Self-check out makes it easier to steal from the mega corporation. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
They're the most surveilled places in the store and now stores are looking into face recognition tech to effectively ban thieves from stores
They might not care about small stuff, but repeatedly doing it will definitely put you on their radar
honestly no, you'd hypothetically probably be better off putting something in your bag than risk being one of those times the machine asks a worker over to scan shit
Lol, the cashier dgaf. They come over, input the code to canal the alert and go back to their chat, 90% of the time without even looking. The times they do look, they tell you what's wrong and you fix it.
It's not stealing, it's getting paid to do the cashiers job. Honestly I underpay myself every day i go to work at the self checkout.
Why waste time in a queue? It's quicker to self checkout and get back to my own thing.
Self checkout hate is plain stupid, it's for the customers who wanna get in an out quick.
They are running lean enough many places that you actually wait in line to check yourself out. I have no problem checking myself out. Waiting in line to use a machine because they don't have enough of them on the other hand... Literally some places run like one minder for 12 machines but they will have another 12 machines disabled because they don't want to come off another minder.
No, you are wrong. Places like Walmart will only have self checkout open, forcing you to ring up your own cart of items while their employees stare blankly at you ... either that or you just make eye contact with them and walk away from the cart and leave the store (usually what I do).
I don't work for them.
The cashier at the self checkout is to
A) Do things that require intervention like verify your ID to sell alcohol
B) Help people having trouble
C) Keep people from literally paying for a banana and taking home TVs
They aren't there to check you out. If you spend usually spend 15 minutes driving to the store, 15 minutes gathering a cart, and then walk away and spend 15 minutes driving home empty handed I believe the joke is on you. The employees get paid at this point $20 an hour to put away your shit while you wasted your own time and gas.
That's wasted effort for both the seller and buyer. Hope it's fixed.
Why do you think that is wasted effort? You can have one person monitor 12 machines where 12 people are checking out
Sorry to hear that you live in flyover country. Too bad your state "voted" for this.
Voted for what? Self checkout lanes?
Corporate deregulation
Probably, those people who support this corpo BS
Turn in your commie card, tiny tyrant.

I didn't punish them. They punished themselves.
