Supermarket Cashier or Self-Checkout?

  1. I was in a large chain supermarket today, and found a very good sale on something, I thought it must have been a mistake, so I took 16 of them.  Not only was the price about 1/3 the usual, the machine only charged me for 9 of them.  If I had bought these at the regular, non-sale price, it would have cost about $45.00.  I ended up paying $7.75.  
     
    If I had gone to a human checkout person, this would not have happened.  
     
    Serves the stores right for putting these employee-replacing machines in.  :smoke:

     
  2. I hate those things,if i had wanted a job in a supermarket.i would have handed my fucking CV in.

    But good for you :)

  3. I like them especially when I don't feel like dealing with someone.
     
  4. I like them, but the one in the supermarket here is in an awkward position. So like during Fridays the whole walkway gets blocked not only with self checkout customers but cashiers too. 
    Hard to tell where the line ends most of the time. 
     
  5. if it gets me out quicker, fuck it THIS LANES OPEN! im the type of person that knows what im going for and dont require small talk that everyone seems to want to share with me...do i really look that inviting and talkative? damnit.
     
  6. fuck those self checkout lines...takes 10x longer, gotta rescan shit like 3 times, if you have coupons/food stamps then theres a whole 'nother level of annoying to deal with. I like the cashier cause I get to make awkward conversations whilst being stoned as shit, but for real doe cashier over self checkout any day
     
  7. I dont recommend "Self Checkouts."  Alot of people have been accused of theft using them.
     
  8. Op stole 7 items.

    They are coming.
     
  9. Lol keep your receipt and then prove you didn't I've never been accused of stealing using the self checkout I honestly love them. I can scan the shit faster then the workers and get in and out 1000x faster.
     
  10. The check out lane usually doesn't have people with 50 items in their cart. It's definitely quicker.

    Plus I like bagging my own shit. Things have to be properly arranged.
     
  11. I like the cashier lane if I'm high.

  12. Id like to speak with a human

  13. Impatience is a business tactic.
    Shut up and hand me your money
     
  14. luddite here, i refuse to engage
     
  15. depends on the situation..  if i have a hundred fuckn things, then self checkout isnt very convenient.. is it?
     
  16. it all depends how much shit i have...only thing i hate about the self check out lines is when its like..place item on the belt. and your place it on the belt. and it goes..then it fuckin comes back then makes you call some person over. but even at self check out lines my gf will bag :D
     
  17. Cashier because I don't want to see robots steal people's jobs
     
  18. I rather enjoy the social interaction of using a cashier, and if its slow (like the middle of the night) I also want to make people do their jobs. It keeps managers from telling them to do busy work, and gives them something to do.
     
    If its busy and i only wanted a drink or something though, I'll use self check out. 
     
  19. Self service particularly if I'm buying condoms or some shit, if I have a decent amount of stuff I'll let the cashier deal with it, otherwise self service then I don't have to hear someone pretending to care how my day has been thus far and can go back to the real world where my real friends dwell.
     
  20. Self service if it's a few items and no alcohol/other age restricted item (so I don't have to wait for someone to authorise the purchase). I've worked tills in three shops so I'm usually pretty fast at the whole process. I do find that doing a whole shop or buying alcohol is quicker at a regular till though.
