Mine do and it's always some QT so it makes me feel all the worse because they don't even make eye contact with me when they do fix the system.

>>10411378
People need to get their fuckin shit together and learn how to use these machines. Scan an item, put it on the weight thing/bagging area. It's that simple.

>please wait whilst a member of staff verifies your age

The only grocery store near me that has this style is Walmart, which already sucks in 20 other ways. All the rest at least have the belt-style self checkout or actual cashiers for everything. The best is Stop and Shop with the hand scanners.

>>10411428

>at winco self check
>"please wait for employee verification"

>buying wine
>please wait for authorization
>no one comes
>pay and leave without authorization

I can't even tell you how often I "accidentally" don't pay for shit at self check-outs. It's just too easy, plus fuck you for making me scan and bag my shit.

>every local grocery store got a self check-out line when they were the newest technology in retail

>every local grocery store got rid of them after 3 years because it turns out they weren't faster or cheaper than just having lines with cashier clerks

>>10412104
self checkout is the opposite of AI

>>10411378

>>10412383

I wonder how far Amazon is going to go with those stores where you just grab stuff and walk out. I already do most of my shopping at the local Stop and Shop because they have those hand scanners.

>>10411378
I even read it in her voice

>>10412430

Damn, it was few years ago that I was living on the East Coast and I completely forgot about those scanners at Stop and Shop. Those were awesome, but I haven't seen them anywhere else.

>>10411378
the only way I would scan and bag my own groceries is if I received a 10% discount. I was going past the checkouts at walmart today and they had a huge section at the end for scanning your own shit and then the express lanes next to it were also scan your own shit too. as I'm half way through the check outs all full of fat fucks, I'm starting to think maybe this place does not have an express lane with a real cashier. then I came to the tobacco Isle and it was an express. I would of left the 10 items in my cart in the middle of the isle if they didn't. hell they didn't even have a money center and I had to wait 20 fucking minutes to make a return because of people sending money to their poor relatives.

>>10411384
I just keep going when that happens

>>10412512
>be clerk managing SIX of these fucking machines
>during peak hours people decide they want to go full retard

>14 unscanned items and only one on the screen
>yeah you sure scanned them all right
>force him to rering his order while i keep a hawk eye on him as if he was a nigger

wanna act like a nigger you'll get treated like one. sucks that people would rather get publicly humiliated as a thief and try to walk out with their items because they're little babies that can't use a selfcheckout machine

>>10411473
I wish. Our local Krogers scales are way over tuned and will go off if you look at them funny. Whats worse, is you arent allowed to take bags off after an item is weighed like Walmart. So if you have a whole cart load of shit, you better be ready to pile it

>>10412512
yeah I hate it when that happens

>>10412092
Me too

>>10411392

>>10412732
ok

>>10411569
No because the faggots go through the boxes and weigh them. Walmart they have some cardboard shit outside of them so you can't really pick through them as easily.

>>10412694
then don't go to self checkout you kike thief

>all these rage for scanning your own item
I don't understand this while parking is self-service, gas is self-service..and so on.

I hate shopping

>>10411378
I live near a fair amount of n*ggers and we no longer even have the option of self check out as a result. You've go to hold on, to what you've got.

>>10411392
They're resetting the zero on the scale so you can continue.
The people who run self checkout who don't ask you questions when a problem arises are your friends, don't make fun of them.

>>10414748

>>10411404

4688.

It's one of the few I still remember from when I worked as a cashier. Not sure why, since it was one of the few things that almost always had their label on it.

I used to get anxious over this until I realized most people at Walmart are complete failures and I'm only a partial failure so I had nothing to be embarrassed about.

>we look at eachother for a while, he doesn't move a single muslce
>I go back and fish the reciept out of the can

I can almost respect the way he stonewalled me. He must have been in that situation so many times, and he just knows that he doesn't have to do a single fucking thing and it'll sort itself out. It's like a kind of anti-customer service you don't see in the US a lot

Jesus christ where do you shop, literally never have problems with self serve checkouts.

>>10420214
you can walk right by them, they have no legal grounds, they can't stop you, they can't touch you, hell they can't even notify the police

If they were to make an issue out of it, they have every movement of yours on camera, where they would clearly see you paying for it.

don't even bother with receipt checkers, they're just a deterrent.

>>10411427
Or we could go back to the old checkout system that worked far better.

>>10411378
I remember when this shit first came out. I couldn't stand them because I scanned shit so fast the computer couldn't keep up.

walmart's self-checkouts have always been dogshit and I refuse to use them
instead of the employee having a handheld computer for them to be able to remotely clear error prompts/"PLEASE WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE" they have to PHYSICALLY come over, swipe their tag, and key in their code
one person having to do this for a dozen self-checkouts turns it into a literal 5 minute wait

Even the busiest days will never see more than 2-4 people waiting in line at a self check out, compared to the infinite number of people waiting in line at the cashier checkouts.
