Hey, but self-checkouts are good. Dunno how they use them at target, but at shops I go to they allow me to get to the shop, grab what I need and leave within 5 minutes.
And not so sure with cheaper. Again from my experience, shops have a setup of 6 self-checkouts per 1 employee.
They're only good if they pass the savings of not having to pay a person to ring up your groceries onto you, which as far as I can tell they definitely fucking don't. Groceries are considerably more expensive than they were a couple years ago and grocery corporation profits are sky high, so it's not just the cost of everything going up.
I'm with Bill Burr on this one. Count to five Mississippi "Eh I guess they don't wanna get paid" and start walking out. What are you gonna do, cut my hours? I don't work here!
I'm with the other person on this one. Self checkouts have really reduced the queues where I live. They're much more compact than the cash registers and the shop near me basically doubled its cash register capacity because of them. I rarely have to wait in a queue these days.
Tesco even has a scan as you shop service which is really convenient. You get a barcode scanner before you start shopping, then scan all products you want to buy and place them directly in your bags. At the checkout, you scan a barcode attached to the checkout machine, it prompts you to pay, you pay and leave. All your things are already bagged.
