Eh, there are plenty of reasons to prefer self checkout, they aren't all autistic.

For instance, I go to the supermarket closest to my house a lot, and they have really low turnover. This means I KNOW who is going to be checking me out most of the time. Yes, I don't want to deal with the supertrash who doubles the amount of time I spend in line bullshitting with each person about how his woman cheated on him or Obama conspiracies. There's another guy that looks very much like a slug and moves about as quickly. Not sure how he hasn't gotten fired, because the fucker can't into arithmetic, always have to double check my change.

I go to Safeway exclusively on Fridays since they aren't close but the deals sometimes justify it. The closest one is a block down from a gigantic old people storage complex. It's like swimming through molasses already just shopping, I don't need to get in line behind the endless stream of grandmas that can't be assed to get their fucking coupons and cash ready, but the self checkouts are always open because computers are hard.

The store I work at has a really sweet set up. There's the scanner/scale, two belts (one "checks" the item, the next delivers it to the next section), and then the big ass bagging area. Of course, there are still problems, but they're easily mitigated. The problem with it is that almost every self-checkout area is weight based, so if it's just slightly off it can cause problems.

Sunday evening I was in a super walmart. Let me paint the scene: There were six regular (ie, not self checkout) registers open, two of those registers were 20 items or less, every open register had a line approximately 10-15 people deep.

I've got probably 45 items in my basket, I've found the shortest, fastest moving line and committed to it. Little did I know what I had to look forward to.

There's a family of black women shopping together at the head of the line, one in her mid 40s, one in her late teens/early 20s and an infant in a car seat. Between the two adults they have two baskets of shit.

What ever is going on at the head of the line is chaos. The clerk has been ringing them up for 30 minutes, I've been in line 45 minutes and only one customer has completed their transaction.

I look ahead to see the clerk is taking already scanned and bagged items from their basket and is re-examining them.

I can only assume that these idiots have confused their food stamp eligible products with their non-food stamp eligible products, and now the clerk is going to have to remove all of those items.

Meanwhile the woman in front of me is tormenting her bratty cunt of a 7 year old daughter, who is crying and throwing a tantrum because she can't have the pair of glittery cowboy boots she wants.

>STACY, PUT THOSE BACK!
>BBBBBUUUUTTTT MA~sob~MA~sob! I WA~sob~NT TH~sob~EM!
>You know what you missed? Miss Alexander brought Kolache for breakfast and you were asleep.
>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

At this point, I've had enough, I move my basket out of the line, wish the very nice hispanic lady behind me good luck, and walk out.

Fucking biggest waste of time ever. If you want to pull that shit go to a self serve and just chuck all your change in and let it the machine count it for you. If you're that hard set on not wanting change then fucking start using eftpos you stupid cunt.

It's impossible for any bill to be a number that would require "loads of change". Unless you're dealing with pennies or some shit. At the very most it's five coins (if the total is ~0.55/0.65/5.55/5.65) and usually it's only two or three coins.

>If you don't like your shitty boring job, get some fucking skills
Almost like I'm working my way through college.
If they want to avoid having 3lbs of various coinage in their pocket than take it to self serve or use eftpos. It's their problem and I don't even acknowledge it any more, if they give me the note first I get their change ready, if they start saying that they can "help me" by getting additional coins I inform them I've already got their change prepared.
I don't care if they want to talk to me, I'm all for that. I don't even care if they want to unload coins, but when they act like jerks who believe it 's for my benefit - that's my only real problem.
>Getting butthurt because people are carrying o that minor inconveniences upset them
That's what this thread is about. I'm pretty sure I just hit a little close to home because you pull this shit and don't realise the cashier who you have "small talk" and an imaginary friendship with actually thinks your a piece of shit.

When hundreds of bags are getting sold a week, nobody notices 1 bag missing. It's impossible unless you go out into the store, count the bags go into the warehouse count the bags and do a full search of the store to make sure nobody picked up the bag and was too lazy to put it back where it goes so they just stuff it on another shelf (which happens a lot)

And even if they do realize someone stole it they would have no idea how it was stolen, they would probably assume someone just stuffed it down their pants and they would think no big deal of it. Shit happens.

Sequencing is getting cheaper and cheaper and people are generating an incredible amount of data. There are now degrees in bioinformatics. I would totally recommend going this route if you are interested in computers, biology, and a strong growing field (with excellent job prospects).

