They provide bags for loose items for a reason.

I only want one fucking orange. I don't want to kill the planet by using a plastic bag for this single orange just to prevent their shit scale from fucking up. Enviro-racist.

>>6263728
I prefer to just put it in the bottom of my cart.

>>6263750
put it top-down so it doesn't roll. this isn't fucking rocket science.

>>6263750

As someone who once worked in a supermarket, that's beyond retarded.

first off, using one plastic bag is hardly going to harm the environment. your desire to buy stuff out-of-season is a lot worse.

and perhaps most importantly: everything at the supermarket checkout is beyond disgusting: the scale, the scanner, the keypad, etc... all gets touched by hundreds of people a day. people who cough on their hands and wipe their snot everywhere. kids that get into everything. packages of chicken seeping juice everywhere. it's beyond disgusting. people who put produce straight onto those things without putting them in a bag are asking to get themselves sick.

>>6263707

Feels good to live in the forefront of technology.

>>6263820
It's not the tech it's the people that use it.

Being in a similar field myself when we first started deploying things like virtualized back-ends for client systems we basically left out telling them that we were using virtualization technology otherwise we'd get complaints like "Oh this is running slow, must be because of virtualization" and shit like that.

People in this country are retarded.

When was the last time you ate orange peel tough guy? It's almost as if mother nature has provided an orange with its own, natural way to NOT NEED A FUCKING PLASTIC BAG

>>6263710

How about just going to an actual register then when you notice there are old people/people not used to self-checkouts there or if you have restricted items? Is it that difficult?

>>6263891
>When was the last time you ate orange peel tough guy?

nigger do you even zest?

>>6263891
That orange that you placed directly on the scanner? It's a bio weapon now. You put the nasty orange in the bag with your other stuff, where it sheds bacteria all over everything you bought.

Feminist watch dog fedora faggots have become the Reverse sjws

Pic related it's you when a woman posts about checking out at a grocery store

As a cashier who oftentimes has to watch over the self-scans at my store, I laugh at the people who say self-scans will replace cashiers. The average person has such a difficult time using the things. I have hundreds of customers a day that would choose to wait 5min in line to check out with less than 5 items than brave the self-scans.

>>6263947
I'm one of those people. I refuse to give the machines the satisfaction of trying to fuck with me.

>>6263947
People said the same thing about smartphones.

Technological literacy exponentially improves over time.

>>6263971
I really, really wish it would hurry up when it comes to self checkouts.

Its almost painful to see someone standing there, holding the item in their fucking hand and giving me a shitty look as the machine is repeatedly telling them
>please put the item in the bagging area
>please put the item in the bagging area

I always go for the line with a human being on the end.

we're by the college campus, so that means we have to log every one of their IDs in a logbook. Inevitably, one of them doesn't have ID and so I have to deny the sale to all of them. Even if that guy isn't paying for any of it, I have to assume he's a minor if he doesn't have ID, and I have to assume that the others are now attempting to buy alcohol for a minor.

Also, why is it always the person who forgot their club card who happens to pick the machine with the fucked up touch screen that makes it really hard to type in a phone number?

On a frigging disgusting standard issue supermarket Orange with pesticides and petroleum based wax on its peel.

You disgust me! compared to that, the germs from the scale are harmless. Also, how do you make sure that the nasty person that touched your precious scale did not also touch your orange in its crate, while that person was grabing his orange?

>>6264347
>Also, how do you make sure that the nasty person that touched your precious scale did not also touch your orange in its crate

You can't. That's why you wash produce before you eat it.

But there's no sense in taking unnecessary risks.

>>6263655
i usually just go to a regular checkout. unless i have like one or two items that shouldnt even cause the machine to need help.

I've got like 4 things I don't want to use carrierbags if I wanted to steal shit I already would have

>>6264783
>Why is this a thing

Because that's how the machine detects people trying to steal from it. The "bagging area" contains a scale. The machine checks to see if the weight of the item you put in the "bagging area" is the same as the weight of the item that you rung up.

Just put the items you're buying in the "bagging area" but not in a bag. Then finish your transaction. Then you can stick 'em in your backpack or just carry it or whatever else.

>>6264718
This to me is the worst. It happens all the time, and if the item has already been weighed and added to my bill who the fuck cares where I put it after that?

>>6264789

I do but it's a pointless extra step, you know how you steal stuff?
You don't wring it up and you don't put it on the scale, it's not hard I see people do it all the time while the observer fiddles on their phone

>>6264789
>>6264813
This

Why not fiddle around with the machine a bit, dump all your shit in the "scale area", swipe your card (can be a "sample" card with nothing on it from the CC company for all I care, no machine is reading it), pretend to take a receipt, and then leave?

No one would be any the wiser, and you've just stolen EVERYTHING, rather than the one thing this shitty system is trying to stop you from.

