As an introvert I'd rather not use self checkouts. The possibility that something will go wrong and I'll have to call someone over and explain it and have them fix it is much higher than letting someone qualified scan and bag my shit while I stand there silently waiting to pay as both the cashier and myself refuse to talk or make eye contact.
Plus I worked at a walmart for a year as right as they rolled out their mostly self checkout system. So many people lost jobs and the store lost so much money to shrinkage (theft). It's the dumbest fucking thing. Makes perfect sense to have a few for people with only a handful of items but the vast majority should be cashiers.
This meme was brought to us by big self checkout and makes no sense at all IMO.
Yep, no damn way I’m using self checkout when I’m buying, say, a cart full of groceries. And I’m as introverted as can be.
Honestly it's among the main reasons I switched grocery stores from Dillons (Kroger owned) to Aldi. Over the last three years Dillons has added more self checkout lanes, routinely staffed the bare minimum human checkout lanes, and regularly has looooong lines to checkout at peak hour. Going to Aldi I tend to save both money and time; their cashiers scan shit so damn fast.
agreed. Plus the arrangement surrounds you with people whereas each checkout has its nice little safty walls and people are only in front and behind you but not to the sides. That being said I will use self checkout if I have 3 or less easily scannable things.