I only have one of his posts. He claims to be rich and volunteered in Micronesia, Malawi and all these other countries. Good stuff.

I know I am not the most popular persona on /ck/ but I cannot do anything about people with sour grapes, crabs-in-a-barrel mentalities. I am highly educated, have an educated, wealthy and close family, have a good income and excellent stipend, have traveled extensively, participated in many charitable activities and enjoy the finer things while being considerate and occupied with the notion of self-actualization.

With the onslaught of fast food threads I have to say this: my dog literally eats better than most of you on /ck/.

He is a 3-year-old Vizsla imported from a world-renowned Hungarian breeder. I can trace his bloodline back over 20 generations.

What do I feed him? Various beef, lamb, rabbit, waterfowl and venison quality cuts and organs (including bone, heart, neck, liver, kidney). I supplement his diet with good greens and sweet potato.

It probably costs $7-12 a day to feed him, but I must admit he works hard and deserves it. When we go bird hunting I reserve good portions from the hunt and feed him that. He loves sauteed Goldeneye or Mallard hearts.

I would never consider giving him half the things people on /ck/ post.

If he can eat this well, why don't you try to? You are what you eat after all. You can be a lean and prized self-actualized individual or you can be an overweight, unmotivated, lazy slob who wastes his life while making terrible dietary choices.

Choices. That's the key word. I hope you reflect on this and make a better choice for your next meal.

At my store, there's a monitor the attendant watches to make sure people are ringing up the correct codes for items. I've never seen people ring themselves up much too cheaper on purpose.

There is usually one teenage attendant for 6-8 checkouts. It would be easy to not even scan items and take them, because the second the scale error comes up they just waive it through without checking. They don't move from their podium.

I was asked once about it a few years ago. I bought like $40 worth of chia seeds and used the cheap raisin code. I actually bought dried cranberries, so I just act surprised and then bought them. The person was very apologetic and gracious.

Is there much difference in their behaviours? I'm not familiar with weimaraner dogs at all beyond them being nearly identical to vizsla. They're like both people choosing the same character in a 16-bit era fighting game and one gets the character in the alternate colour map.

Huge difference. Weimeramers are much larger than Vizslas and much more likely to exhibit separation anxiety and nervous behavior. I think most of the ones in N. America are mostly show lines with little hunt left in them.

GSPs and Vizslas aren't nearly as crazy as Weimeramers. GSPs have more energy than Vizslas and work on a longer lead. People call Vizslas "velcro dogs" because they hunt/stay close to their owner, while GSPs are more independent.

It's nice when they donate their items to shelters or charities but the ones who just buy to resell or do it for the sake of shopping as cheaply as possible seem like they're really wasting their time and money.

>It's a doggy dog world
I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

The self checkouts are a double edged sword. On one hand, they can have 4-6 open at all times (if they fucking work), while the huge mexican families and soccer moms take up all the normal lanes and you just want your 12 pack of redbull or whatever. Also, I don't have a problem buying condoms from a cashier, it might be slightly awkward, but whatever. But if you have to buy lube...yeah I'm gonna go to the self checkout and pray it doesn't fuck up on me. God that would be way worse. "I-I don't need that lube for anal, I don't do that, it's strictly for masturbation and/or my girlfriends pussy if she wants to use her vibrator while I'm fucking her. No anal." But instead I would just stand there and get really sweaty palms while they silently punch in the code to clear the thing.

I make it a point to use the self checkout machine whenever I buy something really big, so I can sit it on their precious bagging area and overload the sensor.

Fuck those machines, they're a pain in the ass. The only reason they're popular with shitty retailers is because you can have one employee overseeing 4-8 (effectively) 'express' lanes, thus reducing your operating cost while pissing off more customers.

You don't know these people, you don't give a fuck about awkwardness. You could buy a pregnancy test and a coat hanger, they wouldn't give a single tiny fuck. They just beep items all day long, they don't analyse your life. That's the NSA's job.

And lube is not awkward, just like condoms (they sell them together don't they?), and who gives a fuck you do anal on your GF ? Or BF, or yourself?

Plus, I've had to explain to 3 /b/astards to use lube for anal just this week, sounds like even on 4chan only few associate lube with anal... Yeah, they were stupid underage virginfags, just like the guy beeping your lube.