>>6263947

You have a little radio placed at the machine and whisper "Assistant has been notified" while nobody is looking and you'll look at the customer, understandingly, and say "Yeah those things mess up a lot of times, don't worry"

self check outs save the store money. It still charges you the same price as if a cashier checked you out.
If the store is saving money, then there needs to be a discount for using it.

No discount, then get that useless slut over to a register and get her to ringing and packing my bags.

>>6263947
The problem isn't that they don't understand how to use computers, its that the interface on self-checkouts is so fucking slow and asinine. Half the problems are with the goddamn scales messing up or buttons take a minute before registering. I don't even know why they bother with the scales because its not like they actually do anything. If I was gonna steal something I'd just put it in a bag and wait for a cashier to come push the override button, they never actually check to make sure.

>>6265394
>wanting to carry five tiny plastic bags instead of a single cloth one

Do you enjoy dropping things?

>>6265400
Why not just put the five plastic bags into the cloth bag when you get to your car? Bringing your own bags wastes everyone's time. The cashiers are used to just using the plastic bags that are provided, having to mess with someones smelly old cloth bags slows everything down.

>>6265400
>Do you enjoy dropping things?

Everything on a self-checkout gets weighed. See >>6264789

>>6266769
that's shitskins for you. everywhere they go they turn into shit.

>>6267028
Yes, but when you're processing avocados you don't put them on the scanner scale and weigh them for a price, they're sold by "each." It's gonna look really suspicious to see avocados getting weighed.

>>6267064
>It's gonna look really suspicious to see avocados getting weighed.

It is? When I use the self checkout I always put the product on the scanner/scale, even if it's something sold by each. Why? Because it frees up my hands to use the screen to select the produce. It's a pretty simple system: take product out of basket. Put product on scanner/scale. Scan/weigh/enter qty on screen. Put product in bagging area. Repeat until basket is empty.

This, 100%.

I used to run them at a Stop and Shop man (Giant in the Mid-Atlantic). They fucking suck, but now I can at least use them reasonably well. Also easy to steal from should I ever want to. I'm not a nigger of course, so I don't.

Between those self-scan wands and self-checkout my shopping trips go fast as fuck.

>>6267028
>>6267064
>>6267088
>>6267064
Some places get the weight on everything for when you put it on the belt / bagging area. I once caught a guy trying to steal chicken by holding a Kool-Aid packet over the barcode because it kept bitching at him to remove the item from the belt.

Chances are if it's doing that then the thing itself is broken, the weight isn't in the system properly, or someone is trying to cheat the machine.

>tfw you see the office's resident woman fiddling with something in the office kitchen

>>6267326
because it's faster when you're only buying like 2 items.

>>6267326
There's this one super qt Arab chick who works at my local Kroger, gosh she's so cute. Otherwise though, its all hags, who admittedly are good and fast at the job, but if I can get to a self checkout immediately, I am faster.

>>6267877
>if I can get to a self checkout immediately, I am faster.

I'm curious about this. I haven't timed it, but I am quite sure that a normal cashier is faster than the self-checkout because their system doesn't have a delay in between scanning products. They can scan items right after another very quickly. However the self checkout always has that lag while it checks the weight of each item as you go.

>>6267915
True but the problem is that you get all the lazy people and people with 100+ items going through the manned checkout, so you often have to wait 5 minutes or more just to REACH the checkout. Sometimes its the same with self checkout, which is why I was like, "If I can get to the self checkout IMMEDIATELY". Though, for whatever reason, you have some of the stupidest people on earth going to the SCOs, and they are all like "durrrrr....."

That said, if that one employee that mans them is on their game, it will go fast no matter what. Problem is, they are frequently talking to other employees about stupid bullshit.

What makes things worse is that in my area, or at least at the store I frequent, it used to be that if you bought alcohol, the employee could override it from their station. Now, for whatever reason, they have to physically walk to each checkout that has the "omg alochol!!!" issue and press a button, type in a number, and scan their employee card. They still don't I.D. me, so it all seems rather pointless.

Are self checkouts a recent thing? I haven't been going out much since 2008 and they were not a thing then

>>6267972

They were around back then but weren't as common. These days they're pretty much everywhere.

>>6267972
They've been installed at Kroger, Safeway, Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco in my area. Not at Walmart though, which would take away 99% of my frustration of shopping there (not that I go there more than once a year anyway, but maybe that would improve with SCOs....)

I went to a richer town a good drive's away and their Walmart had SCOs.

doing groceries job, fuck that shit. and bagging food you bought. wtf. let them do it.

>>6269318
But then I have to tip the bagger...

Just FYI on how SCO's work.

All items have a given weight or an acceptable weight range.

So if the item you place in the bagging area isn't the correct weight, like a box of biscuits, or doesn't match what it thinks it should weigh, like produce items sold per item not weight, then it flags it.

