Due to staff shortage the self-checkout is closed

As it turns out many customers are dishonest and dedicated staff has to keep multiple eyes on the self-checkout stations. "Unexpected item!"
Haha. They have bit bosses at the casinos, and also at Walmart.
The procrastinators meeting was cancelled because no one showed up.
They have electronic devices to monitor the checkout process. They pop up on the screen as you scan them. They can tell when you don't scan an item. Yes eyes are needed-but 10 sets of eyes for 10 self checkout lanes...As it turns out many customers are dishonest and dedicated staff has to keep multiple eyes on the self-checkout stations.

The more you know......
good. Never liked them. Over here they are still implementing more though
I love self check out. It should be reserved for smaller amounts of purchases though. Nothing worse then waiting behind someone slowly scanning their large cart full of groceries…
Or how about someone who lets their four-year old scan while there's a line.
Yeah, sure, when the kid started there wasn't a line, or there wasn't one last week. But now there is. Take over, Karen.
The person who boards a bus and acts like they've never paid for anything before....the self checkout customer who has to fondle each item while seeking the bar code....the bank customer who gaze motionlessly for 20 seconds at each screen change at the ATM.....
They increased the number of self checkouts in my world.

I almost never use them, I don't work there nor take part in taking away someone else's job.
I seem to always get behind those types when I'm in the regular staffed checkout line. Mom pays for her groceries, and then it's time for adorable little Timmy to pay for his candy and baseball cards and he unloads a sock full of pennies all over the counter and the line grows longer and longer while the cashier counts them
Can''t monitor shoplifting or help people who are having problems at the terminal.
I won't use self checkout. If they can't afford a trained human then they don't need my business. Just like fast food kiosks, I won't use them either. I am old and set in my ways and if we let businesses get away with getting rid of associates, then expect the next step of the automated doctor offices and X-Ray departments and Pharmacies and on and on. Just like the wind and solar power move and electric vehicle move these are going to fail by themselves due to losses or non-acceptance.
The person who just stands there while the cashier tallies and bags her groceries. And then when all is done seems to suddenly realize she has to pay for it. This sets in a motion a minute or so while she rummages through her purse to try and find a credit card or check book which is lost in there somewhere.
Prefer the self check-out just so I can better monitor the price that rings up on sale items. Nearly every time I shop, at least one item scans at the regular price, then I go to the customer service counter and they refund me the entire price and I get to keep the item. That's $5 to $10 back every visit.
In the near future we'll have to unload and stock the stuff too.

If I can order online, I tend to do that. I don’t enjoy physically going to stores.
So going places and doing stuff isn’t quite your thing?
