I think that's just called stealing

I like self check because it's less interaction with people, mostly. Also, you can rip 30 packs of PBR near the handle and just scan the can instead on the box.

A 30-pack for a six-pack price is a good deal.

But yes, they are shifting labor to customers.

I hate how everyone with a billion items in a cart goes through the smaller, 1-3 items checkouts that have no belts, while people with 1-3 items are all at the belted lanes. Why are y'all so bass ackwards?

What kills me is when I'm behind an old person attempting to use a check like it's 1989. I haven't been to a grocery store that accepts checks in the past decade, I just don't understand why they think it will suddenly change back to how it was, and they always act angry and confused when stores don't accept their checks even though like I said I haven't seen a store that accepts checks in the past decade

I personally really like self checkout. Even with a full cart im in and out significantly faster than most everyone else. I dont get how people get tripped up at them but my god Is it so many. I would like to have the option to remove something I accidentally scanned without needing someone though. We finally got passed the bag scale issues this is the next hurdle!

As a side note I only do self check with a full cart because im a late night shopper I would never in a million years do it during busy hours.

If there is a cashier available, then I refuse to use self checkout.

These things seem to be meant for people buying a few items, not for 250 items a family of 4 would have In a cart.

This is the most true thing anyone has ever said.

The problem is that, at least over here, every supermarket chain seems to have vastly different machines.

You use money? I have cash on me very rarely.

[–] hakobo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Money is not strictly a physical item, it's a verifiable record of tradable value. Cash is a physical representation of money usually in bills and coins, but the number in your bank account or credit card or PayPal or whatever is also money.

Money vs Cash