>>6269121
not if you're buying onions

self checkout tends to be one queue leading to anything between four and 24 self scanners. regular checkout tends to be choose a queue, just one cashier at the end. So even i each self scanner is slower, the larger capacity makes the queue move quicker. And it's queuing that takes the most time, not scanning.

No item limit on self-serves in Australia, I take through full trolleys all the time, so much faster than other checkouts.
>tfw you have a full trolley and go through quicker than some backpacker with just a basket

Mind you we don't have coupons in Australia so that probably saves a lot of time.

Lolwut, I put my basket there if I have a basket. Fuck them that's their job. I've never had anyone complain about it, it's no harder than swiping things through normally unless you've stacked your basket to the brim or something.

>>6276906
You should free up your basket for the use of the next customer. It is people like you that get me stared at for 3 small items in a family shopping cart.

They aren't saving the store money if someone still has to stand there for an 8 hour shift manning them. Every store I've worked in had this, sometimes more than one section of self check outs that had to be run by a person who was trained to do so. They even pay that person more money to do it.

If anything, it's more costly.

>>6265882
Not only that but where I live you get automatically fired, have to pay a fine, the store has to pay a fine... you really do not want to sell to someone who doesn't have ID.

>>6278037
What kind of shitty shops do you go to that don't have excess baskets? I have never once seen a shop out of baskets. Usually if there aren't any by the door it's because none of the staff members moved them from the trays in front of the checkouts so you can just grab one from there.

>>6278400
They're the one being rude to Anon.

>>6263820
What's different about these?

>>6278360
They are mate. Even with theft they save the shops heaps of money.

Source: Know an area manager for a chain of supermarkets and also know a manager.
Also basic fucking logic, if they cost more money than they saved shops wouldn't be replacing all their regular checkouts with self-serves.
Shit nigga I've been in shops at times with low amounts of customers and the only checkout they have open is self-serve.

>>6263820
hahaha I'm french and I use the EXACT same little scan pistols. It's great to never have to put your items on the carpet anymore. No queue too. haha I love those.

>>6263820
>>6279067
Oh wait a second, so you scan the shit you want to buy as you move through the shop and then redock it at the end and it gives you your total and shit?
That is pretty sweet. They should turn that into a phone app, they've already got free wifi, may as well take advantage of the network and let people scan their shit with their mobile.

>>6278385
What the fuck is this terrifying thing. It looks like a living penis trying to escape burns.

>using self checkout

you could have a PhD in knowing exactly how to use a self checkout and it'll still fucking fuck up in some random way and force you to wait 5 minutes for the cashier to be done fixing every other fucking self checkout before they can come to yours, tell you how much they hate self check outs, fix it and leave to go back to fix the other self checkouts AGAIN. I swear to fuck if these phase out functional checkouts I'm quitting society and living in a forest.

>>6279086
>Oh wait a second, so you scan the shit you want to buy as you move through the shop and then redock it at the end and it gives you your total and shit?

Yes. But you don't even have to redock, you have to give it to the dedicated cashier (no lane) who take the scanner and give you the paying ticket.

On the scan you can check the products you're buying. You see the prices and the total, sometimes you get direct reduction who pop-up on it too. haha

>smartphone
Yea but they don't have the infrared scan like them. They would be using the internet connection to get the prices.

Scanning barcodes is literally the same technology as QR codes. Optical recognition software easy peasy.

>>6279144
I've never really had a problem with self serve, you just scan it and put it in. Only time I prefer using a cashier is when I'm doing a big shop because fuck scanning it all.

>>6279165
>They would be using the internet connection to get the prices.
Like I said, supermarkets already have wifi they could just have a database of prices on the local network and have the app connect to that database when scanning barcodes.

>>6279185
Just put it on the scale but don't put it in a bag. It's trying to weigh it to make sure you're not scanning something cheap and then putting through something expensive.

Which brings up a good question.
>>6279165
With those hand scanners do you still weigh your stuff at the end? How do they stop people lying?

>10 pm
>6 different people using self checkout machines
>security guard watches me only

>>6279343
They can monitor your purchases on a central screen, so if he was staring it was probably because he wanted to take you out for a milkshake.

>>6278360
They have one person monitor 4-6 self checkout stations. This frees up regular check out lanes, which means they don't need as many people working those. In the end they save money, paying one person slightly above minimum wage is less costly then paying 4 cashiers and 4 baggers minimum wage

Germs in the environment are fine, having a certain exposure to microbes will strengthen your immune system and reduce things like allergies. It is impossible to get sick from putting produce onto a scale, that's not how germs work. Wash your hands and your produce before consuming it and you have nothing to worry about. Besides, I hope you never find out what happens in the kitchens of restaurants everywhere because the truth would put you off food forever.
