I love it. Easy, fast, dont have to talk to anyone. And at our regional chain, you can scan as you go and just pay at the check out. Very convenient for me, as I only buy a few groceries a week.

I love self checkout, though it is rare I am ever buying a full cart of stuff. But, I used to oversee the self checkouts at a previous job so I know how to use them efficiently. I mainly just don't want to have to talk to a cashier.

It's good for 1-4 items, but a pain for everything else since you have to scan, put it down, scan, put it down, scan, put it down, and it doesn't register multiple items. If I'm buying 5 of the same thing, a register can check me out in like 30 seconds. A self-check is taking minutes.

the best is being able to scan all your items via your phone as you shop and then pay via your phone and just walk right past all the checkout & self-checkout lanes (I do this at Sam's Club)

I shop for groceries usually every 3-4 weeks. It's a major hassle when Walmart doesn't have a cashier to do their job. There should be a 5% savings on everything if you're forced to use the self checkouts.

Maybe you should go somewhere else to get your groceries?

I will always do self check out unless Its not available. im master at scanning and bagging.

And I like the idea of bonding with the person at the machine next to you. Like sometimes you can get the machines in sync Hey lol we both just made the machine say bananas at the same time.

I typically do self checkout unless I have a number of bulky items or produce. Never figured out how to scan the produce items so I just let the cashier do it for me

I usually do the self-checkout at Sam's Club. As I'm shopping I put everything in the basket so all the barcodes are facing up. Then when I get to the checkout I just grab the scan gun and beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep DONE! I wish other people would do this, it would make checking out so much faster.

It also makes getting out the door faster. The receipt checker doesn't have to do anything; all the barcodes are already facing up so beep beep beep, thank you for shopping with us.

I do this But still go to the cashier lanes Haha That said, I havent gone to Sams in forever And most places I go dont have the scan guns for customers. But it does help you cashier, who always thank me for doing it. Usually for larger items, like 12 packs of soda or whatever

I can take or leave it but prefer to go to a manned register, especially at Walmart and Target since I've had problems with self checkout scanners. Most times it's had to do with gift cards to where the scanner won't authorize the gift card amount (one incident with the self checkout at CVS comes to mind); so if I buy a gift card I go to a regular register.

This..I hate this crap..Usually Publix is alot better than Wal-Mart in this regard because of the item limit. Wal-Mart has 2 maybe 3 lanes open for regular registers and that makes self check outs cluttered as hell..

Got people with carts filled to the brim and people with only a few items in their hands have to wait

Its fast when you know how to do it. Having to wait in line to have someone else check me out is a lot longer than being able to just walk up and check myself out.

No. Its fast when you dont have many items. If you have a cart full of items, even if you know what to do, its not as fast as a cashier

I use them most the time. I don't really want to be interacting with staff and find some checkout areas where the staff serve to be small. I also don't feel I have to rush when on self service. The only issues for me is when the checkout doesn't register things so then I need staff to come and help. This is rare though for me.

Who else hates self checkout?

I hate them and categorically refuse to use them.

I might be willing to use one if I only have like one or two items and the only alternative line is super long, but I almost never shop that way. So the last time I actually used a self-checkout of my own accord might be more than 10 years ago.

I love self check-out. Most stores around here only have one or two cashier lanes open so I will just go to self check-out since they usually have anywhere from 4-20 self check-out lanes.

You have stores with 20? Most stores Ive seen have 4. Some of the bigger stores more. But I think 8 was the limit. Maybe 10. But never more than that

The newer wallmarts have 20, ten at the grocery side, ten at the department side. Then maybe like 10 regular lanes in-between, but I have only seen 2-3 of them actually manned.

I love the self checkout, don't have to deal with slow people, don't have to talk to people, and I'm extremely fast so it just saves a lot of time. I'm not lazy or entitled thinking this is beneath me how dare people expect me to do something, that's just childish. People who are opposed to it, do you expect them to load up your cart onto the belt too for you?
