A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
It has made service worse. There are hardly any cashiers on lanes anymore. Also self checkout used to have an item cap until they buffed it to infinite items. Now when I have a few quick items to buy the checkout enshittification has shoved people with full carts in the self checkout I now have to wait for.
When I can buy beer at self checkout I will never use a standard checkout lane again.
So then go to normal cashier checkout. They haven't been abolished at my grocery stores
I do not like them at all, especially when I have a lot of produce to weigh.
I just hate them because stores have replaced half a dozen checklanes with an employed human being each (sometimes two if they had baggers) with one minimum wage paid person watching over 20 machines. It's so blatantly disgusting to me, personally.
Especially at Tesco with Scan&Shop. I don't even need to scan the items at checkout, just scan them as I shop.
Cashier is one of the worst job you can. If machines can replace us for hard work, it's for the best.
In my local supermarket i can scan the stuff on my phone and then pay from my phone. I usually use the checkout, but when i just need 2 items and theres a lot of people in line.. i mean here the advabtage is absolutely no line at all.
Whats the benefit of the self checkout?
My introversion and social anxiety is so estreme, that self checkouts make me imagine what I would do if I mess up something, or take too long to finish, or imagine people observing me and the way I interact with the machine.
Damn, I got a bit of anxiety just by writing this. The feeling is similar to using a computer while there are people constantly looking at my screen.
It's annoying how a lot of stores ask you to join their club and get their credit card (as If I don't have enough already), before letting you into self-checkout.
agree so much :D
I absolutely hate these. My local Aldi started doing this and the lines are longer than ever as a result. People who get paid to check out your groceries move faster than the customers themselves.
Wegmans just discontinued their app that let you scan your shit from your phone. I'm so pissed off that it got abused and they cancelled it.
We could have such nice things if people could just be cool.
