I prefer self checkout but I do feel you should be getting a discount for using it.
You can give yourself a discount, if you know what I mean
If I try scanning something 5 times and it doesn't register, I'm moving onto the next item. It's a discount for not teaching me how to use the machine properly.
Me ringing up my PS5: I think this is the right button
Scanner: Weigh your ONIONS... place your ONIONS in the bag
Now just gotta find a store that keeps consoles unattended on the shelves...
Weird how often my thumb lands atop the barcode...
They should also give me a discount for my travel to the store and taking the items off the shelf.
I feel like that's a bit different.
Grocery stores used to get your items off the shelf for you but now we do that. I think we're just used to a cashier scanning the items, so it will obviously take time for people to adjust.
At least the latter is a similar sort of change. Cashier/storekeep work is now something the customer does.
I dunno about this one, like what kind of a discount would apply here? How big?
I think in a vacuum a self checkout saves a buck or two per purchase for the store. But that is in a vacuum, you still have a cashier assisting the checkout, maintenance for scanners, probably security watching the scanners etc. I don’t doubt it saves cash, but like probably cents per purchase.
