Going places and standing in lines certainly isn’t.So going places and doing stuff isn’t quite your thing?

Exactly why Amazon's is trying to re-think it's grocery business.Going places and standing in lines certainly isn’t.
They do, but those devices usually just help keep the honest people in line. Theft is up all across the board. I mean I've seen quite a few instances at walmart where jugs of oil on the shelf had used oil in them, and filters were in the wrong box intentionally as an example. It's pretty easy to buy 4 muffins and then do the item look-up on the machine and enter 1 if nobody is looking.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...
The more you know......
How about the ones holding a phone with one hand, gabbing away, while scanning at an agonizingly slow pace with the other hand?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…
you are not taking away anyone's job - trust me - no one wants that job today.I almost never use them, I don't work there nor take part in taking away someone else's job.
This isn't 1970. Packages have bar codes you scan. Price tags haven't been used in decades unless it's some mom and pop grocery store in the middle of nowhere.Self checkout is great for those that like to switch price tags.
I think some big items can have stuck on bar codes? Or you just scan something cheap instead of the big ticket item? Canadian tire (its like walmart with slightly better chinese junk) is getting rid of its self serve tills due to dealing with large items and thefts.This isn't 1970. Packages have bar codes you scan.

There are plenty of jobs and people that need them.you are not taking away anyone's job - trust me - no one wants that job today.
Sounds like you might be the Karen griping…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.
But people will swap things in boxes, and I have no doubt they double tap a cheap item and swap in a heavier thing. I doubt the weight sensors on these things are smart enough.This isn't 1970.
