Not really because they have to have someone there all the time standing around when they could be running a checkout probably just as fast.

dude if my nerves can barely handle the machine telling me I've got an error how am I supposed to cope with the stress of walking through the scanner that detects if you're stealing stuff

A newly built mega-mart on a borderline hood/suburb got rid of the self-check area and added 6 extra checkout lanes despite the already 10+ they had already because of all the low class ghetto "folks" that committed fraud there.

On an everyday basis there's only 2-3 lanes open, but they'll open a lane or two when it get's busy.

They also got rid of the hot food/deli take and pay policy because too many "shitskins" would get their fried chicken and eat it while they shopped, then discard the packaging without paying...

This always makes me wonder.
Why have a bazillion lanes if you only use 2 or 3?

Also in smaller shops, when they have like 2 or 3 checkout points, they only use one of them, no matter if it is the rush hour or a lunch hour.

[Anonymous No.4488333]

>>4488322
I sorry if that's how you had to survive, but it's still stealing. The ones I see who do this when I'm checking out already have "dignity" cards to pay for the mountains of food they're "entitled" to on top of it. Same goes for the ones who hide stuff under the cart and don't pay on top of all the theft. I only wish you the best to move forward and out of that dishonest life. Truly...

I'm absolutely with you, and I'm not from /pol/ btw... I'm a minority myself(first generation American), but nothing pisses me of more after working a 8+ hour day to buy 20-30 bucks worth of groceries than witnessing a brood of "shitskins" hold up the line with their 2 carts of 2-3 hundred dollars worth of groceries that they don't have to pay for.

It closes up the area that people try to just walk out with a cart and not paying without offending anyone. They stores aren't stupid , they block that gap. Even if it costs them money to do it, because they lose more money from theft on a day to day basis.

earlier this week I scanned all of my groceries as usual and paid for them as usual but right at the exit I panicked and turned back, becauseI had forgot to scan three items. I ended up being akward as fuck with the cashier because I was nervous about it for some reason.

Canada. Or at least Ontario, idk about the other provinces. Bags cost 5 cents. It's fucking bullshit but some cashiers don't give a fuck, most do give that fuck though.

Hell, every Tuesday at my local loblaws students get 10% off. That has been where and when I've done my groceries for the past 4 years and they always just give it to me.

>early Tuesday am
>just woke up

>show him my international student id card (ISIC) which doubles as a buspass during fall and winter semester
>"This is expired"
>Yea, as a bus pass, it's still a valid I.D.
>"This is expired"
>... if I want to ride the bus with it, yes, I've been using it to write exams for the past two years
>"This is expired" still that same retarded-smug look on his fat face
>fuck you, you've got to be fucking kidding me?
>leave

That was the only time in my life I've sworn at an employee anywhere and I didn't even feel bad. I know it was just 90 cents but what the fuck? Can't you just take my word for it? Literally every other employee just automatically rings it in. You don't get paid less every time you give someone the student discount on fucking student discount day!
