ablegator posted... Its why you should never return carts. You rolled the cart all over the store but all the sudden want to claim now you are doing the job of someone?

the only time I had an issue with showing them the receipt is when the case of energy drinks apparently showed up as something unintuitive and it took five minutes to explain most the time it's just a "yep you bought this cart of stuff carry on then" and I recognize that having someone to check and potentially stop traffic is a necessity as long as the possibility of theft exists.

Self checkouts are fine when the option of full service checkout is available as well. Forcing people who are unfamiliar with even using a card for payment to suddenly have to scan, bag, and god forbid figure the code for their fruit is asinine. The receipt checkers are a basic LP measure. They look for items that commonly get swiped and big ticket items to make sure they were paid for. Most people simply comply. If it helps keep overall costs down, Im all for it. Theft is a big problem for stores like Wal-Mart and the rest, you best believe the cost trickles down to us. --- Let's get down to brass tacks.

NeonPhoenix posted... This. Self-checkout is God's gift to mankind. It's amazingIt depends. When they first rolled it out at the Commissary, if you so much as breathed the wrong direction it would detect an unscanned item and lock up. The systems have gotten way better but they are still far from perfect and it is obnoxious when the system thinks you're shoplifting and you have to wait a minute for the attendant to come, review the footage then approve your purchase. Or when the item you have won't scan at all. --- RS3: UltimaSuende - CE Thread Zone https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Walmart is the only one in my town that does it. It's a 50/50 shot of them checking the receipt, i'm kinda friendly to some of the employees sitting by the door so usually they won't ask to see it but there's one who's kinda on a power trip and almost every time he asks to see the receipt. Kroger doesn't do it nor does Meijer which I can't figure out why only Walmart does it. --- I believe in Joe Hendry!! Michigan Wolverines men's basketball: Big Ten Champions ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont really care about the job argument. People justify abandoning shopping carts where they can roll into and damage cars or roll onto the street and cause a road hazard etc as giving cart collectors work, but just stop being a jackass. in terms of self checkout, its just a natural evolution of work as technology evolves. Should we ban cars because the horse breeders are out of a job?

Ive hardly ever seen people check receipts from SCOs here. The staff are watching while you scan, they dont need a second check. That being said, the whole I dont work here claim is so done to death. No one is forcing you to use those lanes (outside of cases like people who cant be bothered getting to checkouts when the store is closing and so all the operators have signed off); and you sure dont seem to be claiming about all the other aspects that are DIY these days. --- (2025-02-24) Not changing my sig until I feel like it. ...

McMarbles posted... You could probably use minding your own business.Naw. Human interaction is good for people. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] There isn't, though I took you as more meaning people anxious with social interaction, which social interaction helps with. If someone just wants to not be social that is there right, but dealing with other people is also just part of living in a society/community. I'm just not a fan of self checkout in concept though, but that's more for how businesses are using it to hollow themselves out to no benefit to the employees or customers really --- The two most beautiful words in any language: I forgive.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Indeed...if you have to have a bunch of people line up at the exit *after* using self-checkout, then clearly the self-checkout isn't fulfilling its purpose (making it quicker and easier), so then they should, you know, *not* use it. I personally don't mind self-checkout, it's just really annoying when the machines are not responsive and fuck up all the time and half the time you have to get someone to unlock it. Like when I try to put an apple on the scale, but it *scans* the sticker on the apple, which isn't an actual barcode, and then the machine has to call someone over. You'd think they would have fixed that by now. --- Not changing this sig until the Knicks win the NBA Championship! Started 4/23/2010! ... Copied to Clipboard!

rick_alverado posted... I generally do my shopping after work, so I've just spent several hours being social, and that leads to my social anxiety being so high when I'm doing my shopping.Interesting, I also do mine after work (and I work a customer facing job), but I usually find the communication different so it does not bother me as much, using different social muscles I guess, but that is just my experience. Though I also used to have horrible social anxiety (I still do in some ways), so I understand, though pushing myself helped me not cure it obviously but gain resilience Rika_Furude posted... Thats a different discussion. Should we ban good transportation cause it will put a lot of car dealerships out of business? No.I get what you are saying, though grocery clerks are a more socially useful job in an ideal society vs car salesmen. Hard to compare the "progress" of self checkout to the progress of transportation. At best self checkout speeds up the checkout process a little bit, I think the marginal benefit is not worth the cost in job less and further stress on the remaining employees. --- The two most beautiful words in any language: I forgive.

I personally love self checkout. I know people say that it takes jobs away from people, but the retail stores that understaff, were going to do so anyway, even without self checkout. It's why I stopped going to target, even before the boycott. Anytime I went to the ones near me, they had super long lines because there were only 1 or 2 registers open and no self checkout --- Steam/Xbox/PSN = NoxObscuras ... Copied to Clipboard!

rexcrk posted... Anti-self checkout people are so weird. Nah. Legitimately takes longer to check out yourself. And any "interesting" items like alcohol require you to wait around until someone from the store comes to help you anyway. And even without that they sometimes still need to because you were standing in just the wrong place that a camera didn't properly capture what you were swiping. it is often better to simply stand in a line behind a half full cart in a normal lane than to just go to s self-checkout with an open slot. --- I am the Hunter of Topics.
