mfw local supermarket has 16 self serve checkouts with the scales disabled because they're so glitchy and one really stupid overworked 18 year old girl working the section. I smile politely and as soon as some mom with 5 screaming kids gets her attention, I start grabbing handfuls of items, running it over the scanner, and bagging it up beep or not. I get multiple same items so I can grab all 5 frozen pizzas and scan one. I usually leave with 3 bags crammed full of shit and end up paying about 15 or 20 bucks and i give the staff member an understanding amile and get told have a nice day kek

Let me give you a tip -- don't bag your shit. Scan everything, dump it over where the bags are, pay for your shit, THEN bag it. The scales absolutely hate when people bag stuff because the weight get really unpredictable.

They seem to have weird rules. You need to have a bag in the baggage area at all times. If you put it on the floor or in a trolley, nope, that isn't working. It seems like something you can get used to, but they should be more intuitive.

In the uk theyre supposed to be trialing facial recognition soon i think, you upload a picture of yourself and your proof of age documents to this website then when you go in store the self checkouts have cameras built into them, then when you scan an age restricted item it takes a picture of your face and checks it against the database and your proof of age documents then it lets you continue without needing a member of staff to verify. I think they are also trialing facial recognition with age guessing, kinda like those apps that try to guess peoples age from a picture, so you may not even need to upload any documents, it just looks at your face and guesses your age and if you look under 25 then it flags it for a member of staff, if you look over then it doesnt.

I've had this happen before. I swiped everything back into my basket, moved to another machine and scanned everything again. You could be standing there for 10 minutes if you wait for the one cashier to finish taking a shit or whatever. Cheap bastard stores only staffing one person for all the machines is ridiculous. They're already forcing us to do somebody else's job to buy something from them. The future sucks.

It happens to me often just because I'm scanning a little too quickly. You have to scan and bag at a snail's pace for it to register correctly. You're basically stuck with the slowest possible human cashier equivalent every time. It sucks. The technology is shit and inferior in every way to a human cashier. The only buyer-side advantages are for customers with severe social anxiety (who probably order food online now anyway) or who intend to steal groceries.

You shut up! The machines are retarded not me, as I’ve said, they should be able to tell how many items I’ve scanned, instead they instruct me to “place item in bagging area” and when I do they think it’s some fucking mystery item and waste my time by freezing up and calling for an associate. Next time that happens I’m just going to yell I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE and leave my groceries behind

Are you too stupid to realize how scales work?

Yes, the machine knows how many items you've scanned, but it needs to check the weight of the item to make sure you're not trying to steal from the store. If you bump or otherwise disturb the machine while it's trying to verify the weight of your scanned item then OFC it's going to screw up. How dense do you have to be not to realize this?

>but where do you get off assuming stuff?
Because I'm an engineer who designs industrial machinery. I know that it's rare the machines malfunction and it's far more likely the humans involved are doing something wrong.

Sure, you're not bodyslamming the scale, but you might be leaning against it without realizing it, or your clothes might bump it. You might be moving something or touching the scale and not giving the machine the brief pause it needs to verify the reading before proceeding with what you are doing.

I've never once experienced a self-checkout malfunction. But I've seen them "act up" plenty of times when people don't use them carefully.

My favorite one is when some parent is trying to use the machine completely oblivious to the fact that her little kids are the ones causing all the problems because they keep touching the scale or the items on it.

I don't doubt that sometimes the machines fuck up, especially if the store staff doesn't maintain them. But the vast majority of the time it's operator error.

The problem is they fucking suck at registering weight and have a tiny weight limit so if you scan something heavy first you have fucked yourself in the ass for the rest of the items. The best one ma are the ones that don’t detect weight at all and use cameras and rfid to validate the items

The ones at walmart are kino because they have no scale so you can move bags around no problem. I just wish tgeyd get rid of that charity thing that pops up 2 or 3 times. I nolonger use manned checkouts because stores inly hire monkeys that can bag at all .

No. Don't disturb the scale.

>> So you admit they're shit.
Oh, I agree 100% they're shit. But not for the reason that was previously claimed. I don't think they malfunction much. Rather, I think they're poorly designed for how people use them (which is to say, like idiots), and they're also slower than a real cashier because the real cashier doesn't have to slow down to weight-check every item.

That's unusual. The way the machines normally work is that they look up the weight of the item you scanned in an internal database and then they expect to "see" that same weight added to the scale. If the weights don't match then it summons the attendant because it thinks you are stealing.

That's why people think these things malfunction all the time. The person accidentally bumps the scale or moves something, etc, while the machine is doing the weight check. That triggers the machine thinking there is theft occurring.