That's a good point. I've never seen a grocery store with a hopper system that feeds to the checkout lanes. Probably because it would be very long, and it's hard to use those seatbelt line poles when you need a larger turnaround area for the carts.

Weird since I've seen it at Best Buy, which was completely unnecessary (other than the store design which funnels traffic there)

We also have a chiller room(~4 deg. celcius) that I work in quite a bit, but we have a beefy jacket for going in there. There's also a freezer room around -20 celcius, but I don't go in there for more than a few seconds to measure temperature.

Some store chains and governments limit the number of products containing certain levels of pseudoephedrine that can be purchased by one person per day/transaction because it's used as a main ingredient in creating meth

Also some items have replaced it with Phenylephrine but for the most part buying the stronger cold and allergy medication requires id/dob because they're also not supposed to be sold to minors. Too many kids chugging cold medicine to get high.

I don't know about anyone else, but my least favorite person in the grocery store is the weirdo that keeps his headphones on while grocery shopping. Invariably I will have shopping cart traffic issues with them every time I cross their path (which I'm guessing everyone else does too). The thing that pisses me off is they have a tendency to act like it is everyone else's problem that they are totally unaware of the world around them and causing problems for everyone they cross. I'm a pretty peaceful dude but I often get an intense urge to slap these goofballs around and take their headphones away from them. Then I laugh a little and forget about it.

I live so close to my local grocery store that it's like a 2 minute walk to it.
I've gotten really good at the self checkout.
My proudest moment is when I managed to put a pot of water on the stove and make it to the store & back before it started to boil. And yes somebody else was in the house, I didn't leave a pot on the stove unattended.

I don't get all the hate for self checkout, it's not rocket science. You just need a fucking ounce of a patience. You scan ONE THING AT A TIME and let the machine weigh it in the bagging area BEFORE you pick up the next item. You can't rapid fire BEEP BEEP BEEP all your items on self checkout machines, it's just not how they work.

Once you get fast with them you can cut down the time you spend waiting in lines at the store by quite a bit because most people are afraid of the self checkouts. Unless Shequila LeQuwandry Leshandra and her friend Letoya O'shac are on the self checkouts and can't follow BASIC FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED ON SCREEN.

Guys, I realized that the trader joes near me is full of qts. Like the cutest girl was behind me in line a few days ago.

I go to whole foods though because I can use the money my university gives me at it. The stores are less than a mile apart though but Whole Foods only has average girls and a bunch of older people who somehow get to our whole foods.

Moral of the story, go to trader joes, or at least ones near universities.

Once upon a time I arrived at the local Fred Meyer and there was a tour bus idling at the far end of the lot.

When I went inside I found the bus had disgorged a full load of Japanese high school girls in uniform. Navy blue sweaters over white dress shirts, gray heather pleated skirts, black socks and loafers. They were roaming about in small packs, speaking their unintelligible gibberish language in hushed tones, procuring snacks and such. They were tiny and delightfully homogeneous.

Spending time among them was magical. I will cherish the memory forever.

That's illegal "piracy". At the start of VHS/DVDs, there is a text saying it's not for rental and only for family viewing. Same on CDs.
They can play the radio, with ads, or look into CC content. jamendo.com offers "radios" for restaurants, supermarkets, shops, etc. (during a time, they would PAY you for sharing the link, as a "fuck you" gesture to HADOPI, a anti-piracy law in France that blocks your internet if you are a pirate (but you still pay for it).

It's like they NEED to buy shit if it's cheap even if they don't ever use or even like that product. Wouldn't they save more money, time, and effort just buying the shit they want/need?

Self checkout helps the store make money in that they get to have extra registers open without having to pay someone to man them. So on a busy day, it could be say 4 extra registers they're making money on without having to pay for 4 extra employees. (Maybe just the one who sometimes guards the to make sure you don't steal. Still a profit)

In America, we shove all of the old people that fought in WW2 into "assisted living" homes.

I think it's a combination of "the active ingredient tastes awful" and "we don't want people complaining that their kids like the taste so much they keep pretending to be sick".

Also, it's not like teens are exactly discouraged when it comes to drugs and the like. Anecdotally, most people don't enjoy their first experiences with alcohol or cigarettes or whatnot, but they go through with it anyway.

