Why would anyone use self checkout? At least in Finland shops have a regular checkout too. And I try to avoid shops with any self checkouts at all anyways. If I don't need service, I'll order stuff online.

Depends on the queues sometimes. Plus you don't have to take out your headphones to engage with another human. Plus it easier to get 10kg of filet mignon and weigh it as turnips

Also because at the self-checkouts I can pack my basket in peace without holding up a line or having to hastily shove everything in there and then find somewhere outside the shop to unpack and rearrange everything. And there's almost never a queue.

At Publix the staffed lanes always have two people working there, one to ring you up and the other to put stuff in bags and put it in your cart, and then they also have to ask you if you need help taking it to your car and loading it in even if you clearly don't. It's like you're the Prince of Publix and it's why Shopping is a Pleasure™

Tiggum posted:The final takeaway of this article about absolutely insane overreactions to (most likely) accidental shoplifting is essentially "these customers should just have been more careful while doing, for free, the job the shops used to have to pay someone to do." 'externalize every cost" is at the heart of late stage capitalism. Capital despoils our world, fractures our societies and conscripts us into doing labor for free.

when i worked as a head cashier at a supermarket we were supposed to have baggers but we were also not supposed to have lines of more than 2 customers. combine that with understaffing and 90% of the time every bagger with cashier training got put on a register and the baggers without cashier training got sent outside to the parking lot to retrieve carts

AnimeIsTrash posted:The RAF got a Deutsche Bank official a while back. quote:The 7 kg bomb was hidden in a bag on a bicycle parked next to the road that the assassins knew Herrhausen would be traveling in his convoy. The bicycle had been consistently parked sans explosive in the same location along Herrhausen's route for an extended period of time before the assassination, and it was therefore ignored by Herrhausen's security. amazing that they didn't just ban bicycles the description of the physics of the bomb that killed him is almost pornographic in its detail quote:The bomb was detonated when Herrhausen's car interrupted a beam of infrared light as it passed the bicycle. The bomb targeted the most vulnerable area of Herrhausen's car – the door where he was sitting – and required split-second timing to overcome the car's special armour plating. The bomb utilized a Misznay–Schardin mechanism. A copper plate, placed between the explosive and the target, was deformed and projected by the force of the explosion. The detonation resulted in a mass of copper being projected toward the car at a speed of nearly two kilometers per second, efficiently penetrating the armoured Mercedes. Herrhausen's legs were severed and he bled to death. quote:Members of the Red Army Faction claimed that Vladimir Putin was their handler in Dresden.

I'm in New Jersey and none of the supermarkets here have baggers at the normal checkout lanes. Which is why I avoid them, generally the people in those lines stand there while their stuff goes down the conveyor then slowly and awkwardly bags after the transaction is over. The clerk may or may not help, and I can't blame them either way.

When I lived in upstate New York Wegmans was like that too, so I guess it's probably just a feature of the "good" (as in, the ones that seem to brand themselves as that) grocery store chains.

The Nastier Nate posted:so the lesson is if your gonna steal things at the self checkout by not paying for them, make sure that 1) dont get to greedy 2) don't take anything to obvious small things that you can palm in your hand as you scan something physically larger in the same hand works, I saw that in a movie once. Milo and POTUS posted:You used to be able to go in late and have no trouble but I haven't seen a 24 hour walmart in forever. Even some of the one's in the atlanta metro close at some point In the mid-aughts I used to shop at ours after midnight every week. The only problems I ever had was navigating around pallets being unloaded, and that one time I saw a dude running away from the entrance with what was obviously a rifle or shotgun in his pants leg. But it was business as usual inside, so not really a problem. jetz0r posted:lmao, don't stop for the receipt checker at walmart. just be like "no thanks" and keep going. A couple managed to walk out with several TVs using this method no less than three times at a local Walmart. For some reason they were shocked that some dude manning the Garden Center doors didn't physically stop them as they just pushed right out. I'd like to believe they're still doing this every week.

ive only experienced this inside gas stations but sometimes the offsite security monitor will 'check in' over the store intercom. the cashiers say everything is ok without looking up and the disembodied voice says thank you monitoring will continue. makes me feel safe and secure af. i just wish bandwidth was cheap enough that 4 people on the indian subcontinent were watching over me instead of 1 redditor.

Lmao I've never had that happen and as an edgy teen I used to spend a heck of a lot of time loitering at gas stations. Sounds like something some petty small business lord had installed at the franchised locations he owned or something just to spite employees who had the fuckin' gall to eat the hot dogs that were about to expire instead of throwing them away.

Though thinking about it, at the circle-K my friend worked at in highschool he'd be like "no you can't just take all the free sodas and hot dogs and nachos you want here in the store" and then walk me over about 10 feet and go "but over here, where the camera the owner installed can't see, sodas and hot dogs and nachos frequently wind up getting written off as damaged / lost stock and there's absolutely nothing I care to do about that, drat shame really" God that was a good fuckin' summer.

The adult store I worked at in Nashville in 2007 had cameras being watched by some creep in Ohio. The tech definitely existed then, and I would occasionally get calls about poo poo that was out of place or why was I sitting around on my rear end or whatever. Then again, in a business where the average markup was 1000%, I guess they could afford to watch me stock dildos from Ohio.

Well, it was fun lol and it was fun putting my observation skills to the test quote:I’ve apprehended people for $20 before. Usually I try to focus on higher dollar amounts, but if it’s a slow day or if I think it will be quick, I’ll make a stop for $20.

anecdotally I agree that it was a lot easier to steal at self checkout after midnight but all the 24 hour stores around me have closed in the past 5 years with covid taking out the last two. now the latest any grocery/department store is open is 11
