Is the self-checkout at the supermarket really all that?

Sounds like somebody has some personal issues to take care of...

Some systems are better than others.

The machines are pretty smart. They have weight sensors that know when you add something if you don't ring it up.

Yup. I don't understand people who have a a full cart of items and still use it. That and people don't know how to use it.

They lose more time that way.

My local SFW has 3 self checkout lanes: 2 lanes with a full-size conveyor belt and 1 with 2 mini joints. Some people try to ring up 20 items on a mini joint.

They aren't that hard. Scan, press finish and pay, swipe CC and dip. People be standing there staring at the screen for 10mins over 5 items

there usually there for the stupid people that cant use them...but it doesn't defeat the purpose because it still is one person and 4 registers....cuts out at least 3 extra workers.

I don't feel 'em. The overseer pisses me off, always glaring me down and shh.

the self check out is only as good/fast as the people in front of you........you get some lady with kids and a cart full of things, it feels like she has been sent to slow my day up......but usually it saves me time....

I don't see any positives to self-checkout or U-Scan as my local supermarket calls it.  The scale only accommodates two bags so it is only convenient for about 15 items and the line is usually as long as the regular checkout.

love them joints. went to walmart, found a price mistake and went to self checkout. no harm no foul

My local supermarket got rid of self-checkout because of theft.

I'll be honest, I used to put my grapes in the system as bananas to save money, but I quit that ASAP as soon as they put a customer service rep at a station right in front of the self-checkout area.

I hate when people bring a ton of stuff in. They should be reserved for people with very few items. Plus, the self-checkout area with the bags only allow you to use three bags at a time, and if you remove a bag, it alerts the manager, and they come running out.
