" money by forcing people to use self-checkout.

do the order online thing(for anything that's not fresh product), so they have to hire people do the shopping, scan, and bag/box and you just go pick up. (it's mostly free atm for pick ups just need to be above certain amount of dollar spent.) So you go, buy fresh product, then go pick up the bagged ones.

Good plan actually. However I noticed the store here has different prices online vs instore, they have a built in markup online.

That should be illegal since eventually they will try to charge the service, and guess who would use this kind of service more? People with disabilities or have less time to do shopping in store. They should just list the same price and put service charge in the bill.(so I know how much they charge for paying the person that did the shopping for online orders. ) Inflating online price should be called out and make blog post, send to media etc and shut down that behavior.
