My local grocery store self checkout after every single item:

Unexpected item in bagging area.

If they're going to treat me like I'm stealing the groceries I'm paying for, making the process slow and inefficient, then I'm just going to go to the regular checkout and not deal with it.

Haven't heard that in forever. It was hell for some time, but it seems a solved problem everywhere I've gone, for many years.

Any mistake during self-checkout and my local supermarkets will consider it shoplifting and pursue it all the way to court if needed. I'm not running that risk.

Nope, I gotta price match. I will wait for the cashier.

If I look at this topic the American skewedness is so obvious.

In Belgium the only thing you get by going the old fashioned way is they scan your shit and push it off at the end or you need to rush to put it in your cart. Same in The Netherlands. There are no baggers.

So yeah, let me just scan my items, put them in my bags like I want them, scan the thing at the self checkout, put scanner in tray, pay, walk out.

Every so often you get a bag check and if less people cheated on their scanning there would be less of that (is what they hope you think)

Self-checkout gang here. I like my groceries bagged a certain way and it's mildly infuriating to sort stuff on the conveyor belt only for the cashier and/or bagger to mix them randomly in the bags.

Cashier line: Empty

Me: "I don't come here to talk to people"

I love it when a cashier checkout is available because everyone is doing the self-checkout and I can get my stuff bagged properly (I’m terrible at bagging up). I’ll even chat with them as they’re in the middle of the most boring shift imaginable.

as a former cashier, fuck talking to people, the mind's enough