Well to bring the tone more towards funny stories at the grocery store compared to the ongoing debate about self checkout or not. I have a couple to add to the lot.

>my mom was a the grocery store the other day and told me there was this weird lady in the fruit aisle picking bananas and she seprated 3 of them into single units and put them in the bag. She then asked my mom if she thought they should sell them idividually instead of in a bundle. My mom was like huh well you can take them single if you want. The other woman then replied by saying she only gets a a few at a time because they go bad after a couple of days and she thinks its ridiculous to keep them in bundles like that and that they should detach every single one so she doesnt have to do it. My mom was like huh... ok... and gave her a WTF kinda look and walked away.

>young man around 23 or 24 at the time (now 26)
>be grocery shopping with a full cart and go to the clerck check out
>put all items on belt, bend over to grab a 10pound bag of potato under cart and put it on the conveyor.
>I pay for everything and as the lady puts a sticker on the potato bag because it doesnt fit in a bag she ask if I need some help with that.
>I ask what? really surprised

Plus she didnt even pay rent or a special fee to operate inside the compagny which is a big car dealership/garage where we are over 40 employees. Didn't even have to worry about elctricity bills. The food was more than descent and made with a special touch but damn I thought she could've made at least a 1k$ per week if she knew how to get her shit together. She did leave free leftovers of unsaled baked goods and other deserts when she left early friday afternoons which was nice.

You're a fucking retard, as a cashier I have been chewed out because middle aged women complain to upper management about me not saying "good bye" to them.

Try to make saying goodbye another "automotive" response to customers you don't care about nor give any attention to. If you don't wanna lose your pleb job.

Tell me more how about how you get complaints for not saying goodby to customers. Does your boss actually comme and see you and say" yaaa about those tps reports didn't you get the memo, that customer din't like the fact you forgot to say goodbye.

It was a multinational supermarket with a clothing section and an in-store pharmacy, not some small-time street corner shop, and I doubt you have ever worked in retail if you cannot comprehend a customer being upset over something so trivial.

well doubt no more because you are wrong. I have worked almost a year at a convenience store. And I hated it even though it was alright. I was really quick and knew most of the customers. heck sometimes I would even scan and bag their cigarettes and loterry ticket before they even got in the store whe I saw them park because I'm very good at remembering stuff and they would always come for the same shit every day. But I did have allot of retarded customers talking theirsweet time and asking stupid questions or glogging up the service with the'yre insane amount of lottery verification and buying when there was only one cash. I also worked as a waiter during the same period working both job sometimes in the same day. So I had my share of customer oriented service. But when it came to almost a year in I felt like I had to move on because it was eating me up little by little and I wasnt getting paid even a fraction of what I was worth for going above and beyond what was expected from me. So don't you lecture me about not knowing how to treat a customer or how it feels to be in this line of because I have seen both sides of the medal. I don't expect them to be all smiles and giggles but to at least aknowledge my presence and to look at me to see that I am satisfied and don't require any special treatment to carry my own fuckin potato bag since I am a fully fuctionnal young and healthy human being.

People who can't use the self checkout properly, and call over the cashier to come help (leaving the line going WTF!)
Exactly this happened to me in Tesco once, and the checkout girl hurried over to help some retard who was too fucking posh to queue (she was the only member of staff in the shop). I put a stop to it, and called to the checkout girl to quit with the moron and serve the people she was supposed to be serving.
Ms self-service shit4brains started cursing at me to "mind my own business", so I told her that if she needed human help, she should join the queue like everyone else.
Poor old shop-girl didn't know what to do, till the other people in the line started backing me up, then she left Ms selfish and came back to the till with a sneaky little smile on her face.
Ms Self-can't-serve had to join the back of the line.
Self-checkout is for non-retards.

Used to work for Brit supermarket.
Was code-checker/quality control
They had bogof system that charged full price, then knocked off price of one item at end.
Would regularly dent tins of ham, salmon, etc, then mark down to ridiculous price, and put in the staff bin out back (badly damaged items were not offered to the customer).
Do shop after shift. Bogof 1 marked down by 90%. Bogof 2 (undamaged) price knocked of rest of groceries.
Pay £1.20p. Go home with £10 worth of food.
Checkout girls knew what I was doing, but never said anything because I would leave other bogof items in the staff bins for them.
