Self checkout (at least in my experience) is now just become "regular checkout" with extra steps.
Each time I scan an item it refuses to scan, so I need to wait for an associate to approach me.
This hasn't happened to me in years.
Lasers read the most fucked up UPCs now days. I can point my Lowe's phone at a filthy, half-torn UPS, in sunlight, and it reads. I'm more surprised when it doesn't work instantly.
I experienced this 15 years ago. I have not experienced this in the last 5.
Except home Depot, fuck home depot
This is user error.
Should be MAX like 5% of items give you an issue. That’s mostly just due to age approval for some items.
So if you buy 20 items each visit, you'll always get one item. 5% is a lot.
The age approval thing you either misunderstood or you just tried to put words into NarrativeBear's mouth.
I guess you don’t understand the use of the word MAX.
Essentially the only time I need assistance at self checkout is when I need age approval. Not sure how that means I’m putting words in someone’s mouth.
Because you claimed it as a fact instead of saying it was your experience.
Ah yes, “Should be” always precedes facts. How could I be so foolish.
