At Costco it's great minus the membership checks. Thanks this was a quick process, now let me stop and take my card out so you can see I'm not stealing deals.

Walmart, fuck you hire more cashier's why am I waiting 10 minutes to checkout at self checkout when you have 50 closed fucking lanes!

I straight up said this the last time I was there to one of the managers watching the self checkout after I heard them complaining about the long ass line. Maybe if you actually turned the other 20 lanes on instead of only having 3 the lines would go by quicker, ya dumbasses.

You expect them to pull 20 extra people put of their ass?

If they offered a living wage it wouldn't be a problem. They can afford it, without raising prices.

[–] themurphy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

No no no no no, HOW could they afford that?

Tell me how they could afford it as a giant multi billion dollar company.

It's not even possible to pull out billions to shareholders and CEO's each year if they did that.

Why don't anyone ever think about the poor ultra rich?

Whether they have them all open or just 3, they still only have 2 or 3 employees watching over it all. For some reason, they're all open in the morning when there aren't any customers, but then in the late afternoon, they turn everything off when the store is flooded with customers. It's ass backwards.

Probably some power-mad manager saying "employees must get up early to learn discipline".

Neverminding that we have to scan the cards to even begin scanning the (soon to be our) stuff.

My Costco has had “self checkout” for about a year now. There’s a Costco employee that waves you over and scans all your items. I really don’t get it.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Costco self checkouts can only do a certain amount of weight per square inch before they shit the bed. Which is bad, because it's costco. Unloading the entire shelf while you haven't paid can't be done, so you have to scan, hit the weight limit, pay, unload, then scan and load the shelf again...and then pay again. Idiotic design that multiplies the wait times considerably, lol.

I only use them if I'm carrying my items in my hands.
