I like having the option and regularly use it. But not always.
I steal limes
I love them. I only use self checkout every time. Very quick and easy.
I like them if I’m just getting a couple of things.
They’re awesome. I don’t have to speak to anybody.
Cuts down on lines and unnecessary interactions. Works great as long as the UI isn’t moronic.
I prefer them if I just have a few things. If I have an entire cart full it’s slower.
I’ve been told by several Big box store loss prevention people to never ever use them.
The reason is because if they realize they’re missing a certain item from the store, they will review security footage and then look at you for purchasing the item.
They even detained, and a few people were arrested because they thought they scanned something but it didn’t scan.
BS reasons he arrested someone at self check out.
Their kid grab something without them realizing and then they walked out the store with it.
They left something at the bottom of the cart like a box of water or a 12 pack. Scanned everything else but that but because they tried to leave the store it was still theft.
Card was declined and the guy didn’t pay attention he just pulled his card out and left the store.
They scanned an item and it came up as a different item in the system. So they were detained while they investigated potential fraud.
Just a 5-minute conversation alone with this guy was enough to make me never want to use them ever again.
An introvert’s dream!
Useful I guess
Have you seen stores in japan that don’t even need checkout? More interesting i think and from a moral standpoint.
I like them cause if I only have a few items and I know doesnt require an employee assistant to check on, I can do it myself, if I need help I can call for help
I will use them any time I have the chance. Get to bag my stuff the way I want it bagged and don’t have to worry about small talk which I hate
Depends on how buggy the computers are
Unexpected item in the baggage area. Please wait for attendant.
I don’t use them. And we I am offered one while waiting in line, I just tell the person offering that I don’t work here.
As long as they don’t require assistance every 5 seconds they are great
I avoid them. If you want me to work here, I want an employee discount.
i like them because i can ring in bulk items at a lower cost and never get charged for bags. it also allows me to keep a closer watch on mistaken pricing, which happens A LOT. not only that but you can ring in a coupon multiple times and keep the coupon for your next visit.
I much prefer them as its quicker and I cant be arsed waiting in Q especially if its busy.
My labour isn’t free, so I pay myself for my work in food.
Hate them
if i use a self checkout i’m doing the work and saving the company from having to pay an employee so why shouldn’t my groceries be discounted even just a tiny bit.
I love being able to ring up every item as bulk teff flour at $0.69/pound.
I think it’s a way for stores to pass the buck to the consumer. They don’t care about customer service, so they remove the service portion completely and you get to pay the same price!
I love them. I just wish people with overfull carts wouldn’t use them and hold up the rest of the line. First world problems, yes….
I will frequently “forget” to scan an item or so on every visit.
Annoying when buying groceries. Don’t mind when it’s for one or two items.
good if you have communication issues but horrible if they don’t work
Handy and relies on the inate honesty of people, which is nice. But they replace people jobs that are still more personable and more helpful.
Started using them because they make shorter trips nice. I hated getting stuck behind people who had massive loads while I only had a few items, and also the overly-friendly cashiers who had to ask about everything I was buying.
I like them because I rarely ever have to wait in line. I’m fully confident I can do this job better and faster with 0 training than the 16 year old with purple streaks in her hair.
I like them, but can’t stand people that are mystified by them if they are ahead of me
I refuse to use them.
If they’re good, I like them. Home depot has great ones. I can scan and bag faster than the cashiers anyway.
If they’re terrible like the ones that whine if u didn’t place an item just right after scanning it, or every issue locks the machine until an employee comes to unlock it, then I hate them
Like a few others here, I love them for if I have less than 15-20 things.
Give me a discount for using it and i will, if its the only lane with no line ill go through and make sure i forget to scan a few things (gotta pay cashiers)
They should pay me what they’d pay a cashier.
“Would you like to use the self checkout?”
“No thanks I don’t work here”
I hate them. They constantly scold me for supposedly putting an unscanned item in the bagging area. I feel like I’m being accused of stealing every time I use one.
