And that’s basically it!
As a general rule I avoid any and all self checkout lanes. You want me to come into your building, find what I'm looking for, cart it around, check myself out, bring it to the car, and in some cases being the cart back inside.
Should I be unloading the delivery trucks and putting it on the shelves for you too? How many fewer employees can you go for?
But this is literally how supermarkets provided cheaper prices than the local shops we all used to have. Customers swallow the external costs of last-mile transportation by driving to the business's warehouse. They swallow the costs of service staff by serving themselves. You're just describing their whole business model which, let's not forget, we as a nation gleefully latched onto when it became available, forcing local grocers to close.
Interesting. I avoid normal checkouts because self checkouts are so much more convenient and faster for me. I never use carts so maybe that's the difference
Same here, why would I do it myself when they have staff to do it for me? Should I cook my own steak at the restaurant as well?
Also, it would decrease staff and still won’t lower the prices so fuck em
Since when did Tesco's - or any supermarket for that matter - bring stuff out to your car?
