Don’t do that, say you have 0 bags and after you pay put everything in youR bag quickly.

So much easier to let a real person do it, plus it keeps them in a job and you don’t have to do unpaid labour. Win-win.
Why are you the way that you are?
Sorry for answering a rhetorical question, but self-checkout is the way it is because stupid consumers meekly agreed to do work for big corporations for no pay. They designed a bad system because they don’t respect you. They don’t respect you because you are a fool.

I like self checkout, or when you can scan the items in the store with your phone or scanned. But o-my-god please no weighting stations, there so much trouble I will avoid them at all cost

People complaining about self checkouts, why do You use them? You can just simply stand in line for 20 minutes just like in the 90s.

20 minutes? Not even the old slow checkers have 20 minute lines these days. Although a 2020’s ten minutes sure can feel like a 90’s twenty.

because it’s a transfer of labor, at an expense to all of us. where 12 aisles used to be open on a weekend, now 1 is with a 8 spot self check.
i used to do cashier work at my store. back in the 90’s of course.
it’s all just a way to make more profit.
if i scan it and it fails twice, i steal it. and play stupid if seen. i never give a receipt if asked. i know they’re just a worker, underpaid, and UFCW doesn’t care about them, so i just keep walking and never press it. but yeah. fuck the self checks, even IF you still use the main line.
7 daysEver since they added the gun holstered guards to check receipts I just took my ass to publix.
Fuck kroger

I prefer heb or Aldi. Haven’t heard of Publix.
Friendly reminder to not give your free labor to the grocery conglomerate - make them check you out, always (teehee but rly tho)

If your checkout has a handheld scanner, try using that for the tricky items. It might disregard the weight.

I love self checkouts at Uniqlo, you just throw everything into it in a bag and it scans the whole bag in a second, showing you the list if you want to check it.

I’m so happy I never had to deal with a speaking self-checkout. Only the little tüt when the barcode was scanned successfully and that’s it.

They used to let you mute them at the stores I frequent, but then they decided to take that feature away.
Thankfully it only verbalizes items that you key in, where there is no barcode. But I wish it didn’t.

Herbs are sometimes that cheap, limes on sale are often 4 for a dollar. Then there’s the bakery markdown that always gets us.

I’m a larger man I need to do better, I know.
But nothing has embarrassed me more about that than being at the self check out and having it call out. “Two…DONUTS. please put your TWO DONUTS into the bagging area.” Like, bro please. It’s a cheat day.
- 7 days
for the donuts, yes. There’s this thing where the self check out makes you key in items from the produce section that don’t have a label. So instead of just saying the price it will call out the item. Some baked goods have the same thing.
I imagine its some kind of fraud prevention. So customers don’t key in something that is cheaper by weight then what they are actually buying. The machine calls it out so the person monitoring the self-checkout knows they aren’t trying to defraud the store out of a whole 35 cents or something.

Supposedly ppl used to weigh everything instead of scanning it, because that’s going to end up being cheaper. Like covering up the barcodes so they won’t scan.

You can buy some really weird looking bananas in self checkout. My bananas look and taste just like a watermelon.

Omg I would buy so many condoms just to make the machine say it.
Please place your CONDOMS in the bagging area. Please place your PERSONAL LUBRICANT in the bagging area. Please place your CUCUMBER on the scale. Please place your BANANA on the scale. Please place your BLACK DILDO in the bagging area.
I hate when I’m sweaty and gross coming from the gym and want a donut or two for my cheat day and I have to decide whether I’m getting judged by the cashier or judged by everyone in the self checkout area when it does that.
