Is it not the standard? Every store with self-checkout I've been to has a single line for all machines. I've even seen some stores with a single line for regular checkout.
Some places it's unclear, like Lowe's home improvement stores. Most people there sort of gravitate to a one-line-for-all-kiosks arrangement but there's often one douchebag who think everybody else is standing there for no reason and cuts in.
Not standard here, but it's a mix. Same applies to other checkouts: so many people are doing the devil may know what, I'm terrible at picking the fastest queue.
Self check at Sam's Club at other club stores works in a one line per checkout way, where I am at least
Yes but it's 100x faster to use the "Scan-n-go" on your phone anyways.
Scan shit with your phone camera as you put it in the cart. When done click checkout, pay on phone. Then just walk out. Occasionally someone will ask to check yer cart.
seems weird to use an app for a physical store
Yes it does but avoiding the madhouse seems worth it. Lines at my Sam's are always 20+ minutes long
Costco started doing that except it’s them doing it while you’re in line. Like Chik-fil-A. Big brain.
Lines were already speedy, considering.
well, not in Jordan's hood
