Gomez Chamberlain posted:Lol I live right next to this Target, I was not at all surprised they were closing it when 6 months before they whittled the staff down to 10. They blamed theft and homelessness lmfao get fuct Target. The Bartell's (now owned by Rite-Aid) said the same thing but their problem was the same: they slashed staff. They slashed their staff because of all the shoplifting, they weren't making any income. It's definitely because of the shoplifting, and not because their prices are high and people shop elsewhere.

most people i hear hating on self checkouts haven't used them in the last 3-4 years or more, which basically makes sense to me 3-4 years ago they sucked enormous amounts of rear end. the entire reason they had checkout clerks in the first place was because those laser scanners are temperamental and touchy enough that you legitimately need someone who is trained in their stupid quirks to get people in and out efficiently. at some point though someone realized that those barcodes aren't that much different from the QR codes that optical sensors on phones can read from 50 feet away so maybe take some lessons from that technology??? once that became a thing you barely even need to flash the product before the scanner has perceived it and notated it correctly.

Do people not remember checking out before self-checkouts? Like the time I spend in a grocery store now is insanely short in comparison. It's insanely better. Like I have core memories of waiting in line at the grocery store with my mom. Also the fact that it's an extremely chud-forward complaint that pollutes any social media feed you share with them doesn't help. Just another "gently caress the poor" propaganda seed manufactured by the right wing so chuds have another reason to yell at minimum wage workers who don't have poo poo-all to do with anything.

Self-checkouts are fine if you have a handful of things, sure. As a replacement for someone scanning/someone bagging? Not a chance. I only use them if I'm shoving poo poo in my sling, outside that, absolutely not, only a crazy person lets a computer tell them what to do loudly for 5 minutes while you slowly scan and bag your gear. I want to point out that the Target we started derailing about had ONLY self-checkouts, like 5 total people on a shift, and you definitely needed the thing to print a validation barcode to exit parking if you had to drive there. You had to get an associate to unlock the toothpaste, it was a place of terrible times toward the end. Anyway TUMPR

I hate the self checkouts that don't let you mute it. And those real fuckin snarky ones that when you push to mute it, it DOUBLES the volume, so it can shout APPLES!!! RED DELICIOUS!!!! and everyone can know my fuckin business. I've been using self-checkouts since 2003, but back then it was better because the store still employed like 2-5 cashiers at a time, so there never was a line at the self-checkout. Now there are lines

When Tesco tried to enter the US market they decided their US stores ("Fresh & Easy") should be self-checkout only. It was pretty good in general, but then California passed that law that said you couldn't use self checkouts for alcohol, and since they sold alcohol, they now had to have someone haunting the self checkout at all times. Shortly after they closed, so I assume those events are related. It's a shame they closed, they sold Ribena and Robinsons.

the uniqlo self checkouts here own bones - it's just a bucket you toss all your stuff into at once and cuz everything is rfid tagged in like 2 seconds the screen says "ok you want some socks and a pair of pants" so you tap your phone on the thing and leave. then you come back 6 months later cuz your cheap rear end socks have a million holes in them and you need some more

E: having the choice of self or serf checkout is ok, I am down with that, the 2 supers near me, one is a kinda small (but a large premises with a lot of goods) middle eastern place, all served checkouts, the other is a Waitrose, and as thats "owned" by the staff, you have the choice of self or served checkout, & pretty much all the staff are kind and friendl at both places. staberind fucked around with this message at 09:54 on Jan 11, 2024 |

Technological improvement, accessibility, and ease of use is a good thing actually and basically impossible to stop once it starts. The real problem is the fundamental idea that everyone -has- to work for basic survival when we've been in a position as a society this hasn't been true in a long time. But that might offend how some people think the world should work rather than how it can be better for everyone.

I love it when i'm using the self checkout and my toddler accidentally leans on the bagging area and the alarm goes off so the poor sod who has been pulled off the manned checkout to oh, i dunno, rearrange the fruit and veg or whatever has to suddenly run over to me with their magic employee card to reset it
