Not only do I not work here, I wish to spend as little time here as possible.

So I’ll hand the scanning and bagging task to someone who has been doing it every day for years and can get that done quickly, in the lane where they provide enough table space to actually work, two people to do the two jobs of scanning and bagging… and all that without the extra steps of weighing every individual item, stopping for assistance if you look at it funny, and stopping to upsell you on the fucking loyalty program.

Grocery pickup > normal checkout > self checkout.

They aren't nearly as motivated to go as fast as I am, and they can only bag one person at a time and have lines, while usually there are 4-6 machines wide open for me to jump onto immediately.

I fucking hate going to the grocery store though.

EDIT: also lonely old people will stop and chit chat sometimes slowing shit even more.

It really depends. I do it in one shop because its more convinient. I have to put the stuff only one time in my hands.

  1. get the scanner on entry of the shop.
  2. scan item at shelf and put it in your bags
  3. repeat 2
  4. scan exit
  5. pay
  6. put bags from shopping cart into car.

I like the scan and go in the Sam’s club app. Scan the items with your phone, and if the QR code receipt is visible when you walk through the gate thing they usually wave you on without a person checking.

ah yes lets make things harder on service workers just because they exist. Make some random stocker that's already been repeatedly threatened to be fired for not meeting targets stop what they're doing and come ring you up and scan all your shit. If they're lucky the boss will let them stay over and work off the clock to get their stuff done. As someone who has 2 degrees and is underemployed because our society is corrupt and broken: fuck this type of behavior. Fuck people who bully service workers. I suppose next there will be a meme about bullying fast food workers for being worthless members of society. ha. ha. where funny.
