Why is Self Checkout not more common?
Because most customers don't understand how to use them.
It's really nice when you have less than 15 products.
here in austria its slowly coming to every store.... i love it, can't interact with people for shit. and cashiers are always ugly, thank god i dont have to deal with them anymore
This store is too large for sustain
Every store I go to has self-checkout.
Shit is slower than a cashier. you get the illusion of goig fast because the line is not at the machine.
Also theft, requires just as much people to check as a normal line
Every single chain grocery or otherwise store has them. They're alright, easy-ish to get your card info compromised though
In my opinion, this is slower at first, but when you are used to it, it's pretty fast.
And the fact that it requires just as much people means not too many jobs are lost.
So in my opinion, it's still pretty nice to have the option.
Haven't ever seen one. I also would not really care for it.
>fill a bag with $50 in almond flour
>put in as bananas
Imagine the rate of theft for stores in "certain areas"
>Every store I go to has self-checkout.
this.
Because niggers pretend to scan and steal shit. It's an honor system that just cant work in some demographics.
Because you need a card
This will take jobs away from teens, creating more NEETS.
Retarded
They're uncommon because the machines are too expensive to buy with the on-hand cash of the stores. When the store is first built, the financial risk is much smaller to hire cashiers than buy $five-figure$ machines. So the banks won't loan for them. After the store is built, there isn't enough on-hand cash to buy them--or the long term savings don't justify the investment. The only situation where you would see a lot of them is one in which a gigantic company had enough cash to avoid banks altogether when building the store.
That and they're very easy to steal from. i get free chocolate milk all the time with my groceries from Walmart.
Not really
>4 out of 30 lanes are open
>either it's some dirty foreigner, old person, or dirty old foreigner
>takes so long to scan shit and bag it
>can't even bag right half the time
>have to wait to pay and put it in cart
Self checkout
>scan shit as quickly as you can find barcode
>ram credit card in Machine
>bag shit how you want
>lines move faster as younger people can do it quickly
Its more expensive for the owner of the store - saves having to deal with whiny annoying staff but in the end it costs more - trust me my family has owned supermarkets since the 70s.
Huh? Not at my stores
Doesn't that violate the NAP?
WTF I hate capitalism now.
I've been to Walmarts near shitty neighborhoods (I live in Niggerland Baton Rouge) and there are always security guards watching.
They have scales though, you can't do this except for light items
My Nietzschean Ancap worldview tells me that if you aren't able to protect your property you have no claim to it. Also if I'm Walmart I really, really don't give a shit.
It's also good when you're obviously drunk and you're hoping nobody will notice.
Wouldnt the money saved on the machines, the old lady they have watching 4 machines, the security guard behind her, the security guy watching the cameras, and the greeter who checks receipts be better used on just a fucking cashier and a security guard? But I guess the White Walmarts make enough to fund the black ones.
I wouldn't know, as I don't drink.
Every supermarket in Australia is fitted with these, they are great.
Theres also an option that lets you not bag an item and skip the scale.
It's kinda tedious if you bought a lot of groceries.
Hate people that have trollies and use them. Gives me the shits.
Then you have no excuse for liking these things.
I use them about two or three times a year.
>bag it
right, i forgot you people literally pay negroes to bag your shit
In those particular Walmarts, probably yes. But it looks racist for Walmart corporate to build a shittier Walmart on the bad part of town.
imo its because they're usually marked "15 items or less." At least where I live we don't often go to the grocery store to pick up a few things, but rather to stock up for a week or two.
depends
It doesn' work for people who do their shopping once a week and fill a cart.
Because it's slower, and people use it to steal shit.
because it relais on the hosnesty of the consumer
They usually don't accept cash, so if you don't have credit/debit it isn't an option.
I hate self check-outs when there are no other human operated cash registers open.
If only self-check out are open, you always have this old geezer who can't operate it and wastes an hour to scan his 2 shitty items.
