Boycott self-checkouts! That is all.

I have used one only once, and only because no till was open at the time. I was not at all sure what to do, and had to have help with one item, but the lady was calm, professional and very helpful.

I far prefer even the modicum of personal service left - and don't want to help keep people out of work.

First things first, a computer at a market will not be programmed to express disdain.

It didn't ask the employee if he needed more time because his name is on file and his employer or other workers can find him if he's needed. A customer might be prompted to request more time because you are free to leave without notifying anyone. Hence, the machine is programmed to make sure you're still present—and didn't leave—by displaying a message.

The employee is likely undergoing a lot of new training and change of routines if this system is new. They helped you. They took time out of their day to fix something that you wouldn't or couldn't figure out on your own.

They say a person's morals can be reflected through how they treat staff at a facility. Take it to heart.

I avoid them as much as I can.

One result being when I am forced to do so, I have to ask for help because I do not know how to use the blasted things.

I'd far rather a real till staffed by a real person, and I don't want to help such people being made redundant or just not engaged at all.

OK for a few goods they are useful. But not for a weekly shop. I prefer to have that delivered.

But why all this hurry? People must have very busy lives. Most of the people near me are on benefits.

I avoid self check outs, those type jobs can be used as stepping stones , work experience, I prefer human contact, a smile...

im of the firm belief you should get a staff discount if your doing the scanning and packing...

I order online and have it brought to my vehicle. That keeps me from buying things I don't specifically want. Plus it saves me time and aggravation.

I try to avoid them for as long as I can. Soon all cashiers will be substituted by machines. I prefer to have a friendly chat with a cashier and want them to keep their jobs.

I rarely go inside anymore, I order online and set a pickup time and they bring it right out to my car, costs a little more but worth it

I prefer them. I got the hang of it, I like to bag my own stuff, it's better for me.

It's the only one I use... quick and convenient

Hehe

I don't mind them.. i always wanted to play cashier 😅

I prefer it ...I like to get it done and over with

I won't use them if I have a choice... at least not if I have more than 5 items ...

They usually have a code or something they scan that overrides the "help system" that non-employees get.

Still prefer them to cashier checkouts
