Why do they say self check out is a scam?

If you dont understand how its a scam then you yourself have accepted reality as it is and dont mind being taken advantage of.

You are paying the same prices to do the job of a cashier. Pretty simple to understand lol.

They force customers to do the job and if they make a mistake they get handcuffed and accused of stealing

Just part of a trend where costs go up and service goes down

Grocery stores: "We installed self-checkouts because we trust you to scan your own groceries."
Also grocery stores: "We station employees at the exits to check your receipts because we don't trust you to honestly scan your own groceries."

You do?

But I do it faster than them and to me that's worth it. I don't feel like I'm being taken advantage of, I feel like I'm being catered to.

Current events is the only place you see people complain about self checkout. Boggles the mind.

i see the misunderstanding

they say it's a scan...

Bc there's a certain population group we used to ignore, however the internet gave them a bullhorn and here we are.

Self checkouts are faster which is why I like them.

They have taken exactly 0 jobs. Nearly every major grocery chain is actually employing more people than before due to the rise of Online Grocery shopping, someone has to pick/organize/package all of those orders.

Around here ~40+% of Walmart sales are through online shoppers.

You ain't afraid of getting caught?

And youre helping keep it that way. Hope you get caught, thieves are scum and you arent even thieving to survive.

most of the time the security guy is busy on his phone

its not like theyd arrest me for a $15 theft. Id just say oops I forgot to scan that

theft is already built into the price in every store.

And scum bag shoplifters are part of the reason for high prices.

Hope you get caught and done for it.

sorry you bought the corporate lie about shoplifting being why prices are high or stores get closed

grocery stores sell most of their shit at a 300-500% markup. Theft is included in shrink which is part of any major stores budget, and the vast majority of it is employee theft and damaged or otherwise unsellable/expired product.

but either way, shoplifting and employee theft are nothing compared to how much money big companies steal from their own employees every year

So what should I do, not use it and spend longer checking out just to make a point? Ill take being a cuck if it means Im done faster.

I objectively can because I'm scanning items as I'm pulling it off of the shelf and putting it in a bag in my cart. When I get to the self-check out area I scan 1 QR code and leave. It takes maybe 30 seconds.

Your average person isnt doing this and this isnt something you can do at any store . Youre also putting in more work doing this and putting yourself in a position to be accused of theft every time.

In my country thats normal, these go in your cart and you scan when putting stuff in the cart. Then you just scan the end result.

Waiting an extra 15 minutes in a line to avoid putting 7 items into a grocery bag is not something I understand but to each their own I guess.

Still you don't think theft is a contributor to high prices?

It is unpaid labor so if you enjoy doing free work for rich company owners

You're still a thief. Rationalize it all you want but you're a fucking filthy thief. Hope you get caught and banned.

Might as well say shopping is unpaid labor, then. Should we also consider the fuel costs driving to the store? If an item is out of stock and I have to return the next day, should I invoice the company?

lmao man calm down

LOL..The drama here is awesome.

You get nothing of value from it

You also had to take those same groceries to the car by yourself. The unpaid labor you did when putting them in your car and also bringing them into your house!!! We are all slaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most every time I have shopped the bagger has asked if I need help with getting my groceries to the car.

I have had stores give me ious before, and I have had employees help me shop.

I actually get the single biggest value available to humans - time. But like I said, please go ahead and waste 15-20 min. in a line so you don't give the big bad companies free labor. No skin off my back.

Again, why not consider all shopping unpaid labor, then?

And I absolutely get value from scanning as I go and walking out the door in 30 seconds after I'm done. I also have value in knowing I bagged my items correctly as I was shopping. I also have value in not having to interact with anyone.
