      I see the costs of shrinkage has overtaken the cost of hiring a few more checkout people

    2. They should get rid of those self checkouts anyway. Hire more people. People need the money more than the corporations.

    3. Maybe hire more people at the frickin checkout so they can avoid all the “fraud” that people are committing

    4. How are people dishonest with the self checkouts. The alarms would go off if you don’t pay for something regardless of which checkout method you use

      Further clarification: my local supermarket where I used to live in Bristol had *only* self checkouts, with a couple of staff walking around to help customers where needed. The cigarettes and stuff were the only things behind a staffed counter

    5. The more self checkouts that close, the better. It was just a way for corporations to not pay for cashiers.

    6. I love it! Dumb people always fall for this bait. We know all the lines too “they take jobs!” Lololol

    7. I don’t know what they expected when making it the customer’s job to check themselves out, granted as an introvert I prefer it but still rather see actual people employed.

      I prefer human cashiers. They’re usually disgruntled and intentionally skip items randomly. It’s not even stealing if I don’t pay attention to them doing it.

      I’ve noticed that my local supermarket has tripled the cost of by-weight onions compared to the pre-weighed bags.

      Used to be the go-to item to select when weighing my expensive fruits and Veg.

      The nice thing about self check out is you can buy condoms with anything and not have to make eye contact. There are many dozens of items you wouldn’t think would get you weird looks when sat next to condoms. 

      And buying JUST condoms at Walmart is a power move 

    11. I like the option of self checkout. Sometimes I don’t want to deal with people and it’s easier. Other times I’m lazy and don’t feel like bagging all my shit.

    12. If someone is ‘forced’ to use self-checkout that means they don’t have the option for humans. Which means it can be really, really bad for that person if they get banned from the store. Imagine playing chicken with your groceries with a corpo. They can eat losses a lot longer than a person can.
