I refuse to do self-checkout and cost working folks their jobs while padding corporate bottomlines - they certainly don't pass along any savings to customers

I buy most of my food at Aldi now and limit what I buy at Walmart, because Walmart started this,

@whowasthatmaskedman That’s because Aldi put bar codes on several faces of their goods to save staff having search for them 🙂

@Dlrannie Well it gets them a share of my business, having the luxury of three supermarkets in my local spolling mall, including an Aldi. Plus my wife prefers their microwave meals over name brands.😷

Target is doing that now too. A manager at Target actually forced me to use the self-checkout. He was very rude. But there were young kids around so I didn’t want to make a scene.

@Faroutcat Target did this to me, i scanned a few items then got distracted payed and left. Not my job to care if i scanned everything, im not an employee.

I was in line at a busy Wally World self check out. Dude at the register had a bar code sticker on his finger. Everything he openly swiped was 47 cents.

Our supermarkets here have the same thing. And I refuse to use them, for the same reason,😷

They should eliminate checkers. They screw up most of the time.

ours lost their business license for 7 days.for selling the store to Walmart reality without approval from the city as the law requires a new building inspection, existing tif grants are revoked
Have you seen amazon's stores that don't have any checkouts at all?
Pretzel · 61-69, M
@SooperSarah holy crap - no
@Pretzel [media=https://youtu.be/vorkmWa7He8]
I prefer self checkout. I like to minimize how much I interact with other people.

krogers is worse than walmart for service
Tesco outsmarted you on that, they released hand zappers - which regularly need "checking for accuracy"... and every time Hooty gets one, I can guarantee that they need checking.

Smaller labor costs won't make your groceries cheaper.
Pretzel · 61-69, M
@Roundandroundwego you sound like management
Roundandroundwego · 61-69
@Pretzel I'm not management, that's just the reality. Local labor is only a little of the cost of goods.

Self checkout is way faster. You don’t have to deal with the slow cashiers and then then desperately trying to sign you up to a Walmart MasterCard.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SooperSarah In canada they do.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@lispoiledbrat so go through the cashier then. I didn’t say anyone else had to use it. I just stated why I do. I also walk with a cane because of really bad arthritis so the faster I can get out of the store, the better for me.
lispoiledbrat · 26-30, F
@iamonfire696 depends on the store, some of them by me don't have cashiers at all anymore
