How do u feel about self help checkouts?

I don't like them. Sometimes they work well and then other times they beep and have issues and you didn't even do anything lol. I've had two employees at a specific grocery store ask me on separate days, "do you want to use self help?" (so I would not have to wait on line) and I was like No thanks. Lol

I hate them. Ive had good experiences with them and bad experiences with them. Never had a bad experience with a cashier. They are there so the company doesnt have to hire as many employees...saving money which means higher profits. ....it also means people lose jobs. Obviously, the company is not going to simply move the person that was a cashier to another position ....that defeats the whole purpose of saving money by not hiring someone. Are there other reasons a company may want them? Sure but they still cost jobs for people (no, I am not one of them that lost a job...simply one that can see it).

We had one grocery store chain completely replace every human cashier with self checkout stations at every location they had...quite a few.....again a lot of jobs lost (no discount given for the work I now need to do nor for all the money the company saved). I stopped using that store and went somewhere else. Apparently, a lot of others did the same. The chain must have seen the drop in sales....6 months later they had put humans back in.....but using the same self checkout staions. Now you have the cashier standing next to you using the self checkout rather than being across from you at their register. Its a bit odd, but at least people are working again.

I can see a store offering a couple self checkouts for those with just a few items so they can get in/ out quickly. Just give us the option.

Thats my 5 cents.

Great for small collection of items. But I’ll take quick check any day over deep lines with full carts. Then there’s always someone wanting to spend 5 minutes arguing over a coupon. I have little patience at grocery stores. But that’s my problem lol.

I hate them. They do have the advantage of cutting down on the wait for a cashier. I won't use them at the supermarket. I am lost trying to look up the codes and whatnot for produce.

I prefer to do it myself. I can pack my bags how I like and I don't have to hear a speech.

I like them. I feel like when other people bag my groceries they take too long and dont double bag.

They're good if you have a few items, but it bugs the hell out of me that you need to be "authorized" in order to purchase alcohol, and the guy often is nowhere to be found, so you have to stay still idly near this yelling machine with a beep that makes you sound like a thief, or a kid waiting for his parents permission to buy a beer

Let me scan my beard and spare me from the embarrassment ffs

I like! Im responsible for my own destiny

I only use them when i don't have a choice
We should get 25% discount for using them otherwise they need to go away.

I like 'em. I usually get out faster that way and I don't have to interact with people as much.

and then I have to carry my bags out to the car. don't want to take the bag boy's job

i still average 2 needs for human assistance on average

You should get at least a 10% discount on your purchase for using a self-help checkout.

I make a point of waiting in line for a cashier, in order to make a statement.

I used to hate them with a purple passion, but then I started using them and I use them now more than I go to a manned checkout counter.

Mostly indifferent, but I do prefer a mann'ed checkout. Or Womann'ed it doesn't matter.

I like them when I have just a few items.

I like them.

I like them in one shop I often go to and hate pretty much everywhere else.

It depends on the type of cashier I'm dealing with

I think it's good for stealing some things you don't wanna pay for

Time savers but pains

I like my groceries packed just so

I don't mind them

usually I hate them but at least I can help myself to a free bag

Avoid. They pay people to do that.

Hate them

They're demonic

Should give a discount for using it

They take jobs away
