I don't a have problem with self checkout. I do have a problem with being encouraged to use self checkout when I have a giant cart with $600 of poo poo in it. How does the logistics of that work? There's physically not enough space to put even a fraction of my poo poo. I need a belt as a buffer.

Remember when self-checkout used to say 5 or 10 items or less? Yeah, they don't now. They want everyone to do it so they can fire the lazy no-good cashiers. Last time I went to Walmart they had a self checkout section larger than my entire house (including the basement square footage).

I don't want to self check out, but do it often because theres no real checkout options at most stores. My local Lowes has one lane sometimes open, usually no lanes. Home depot same nearly. Grocery store has two. Costco has like 3-8 real lanes and they're long and I don't have too many items usually so it's in my best interest to go to self check and I hate it still. I hate it at Costco for the same reason I usually hate it at Lowes, my items are big and I resent having to handle them more than I need. If cat litter is on sale I'll buy all three I'm allowed. That's 126lbs of cat litter. So I'm waiting for the gun haver to scan it anyway. Just employ cashiers ffs. It makes me want to do petty theft.

Also to add, most people aren't like me and aren't trying to do the self check as efficient as possible. I'm like the guy they say to hire because he's so lazy hell maximize how to do it the fastest so he can lay about. Last time I was at home depot some lady bought one item and it took her so loving long to checkout I was impressed. I used the same register, bought four packs of screws, and was walking behind her out the door. You catch the wrong timing and end up behind four scatterbrained idiots like her and the line backs up into the aisles.

Flip item around 15 times to get the dirty glass barcode lasers to scan my tuna packet. It scans. Place in bag. *place in bag* Unexpected item. Remove item. *remove, wait for it to register that you removed it, replace item* Unexpected item. Remove item. *repeat* Employee notified. Blinking light starts. Wait a few minutes for someone to get to you because they are scanning their card to bypass some other bullshit going on with someone else.  yeah yeah yeah

When it's really busy they have employees doing the scanning at self checkout in my Costco, which is annoying cause I'm faster than they are. I always do self check out cause I don't have to take anything outta the cart; faster and don't have to deal with the stupid scale. Scan scan scan tap my credit card and I'm gone. And at Walmart, if your Walmart has 2 different kinds of self checkouts go to the bigger one. It has no scale to make it annoying. Just be aware it does record everything so if you pass something over the scanner without scanning it will call someone over and they review the video. I passed something over the scanner one time for non nefarious reasons and it called em over. I can't remember, I think I was holding something in my hand while scanning something else. Otherwise I agree that self checkout is stupid if there's a scale which always sucks rear end and whines about unexpected crap

Well that's great that they'd rather take the chance of someone stealing and hire a ton of security and spend millions(?) on security systems just to be able to charge me with theft for an accident................................................................................. ............................. rather than pay a person a decent wage to take care of that part for me.

At least my Walmart's don't even seem to check the weight or give a gently caress what you put in the bag, or if you just put the bags in your cart as you go. It's pretty nice. I prefer self checkout though, minimal awkward interaction where the cashier and myself both pretend to care about each other... Just need the attendant for the alcohol I'm probably buying, nice and quick.

I think they’ll end up rolling back at least some of this friction. It’s dumb to force the cardholder to pay. People who want to circumvent the system will obviously do it — the cardholder pays Costco and then the abuser pays the cardholder. If they genuinely wanted to enforce this policy they should do it at point of entry. Otherwise they’re just sending mixed signals about what they want to discourage.

I never use self checkout. I arrange my cart with everything code up as I shop. Once I'm up to checkout the transaction takes about a minute.

I went to Costco today and my wife stole somebody's card. I want to say it was the funniest thing ever to look at them looking back and forth at where they left their card wondering where the hell it had gone as she was trying to run away because I suggested to take the cart. Has anyone else had their card stolen or stolen somebody's cart inadvertently thinking that the cart was unused. I mean it was loving hilarious but I want to say I was only minorly involved in the suggestion to take the card. So you can't all blame me for this action.

I don't see why it would be different in the US but Mexican church membership fee entitles you to 2 cards whenever you renew membership and up to 3 additional cards at around 14 bux each

My Costco moved the diapers and formula from way in the back to all the way up front, and I felt like such a chump making that huge loop around the warehouse. Gyro kit is better than I thought would be.

I warned y'all about them checking cards like a week ago.  CaptainSarcastic posted:Oh, and today they were checking people's CostCo cards to make sure it was actually the person who had the card. The employee said that during the pandemic they got lax about that, and are now cracking down on card sharing.
