It really depends. I do it in one shop because its more convinient. I have to put the stuff only one time in my hands.

  1. get the scanner on entry of the shop.
  2. scan item at shelf and put it in your bags
  3. repeat 2
  4. scan exit
  5. pay
  6. put bags from shopping cart into car.

Idk why people complain about self checkout. I absolutely despise having to interact with someone at the store. The fact that I have to be around all these people is bad enough please don't make me talk to them.

Any mistake during self-checkout and my local supermarkets will consider it shoplifting and pursue it all the way to court if needed. I'm not running that risk.

I love it when a cashier checkout is available because everyone is doing the self-checkout and I can get my stuff bagged properly (I’m terrible at bagging up). I’ll even chat with them as they’re in the middle of the most boring shift imaginable.

Workers bagging your stuff at a store is so incredibly weird to me. In Sweden you have to bag your own stuff and afaik it has always been like that.

I tend to buy so much booze that self check out is a hassle.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's always a hassle for me. Items not scanning. The machine screaming about the item not weighing correctly. The machine screaming at you because you moved your item.

It's great for quick purchases. But I'm going to a cashier if I have more than 10 items.

I go at my own pace since I'm doing their job essentially. It's their fault they didn't put enough self-checkout lanes. It gives me time to bag and organize everything logically before returning to my vehicle. If they wanted speed they should either hire more cashiers or build more self-checkout.

Fuck that I'm there to get my shit and go, the less interaction the better. For me, personally, it's ideal.

Sucks about the low paying jobs tho =/

Then just wait in line.

It’s reasonable to have a store provide a service where an employee processes the customer’s items to check for damage, verify prices, and bag them intelligently.

But it’s not worth the risk of getting the wrong chatty cashier.

No, I’ll roll the dice and scan them myself. If I hit an “unexpected item in bagging area” error that requires someone to come over and help me, I can always burn down the store and run away and try again somewhere else.

Seriously, you want me to do the job of a cashier and a bagger, give me a 15% discount or go fuck yourself.

I like the scan and go in the Sam’s club app. Scan the items with your phone, and if the QR code receipt is visible when you walk through the gate thing they usually wave you on without a person checking.
