Wait, is this a thing? What's wrong with you people?

[-] snowby@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

I love my self-checkout, so much better than waiting in line for a slow cashier to make chitchat.

Cashiers are fast. I don't want to search for the catalog number for all my produce. The cashiers have it memorized

[-] LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 months ago

Most produce has a sticker with the code on it and most stores have now made it to where you can just scan the little sticker barcode anyways.

Cashiers are fast.

Not always

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

I mean, I don't much care about the chitchat, but self-checkout is almost always faster. I only avoid it when I have alcohol or pharmacy items.

[-] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

We were talking about this the other day. Is it faster, or does it appear faster since they have removed so many cashiers? Like 20 lanes and 1 cashier, with 4 self checkouts.

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 months ago

Well, most stores over here have around 10-16 self checkouts in the space that would be occupied by 4-6 regular lanes. So I'd say it is faster even accounting for people taking longer.
