When it comes to self checkout, I avoid it at every opportunity. In times when I cannot avoid it, I only scan maybe one or two things of my entire grocery cart and then leave with 50 to 60 bucks worth of free groceries.
If some store wants to try to screw me by forcing me to provide free labor, I’m gonna screw them right back.
And I always win. Fuck Self check out.
And it works. The three stores I most frequently shop at have all dropped self check out. I guess they got the message that fucking over their customers isn’t profitable. I wish more would get that message.
Am I missing something? I’m on board with the stealing but I don’t get how self checkout is fucking over customers
If you go to a store, and they force you to provide free labor before you can leave with the stuff you wanna buy, that’s what I would classify as “fucking over the customer”
But maybe you enjoy providing free labor?
It’s literally faster and more convenient??
You also have to walk around in a store and can’t wait at a bar in the front while an underpaid intern is forced to fetch the items on your shopping list.
Why would you want a service human just to scan your groceries?
Still not gonna stop the smack heads running out with arm fulls of meat or the little radgies pocketing everything they can. But sure spend more money on useless shit, I hope they go out of business.
As a general rule I avoid any and all self checkout lanes. You want me to come into your building, find what I’m looking for, cart it around, check myself out, bring it to the car, and in some cases being the cart back inside.
Should I be unloading the delivery trucks and putting it on the shelves for you too? How many fewer employees can you go for?
But this is literally how supermarkets provided cheaper prices than the local shops we all used to have. Customers swallow the external costs of last-mile transportation by driving to the business’s warehouse. They swallow the costs of service staff by serving themselves. You’re just describing their whole business model which, let’s not forget, we as a nation gleefully latched onto when it became available, forcing local grocers to close.
So I cant put my own backpack in the cart? I have to use a cart, no baskets allowed?
Like the self-checkout registers with built in scales, this only inconveniences everyone while barely stopping any theft…