Furthermore, the self-checkout is a pain in the ass to use. It will randomly lock during operation because you didn't place the item dead center, or because you moved it slightly, and the fucking fat nigresses who manage the cash registers are too busy doing their nails to overwrite the lock, which makes it significantly slower.
On top of that, they basically make me do the job they used to pay someone to do. At the very least, I should get something if I'm gonna be my own cashier, seeing as cashiers usually get paid to scan shit.
Every single one I've used accepts cash.
>usually don't accept cash
wew lad
I didn't know it was that bad already. Apparently now Visa is offering restaurants $10k bonus to go cashless.
All of my this.
Most do in the UK. Problem is that you need them to be manned anyway.
The best of both worlds is the Aldi till system where you have a packing bench and tell the customers not to pack AT the till if they have more than a few items, to alleviate the need for self serve, which still requires eyes on the floor and even theft prevention due to how easy it is to not scan something, accidentally or intentionally.
I welcome the day where stores just don't exist and instead warehouses with pre boxed and delivered orders of goods are the majority.
Retail in stores is fucking abysmal and toxic to both employees and customers due to the nature of the business.
WE DONT HAVE DIS IN MEXICO, WHEN I GO TO FAT AND RETARDED TEXAS THEY HAVE THIS AND I ALWAYS PUTO NOT BAG THIS ITEM BUT I DONT CARE AND I STEAL A BAG.
Every self checkout I've used accepted cash.
Home depot, Walmart, Kroger all took cash
Yep old folks avoid the self checkout so we don't have their slow asses scanning each products.
The ability of people to properly use them has been greatly oversold by the vendors of such equipment.
most grocery stores have them, hell, the one I'd describe the ghetto one in my area even has the fuckers.
>Majority of people are not technology savvy.
The general public can only go as far as using Facebook/instagram/ twitter.
Anything beyond that is a foreign concept.
I work for a software company and we get daily calls stating the software "destroyed" their computer.
8/10 times it's unplugged or the power is out.
The other times, their Internet is down.
It' just not reliable for me. The few time I used them, sometime it went really fast, sometime products weren't just refused to scan, and once I waited forever because people were chatting the whole time and since there's no cashier to do the job, it just lasted and lasted.
Overall I prefer using the standard line, cashier there just scan, so you bag yourself and it's fast enough.
Because many people, like me, prefer having a human contact instead of just another machine.
Muh low skill labor...
Just order on the internet and get delivered.
>swipe $2 worth of assortment of nuts
>carry out of the shop $12 worth
Because people will get away with crime when they think they can.
I'll use self checkout just as soon as they start giving me a paycheck for being a cashier. Fucking faggots trying to make you do the work for them.
niggers
>toxic
are you from tumblr
I dunno it can be very profitable if done strategically.
I mean you didn't get training and couldn't tell the difference between say a lobster and a fish sticks. So how can they blame you if you swiped fish sticks?
why would I do the stores work for free
fuck them, they can bag my stuff
niggers
This. Almost every place I've ever been to with a self-checkout had to have an employee who could assist people with how to work the machine or for alcoholic purchases.
It's a god damn step by step guided touch screen. How do so many people fuck it up?
No one who works in a convenience store gives a fuck if you're drunk. They make minimum wage.
They don't have self-checkouts in nigger infested areas. At least I don't think there's self-checkouts in liquor stores.
>No one who works in a convenience store gives a fuck if you're drunk. They make minimum wage.
I give a fuck if I'm drunk. Sorry if I'm too white for you.
I've only resorted to the robot isle once because of this and it was nothing but crushing shame. I go to the checkout lady errytime, and help bag when the opportunity presents itself.
>go to expensive stores with only white people
>absolutely no one watching
>my grocery expenses are now 20% lower
I started to eat expensive meat again, I just forget to scan it and here goes 15$.
I should get a 10% discount if I do it myself, as I'm basically doing the job of the cashiers lol.
Why would you be ashamed of being drunk in a convenience store? Do you think they're not used to that? Are you walking into stores hammered at 1 in the afternoon or something?
