Out of curiosity, what’s to hate about self checkout? It’s faster and you don’t have to talk to anybody.
Obviously preference matters so I’m not going to judge you for it!
I’m slow at it and I find just loading groceries onto a belt a more efficient process. Plus when the machines mess up or I bag an item too quickly I get held up.
I just don’t enjoy it.
For me it is entering correct vegetable and fruit codes. I found it fun and a novelty when self checkout was first introduced, now I will go out of my way, slightly, to not enter or scan
You have to remember the codes?! I can either, depending on the type of selfcheckout, weigh at a weighing station and pick from images with text and get a sticker barcode printed to put on it, or select from images with text at the bagging station.
Where I am at, it’s much easier to just stuff things into bags without a care, and have God figure it out at the checkout
They have to approve my bloody bag every single time!
"Unexpected item in bagging area." No, that's the shit I just scanned...
It's not self-service if you have to wait for a manager's approval every time!
