Reading the comments, do people not like self checkout? Is it another one of these American things, that baffle the rest of the world? Like grocery baggers. I'm European, living in Poland and Denmark and if given the choice, I will always pick the store with self checkout. It's simply faster. Only old people don't use self check out, not because of boomer ideology, but because they need the cashier's help.

I actually prefer self checkout. Idk. I get it though.

This says much about respect and social competence in this society when the first instinct is to mock and abuse someone with different priorities than yours.

When they are that rude and stupid they have it coming

I mean, both are right. Clients shouldn't have to do the cashier job.

But clients should stop going there to send a message instead of harassing the minimum salary employee.

How is saying I" don't work here" in response to the employee approaching them to direct them to the self-checkout - how is that harassing them?

I'd rather check myself out than deal with other idiots. It's a win for my sanity.

I don’t understand the hate for self checkout it’s faster and easier

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

It depends on the store. There are places where the self checkout lanes are dysfunctional and end up requiring waiting for a checkout worker (who are usually understaffed) to come and scan a code to fix it.

I personally prefer to use the self-checkout lane because I want my groceries bagged in a specific way (raw meat in one bag, cans/bottles in another, etc.). It's infuriating when I line up my groceries in order on the conveyor and the bagger just stuffs them in the bags randomly anyway.

Screw Walmart. During the storms here in NC, I went there to buy some relief supplies, and it was awesome to see the whole store getting picked apart by people buying supplies to donate. What was definitely not awesome was the only 3 checkout lanes open out of the total 12, because Walmart has a 3 per employee rule and they don't want to assign enough workers for the checkout lanes, even during times of crisis like this.

I live here in Toronto.

When I go to a store, I pay with cash.

I pay with Canadian money, because I'm a Canadian who buys from stores in Canada.

That was easy to do in Ontario Wal-Mart stores.

But then they put up self-check-outs that only accepted credit and debit cards—maybe because they're in cahoots with the banks and the NSA/wp:CSEC.

Then I had to use a cashier.

So I went to Wal-Mart fewer times as I didn't like to wait (as well as the increased prices during and after Covid-19).

Now they have a person at the self-checkout who will scan my stuff and accept my cash.

It seems that Wal-Mart adapted—somewhat—to people like me: people who pay with cash.

Still, I do more purchases at Food Basics and Dollarama because their self-check-outs accept cash, including pockets full of loose change that I purposely carry when I go there.

I enjoy turning this one around. "Oh, you're one of those socialists who wants everybody else to do your work for you, too lazy to lift your own groceries. Nobody wants to work anymore!"

[–] vardogor@mander.xyz 15 points 2 months ago

i'm sure you use that zinger all the time

I get being mean to walmart because corporations are bad but being needlessly rude to random employees rubs me the wrong way. Most of us can't get a job anywhere better despite having a degree. We have to deal with the mental abuse of people constantly treating us like dog shit just because we exist. The job situation is so fucked right now. I should not be having to compete with people that have masters degrees and decades of experience for tech support jobs that pay $15 an hour. Fuck this broken society.

The last time I was not underemployed was 2018.

I didn't know there were places that even asked that.
