Why would someone stand in a long regular lane with two items when there is a perfectly good self checkout open?

I don't get those people

My husband does it because he doesn't want the self checkouts to take jobs away from cashiers.

@Poppies A cashier oversees the self checkout though
Poppies · 61-69, F
@FutureIdol Yes, but only one cashier for several self checkouts

Because 1) I like to talk to human beings and 2) if we all use the self checkouts the shop will eventually just fire all the staff. I don't think that's moral, and it would then make point 1 harder anyway

@Lhayezee I don't think all the staff will be fired

@FutureIdol Give it ten years.
That’s insane. I’m pissed because now there’s a limit to how many items you can take through self checkout. Bastards.

@LithiumDrop I've seen some self checkouts that were unlimited but usually at larger locations I've noticed

Because using self checkout incentives automation and the unemployment of the working class. Never used 1, it’s a matter of principles.

Self-checkouts take jobs away from people. And they aren't designed to be helpful, they are designed to catch you cheating.

@hunkalove who cheats at a cashier?
hunkalove · 61-69, M
@SW-User Probably no one. That's my point.

@hunkalove how do you cheat at the self checkout? If you don’t scan your stuff the beeper will go off at the exit

the billionaire owned corporations have indoctrinated you to perform tasks they used to provide. less overhead, weaker union, no employee benefit costs. ka-ching!!!
You're a little entitled...

@BeefySenpie how? I just don't see why anyone would wait in a long regular lane when a speedier option is open to them. It's one thing to be in a normal lane with an entire cart but for two items it doesn't make sense
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@FutureIdol It makes sense to those that can't use self checkout desks.
@FutureIdol For whatever reason they're clearly uncomfortable using it, so taking an extra two minutes of your time isn't their problem

They charge me the same price for doing the work of a cashiers.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
I do it everytime i go to the supermarket.

There’s always an express lane for that

Are you fuckin serious 🤣🤣🤦🏿‍♀️
FutureIdol · 31-35, M
@TurtlePink I saw it the other day
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
They don’t pay me to work there.
