Other people have this problem, but it's mostly fucking retards anyway.
Anyone who has a problem with them should be ashamed, and anyone who complains about it
automatically outs themselves as a fucking idiot. It's good to know who those people are, I just
wish I didn't have to listen to them.

He's absolutely right though. Self checkout lanes have always been more trouble than they are
worth, never have I found a single system that actually saved me time and hassle. They could be
decent, but right now they surely aren't.

Dude, you don't even have to touch the machine.
You bring the barcode to the scanner, it starts, then you dump the money in.
If it can't be scanned then you have to type in the code and dump the money in.
Only retards have an issue with them.

Yeah, no. Even if all I did was buy packaged shit, it is still slower and more of a hassle to
bother with that bullshit instead of letting a cashier and bagger do it for me in the same time
or less.

Didn't watch, but I fucking despise self check out. If Wal-Mart wants me to work for them they
have to pay me, and minimum wage isn't going to cut it.
If I'm about to check out and there are no lanes with an attendant I just put down my basket and
leave.

That literally only applies to fresh fruit and vegetables and even then there's still an option
on there to weigh the things and get it over and done with.
>nothing else goes wrong with the machine (which it will)
Here's a tip, if something has gone wrong it's your fault.
>it is still slower and more of a hassle to bother
How?
You just have to swipe it past and drop the money in, if you have a points card thing you swipe
that too. The whole ordeal is faster than dealing with some cashier that doesn't want to be there
unless you're completely inept.

Because it's not my fucking job to be a cashier, someone who has that actual job position and has
memorized all the bullshit that goes on is going to be faster, a traditional checkout system that
has been stress tested for the last decade is always going to be more bug free than something
that hasn't, and because during all of that I don't actually have to do anything but look at some
economist article on my phone until I have to just swipe my card, which is infinitely less hassle
than doing that bullshit myself.

What store that has those in the open like that even has self checkouts?
Usually you would have to go to some specialist store.
>What are you a shill for the self checkout kiosk industry?
No I'm a person that likes to call retards out on their shit.
>someone who has that actual job position and has memorized all the bullshit
What bullshit?
There's literally two to three steps in the process. Half of this shit is shit you would do at
the bank on a regular basis.
Normally
>scan
>put in money
With fresh foods
>press fresh foods
>select fresh food
>drop in money
To top it off this shit is said to you out loud and all of the people within a 10 meter radius
can hear it too. The only issue you should be having with it is if it runs out of money to give
you change.

I'm too lazy to swipe my packaged sawdust from Whole Foods over a red laser, I need to red THE

on average going through express is faster than self-check

its just the new generation of comedy. being mad at everything makes you funny apparently.
that form of comedy is unfortunately growing into a complete mindset for lots of people. instead
of "I'm mad and that makes me funny", its turned into "I'm mad and that makes me smart", and now
being mad at stupid shit makes you a good person, to a lot of people

Cashier here; self check out is inferior to cashiers and I'm not saying that to keep my job.
I've got literally hundreds of PLU's memorized for various non-scanning items, dozens of
different procedures memorized, knowledge of when and how to calculate discounts, knowledge of
where to find items in the store that you forgot and can run and get while I handle the rest of
your shit, knowledge and experience of how to pack your shit in a bag so it doesn't bottom out on
you all over the sidewalk or so your eggs aren't smashed by the time you get home... I could go
on.
But most importantly, I am at least 3x quicker than you at checking your items in general.
I do check shit out like I'm paid to do it, because I am, wheres you'll just do it idly as you
contemplate what to make for dinner when you get home, or who you think's gonna win that sports
game, or whatever else is on your mind.
I'm also there to make sure that everything is calculated accurately and nobody's stealing (or
overpaying), all you need to do is focus on paying and getting out of the way for the next
customer.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-automation and would rather we have robots building things in
factories then people because of the efficiency and accuracy benefits, but when it comes to
situations where a customer is directly involved you ALWAYS want to have a human.

Yeah, that's okay. The only bad thing about self-checkout is waiting for the idiots in front of
you who dont understand that they're leaning on the weighted platform and that's why it keeps
telling them to remove the unexpected item after it tells them to bag the thing they just scanned.

The only thing keeping you in work is the fact that you can fetch coins when you run out and that
the majority of people that come to you are retards. The machine can do nearly everything you
little shits can do without the annoying voice.
I used to do maintenance on them and caught glances at the useless cashiers.

That is what he's saying. But he's also saying that shouldn't be the case.
Although that point of
>Where a customer is directlly involved you ALWAYS want to have a human
seems a bit strange to me, because when I make purchases online, there isn't a human directly
involved in confirming the transaction.
Unless you count the person receiving the order and shipping it, but I dunno.

you're either retarded or trolling. if LITERALLY ANYTHING goes wrong, it disables the machine and
someone has to punch some code in to get it working again. example:

I've never had a clerk be slower than self check, even the mentally retarded ones.. Self check
forces you to scan one thing at a time and load it before moving on to the next; clerk scans them
