Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers β€” and shoppers who despise receipt checks (www.cbc.ca)

I started using grocery self-checkouts during COVID, but I've kept using them because there's rarely a line (and I'm a misanthrope). I'd probably go back to using regular human checkouts if I had to dig through all my crap to prove what I bought.

Having said that, I've noticed myself making mistakes. I've accidentally failed to scan an item, and I've accidentally entered incorrect codes for produce. When I notice, I fix them, but I've probably missed a few.

I guess the easiest answer is for grocery chains to reinvest some of those windfall profits and hire more cashiers.

Shift the cashier's work to the customer and then bitch because the customer is bad at that job that they're not trained for?

How could they be bigger assholes? Get fucked, corporate assholes!

Peach!

Edit: that was supposed to say "preach" but autocorrect ducked me. Leaving the way it is because that's better.

Autocorrect can be a real motherducker.