The person who makes a couple hundred bucks a week isn't going to care or remember you unless you're puking your guts out on the floor and too drunk to walk.
>white
>steal food
>nice country
You're a feral nigger.
What if you earned more money and didn't have to risk going to prison for a long time just to save 20% on groceries...?
Like I said, it's not what they think of me. It's what I think of me.
This
At least in American, approximately 95% of customers will need assistance with self checkout.
When it real busy , self checkout seems to make the lines even longer
You would have had your picture taken for next time.
do you never leave your house? these are really common in netherlands. practically every albert heijn has them for example
all the ones ive used take cash
Nobody cares what you so long as your nice.
If you're being mean you can fuck off.
but im white and i steal shit all the time using self checkouts
These are great for stealing.
Label swapping meat works really well. Weighing all produce as bananas. Small expensive items can just be thrown in with a bag of apples and weighed.
I never use them. Why should i be a cashier/checkout person if the store isnt paying me for it.
Fuck the store trying to save money on workers by getting me to do the job for free, i dont use them on principle.
I prefer to go to the self service checkout, there is never a queue. Also you idiots don't realise that the more people who use self service the cheaper supermarkets will become as they won't need as many staff
this. i can't believe it took everyone this long to identify the issue.
have you ever worked retail? It's the single most soul crushing experience a human can have, bar none.
>Nobody cares what you so long as your nice
I'm always nice, and the checkout ladies like me because I'm not a nigger. Niggers always ruin everything.
So instead we have a little bit of bantz and everything goes off at twice the speed of a regular isle interaction with half the trouble. Everybody comes out for the better.
>scan 1kg of steak as 1kg of potatoes
Free loot HAHAHAHA
>to do the job for free
What is and isn't worthy of being a "job" is arbitrary. You could equally say you're doing someone's job by picking up the items you want off of the shelf. You're just a lazy fuck who is obsessed with being "served" by someone.
´Wait what's stopping a brown/black person from abusing the lack of employees to steal?
I scan 4 and "forget" 1 or 2, no one can see it and if they do I will just pretend it's a mistake.
High end stores don't accuse people of stealing that's bad for them.
Also stealing is a 80$ fine in switzerland, only in burgerland where jails are privatised and owned by jews you risk it for petty crimes.
This strat is risky because if you get caught it's obvious it was intentional.
>giving my hard earned money to rich investors that put this system in place to fire workers and get more money
Working at Jimmy Johns is worse. But at least most retail / fast food places don't give a shit if you are wasted 24/7.
I worked for 6 months at one in a college area that was open until 2 am. I worked Friday / Saturday night with this crippled nog who had a fat girl friend who was into getting gangbanged. I was invited a few times to plow her.
I took shrooms, smoked a lot of pot, and drank like crazy while making subs for wasted college students. Traded a lot of subs for booze / drugs.
Oh the lives we live.
>giving my hard earned money to rich
It's a sad day when Switzerland falls for communism
>Land of the Free
Can't go into a shop if you've had a beer.
Wew lad
>Sir just to let you know we're now charging 4 cents for bags
>WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN IM PAYING FOR BAGS THIS IS COMPLETE HORSESHIT IM TAKING MY SERVICE ELSE.
Subhumans.
if you know how to use a computer or phone then you can use one of them easily. I do my weekly shop on a self checkout and I'm done in like 5 mins, I can scan, pack and pay faster than traditional checkouts and I don't have to wait in a queue or talk to anyone so that appeals to my NEET anti-social introvert tendencies
haha that'd be me
Same. I get organic vegetables then ring it up as regular.
>scan 1kg of steak as 1kg of potatoes
Nig tier behaviour. I guarantee you'll be caught one day. The sainsburys where I work has a camera above every self-service checkout looking out for chavs like you.
and me
There only in big box stores like walmart and Mcdonalds here in small wooded town canada.
Because of niggers "forgetting" things.
I don't hate rich people, but I wouldn't steal from a family store.
The share owners decided it was worth it to fire a few employees and accept the loss from stealing, I'm just playing the game.
