A bunch of smaller places around me just totally shut down the self checkout. It's actually incredibly frustrating because there will be a line and I could just do it myself and be done. But no, everyone has to wait for a single cashier now because people were stealing. Just make up your mind. Get rid of it entirely or use it.

Why would they pay more cashiers if you shop there anyway?

It's almost the fabled concept of "free market" where people are "voting with their dollar" is mainly a fiction.

The complaining is an important part of the theatrics.

How do you expect me to tell the difference between organic lionsmane mushroom and a banana?

One time, i scanned all of my items and had to wait for someone to check id because it included alcohol. After they unlocked the machine, I paid and left. Turned out that none of the scans registered after the first alcohol item, so i got a bunch of freebies. I'd normally give a shit, but this is how well they trained me and how well their system worked.

The process is perfectly designed to give you the results you got.

You can only complain about being stolen from if you didn't make record profits.

I have an issue with telling fancy mushrooms from the cheap brown mushrooms that are coincidentally 1/5 of the price. Its a known problem and it should probably disqualify me from a job checking out produce. Oh well, I guess I'll just do my best.

I get that we hate corporations. But since when is reconsidering something complaining? Presumably if they reconsider there might be more paid cashiers, good right?
