The fucking floor displays in aisles that create chokepoints, and then aisles that have a bunch of popular shit all together creating a traffic jam. And don't get me started on the lack of manned checkout lines anymore. Self-checkout is adequate as express lanes (i.e. limited number of items, limited produce, no alcohol) but sucks if you are buying more.
I try to go later in the evening to avoid the rush.
The most annoying thing about the self checkout is the need for you to put the entirety of your shopping on the time you weighing plate to make sure that I'm not buying my weekly shop but then sneaking a bottle of water past the system.
At least the IKEA self checkouts don't do that. They let me buy my Pœlēøïng in peace
i also bring my own shopping bags. the grocery store here (the only one, a walmart) disabled the scales because they don't have the staffing to deal with all the false positives, i guess.. but anyway, i've gotten to just taking the wireless hand scanner (which is much quicker than the register's scanner) and scanning stuff in the cart and then bagging it right away--all right in the cart. only produce gets put up by the register, since it needs to be weighed anyway.
It's really the worst. For the uninitiated, the platen where your bags go is actually a scale. The self-check-kiosk software waits for this bagging scale to quit moving (see: de-bouncing) before weighing and approving the scan and purchase of a single item. This is why, occasionally, if you're too fast or too slow, the kiosk gets angry and makes you flag down an attendant.
That's not a problem for 10 items or less, but for a whole cart? All that waiting around adds up. Because of all that, it's literally impossible to achieve the same or better speed than an employee.
They let you buy your what? I promise I tried to look it up, but I had no search results.
I have 5 dollars on it being some kind of dresser!
It's IKEA so like 90% of their product it's probably a random small table for some reason everybody seems to need.
It's a cooking method
I'm still confused. If it's a method, how is it something you buy at Ikea? Is it a food?
