Self-checkout

[vraiblonde]

Really?

How much training do you need to drag a bar code across a scanner?

This is one of those nonsensical issues that make me go I love the self-checkout and use it whenever possible. I think those who rail that they're "not an employee" are just jumping on a #metoo bandwagon and haven't really thought about it. I can typically scan and bag my purchases way more efficiently than the cashier at any given store. Plus my items get distributed to bags CORRECTLY so I don't end up with ice cream on top of my rotisserie chicken.

Honestly, is it really that freaking taxing to scan and bag your own damn groceries?

Or canned goods with the bread, a 2-liter in with the eggs...

Bagging is a lost skill everywhere.

I use it when I only have a few items. A full cart goes to full check out.

Most of my grocery stops involve 12 items or less. I double bag what needs double bagging and don't end up with any bags containing one item unless it's eggs or bread.

It was alot easier before they went to these flimsy plastic bags.

For a while, McKays had paper bags if you asked, but I'm pretty sure they stopped it.

I typically shop at Aldi's. Everyone bags their own groceries.

I hate Walmarts self checkout because most of the time I can't get their ****ing bags open

I had a strawberry shortcake placed sideways in the bag. I didn't notice it at the register. On another non-training note, I've had TWO cashiers not understand a roll of quarters. One didn't even know what I talking about. The other thought it was $20 of quarters until I corrected her that she shorted my change by $10.

Commissary still asks you if you want paper or plastic.

There is NO Issue with the scanning. but items with little or no weigh that will not trigger the system after you successfully scan them

' Place Item on the ... '

Must be Safeway..thats the only place I have had that problem. Damn scanner will go into safemode once you get those errors and an attendant has to reset the scanner so you can continue.

Only 1/2 a copper fitting? No wonder it stopped you. Probably cut the bar code in half too.
