so im waiting in line to check out and some lady tells klu, hey come over to the self check out, i would of told her to blow me, but of course klu goes over there, i knew it was going to be a mistake, damn thing has problems scanning half the items, klu couldnt possibly scan any slower unless her arms were broken, im dropping f bombs left and right since items werent coming up at the right price, the old lady that was behind us in the other line had already left the damn store, so she had gotten checked out sooner, so that pissed me off even more, the damn visa card wouldnt scan, the damn check out robot kept telling us unauthorized bag removal, im flipping off the computer, klu is trying to hide her face, shes telling me to stop cussing, im never doing that shit again
 
omg it was the worst experience in a store ever for me......i wanted to leave with that old lady

he was double birding the danged self checkout thingy :worried:

No, being in a hurry and getting behind someone having these kinda problems is what sux.

I too will NEVER use that motherfuker again.
 
self checkouts are a tool of Republican Management:

YOU are doing all the work, but are not getting a discount on your purchases.

YOU are cutting a cashier and bagger out of their job.

YOU get diddled when the damn thing locks up half way thru your purchases.


F**K SELF CHECK OUTS!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't always work right.
I loved it initially.
But last time, I would scan the item but when I would place in the bagging area, it would say 'unexpected item in the bagging area.'
I ended up double scanning several items and then had to be taken off at customer service.

YES!!!! ;)
 
I love the bar code self check outs at the Library..

No waiting in line behind Wilma Welfare and her 7 screaming curtain crawlers
complaining about her $3 overdue fines she can't pay as she blabs on her $200 $50 a month camera cell phone.

As to store Self Service checkouts, I agree you should get a discount if you use them as an incentive. Also, there is no consistency amoung them, so each time you use one, you must take a moment and read how this one works specifically.

The ones without the scales, I don't know how they keep people from ripping things off.. I have walked accidently out of the library with unchecked out items
unknowingly because they did not scan, and they have no measures in place to prevent it..

But think of this..
Do you complain about using an ATM these days instead of going into the bank andhaving a live bank cashier give you your $50 for the weekend ?

I've been using them for a year or two and never had trouble, the only annoying part is if you have produce, (ie. no bar code) and have to find the button for portabello mushrooms.

I guess if you have a ton of stuff, it'd be annoying, but for just me, it's perfect.
 
lol i dont think i have ever been embarrased by someone as much as hammy embarrassed me......lol
well when i was 12 my quiet mom got into an argument with this hateful woman at a grocery store......she was getting icecream and it rang up different and they were arguing back and forth about it, and mind u this woman was short.......she was shorter than me when i was 12
and she said well there is a sigh in front of the sale stuff and my mom said
well i see that but i guess your too short to be able to tell
my mouth fell open and so did that womans lol i was like U GO MOM:)

I love those, I always throw shit in the bags without scanning it.

How does that work? Ours machines start yelling at you if the weight changes without a scan, and also you have to go through those sensor things as you leave..

On ours, you just put the produce on the scanner, it weighs it, and the cashier has a video of it on her screen and she has to recognize it, select the right item and price, and okay it before you can proceed to the next item.

I avoid the self check unless it appears to be the quickest path to get me out of the store. But I refuse to use it if I have produce or other known difficult items.

I agree that it's a plot to make me do more work with no benefit.
 
I like the self checkouts. I can get through my cart faster than those teenage checkers, who are slow as hell. Who also by the way, don't even know how to bag my stuff. They will put cleaning products in with my produce...that's just not right.

Everything has a process, and with practice, anyone can learn the proper way of using them.

well, like one time at Home Depot I bought a plant and a pot. I placed the plant in the pot and only scanned the pot. This other time I bought 4 of one item but only scanned one. Etc......

I am very impressed with the time it took to create this ^
 
Self-checkouts are the best. Much faster and you don't have to deal with some rude 17 year old dropout cashier.

Stealing has never been easier.

Very simple to give yourself a nice "discount" if you are familiar with your self-checkout machine. For instance, put an item that costs $15 on the scanner, check it out as produce and pick the cheapest produce that weighs roughly what that item weighs (say it is 8 limes, 3 iceburg lettuces, whatever). The produce will end up costing only a few bucks, so a nice savings indeed. If you have the video self-checkout machines this won't work of course, but there tend to be less of those.

do you know that retailers and grocerystore ppl do not think that theft is a big problem? they trust customers more than they trust their own employees. The main cost of shrinkage is not theft.......its paperwork :worried:

Yep. The people who work for any retail store know the in's and out's of the operations. I'm sure despite the losses as a result of self-checkout thefts, it is still less then losses due to cashier/employee thefts.

Self-checkouts make stealing much easier though. More often then not, if someone is going to steal they will do the deed away from the cash out area. One time I was using the self-checkout machine and forgot to checkout a few items that my bags were covering. I just walked right out of the store and nobody noticed.

Your right
the other day at walmart there was a lady in front of me with her kids, and a baby carrying seat in the bottom of her buggy.
She had a pair of pantyhose in the buggy behind the babyseat.....i dont know f she realized it or if she did. I wasnt going to tell her either
Thats why they have those little round mirrors on the side of the registers, so the cashier can see in the buggy for stuff being taken out.....but what should they care? they get paid minimum wage

That is great.

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to hamstershaver again.
