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?

I don't get why anybody complains about self checkout. I think we've had them for a decade in Poland. Everything works and is much faster than a normal checkout. At this point I'm actually avoiding the few stores that don't have them yet.

Zero training and a decent reason not to call any produce organic

I predicted this would happen when our manager brought these in.

It's not that it makes shoplifting easier. It just makes it easier to pass it off as an honest mistake if caught. Sure enough shrinkage went through the roof and their solution was to one way the doors, a divider between them so you are forced to walk through the cash registers on the other side of the store to get out. I'm glad I don't work there anymore.

I love self-checkout. The line moves much faster. But it is important to learn which machines work well and which ones are most glitchy. Kind of like learning which lane has The World's Slowest Checkout Clerk.

I know some people think that self-checkout is making the customer do the cashier work for free, but honestly, having experienced it both ways, I'd much rather do it myself. It's not like I am doing anything else at the time, and shopping already involves something very similar, regardless.

I imagine that if grocery stores had started with each person having a personal shopper who picked things off the shelves and pushed the cart around, then if some stores started making people push their carts around themselves, you'd hear the same complaints.

But I am already picking up each item, one by one, when I put them into the cart. To me, it's really not that different to pick up the items one by one, scan them, and put them into the bag.
