These business with self-checkout stations

[GreenDoberman]

They just made my list, right below the non-turn signal users.

Every time I am at the store, they want me to scan and bag the items myself just because they want to cut labor costs or are too cheap to properly stuff. It never fails that I need "authorization" whether it is buying my bottle of gin or getting 10 packs of Sudafed to cook up some meth, so it defeats the purpose when an employee has to come over and punch in some code.

This started with the banks and the ATMs. We get the privilege of paying a fee for using an ATM so that the bank can save on labor costs. What if I want to go in and hit on the girl who is making nine bucks an hour as a teller while she cashes my Canadian check from a Costa Rica book. The ATM won't ask me if I want large or small bills. And I can't come back with "what do you prefer large or small?"

In summary, I'm already pissed because the guy in the car in front of me is driving 25 mph because he is on his cell phone and he doesn't use his turn signal so I have to brake sharply. Then I have to wait in front of him for the privilege of ringing up my condoms and lube while he gets Benny from the back to authorize his monthly supply of Nyquil.

Just saying.

Good to see you back tartared one.


I need authorization on self checkout aisle two.

"Sir, I'm going to need to see some ID".

You need ID for Penis Tartar?


I once got the thing stopped and had to wait five minutes for some retard to authorize a six-pack of O'Doul's. Of course I couldn't say anything because I was retarded for buying the stuff.

I don't know I like them because those lines are always shorter...too many people are afraid of Technology to use them

it sounds like it might be an ID-10-T error

You are right on. This happens all the time.
Same thing with all produce - needs a code inputed.
Eliminate the use of checks as well; cash or debit cards only!
Tired of standing behind woman with full cart who waits for it all to be run thru register before she finally digs thru "suitcase" to locate purse at bottom, then rummages thru purse to find checkbook, then has to ask cashier how much her groceries are. Put these folks in their own special lane for the slow and out of it.
Make sure at least half of the checkout lanes available are 15 items or less as well!

I like them. Do I really want to stand around while some woman pulls out her check book and shows the cashier the cute little kittens on her checks? No. Then she looks around and asks what day it is? Its called a debit card, bitch. Meanwhile my Ben&Jerrys is melting all over the place.

Plus the self checkout has some advantages the cashiers don't offer.

I pretty much agree with all of the above post

I use the self checkout at my local grocery about 80% of the time unless there's a lane open with a checker I want to scope.

Perfectly stated sir

I see a lot of people each week who have taken advantage of these "offers" you speak of. Let me say they don't usually look good in orange and flip flops.:nohead:

I like to use the self-check lanes for 2 reasons:

1.) I don't want to make small-talk with a checker. When I go shopping I'm on a mission to find stuff. I don't even want to make eye contact with anyone.

2.) I don't want to stand in line like has been mentioned before in this thread.

I agree with GD.

Every self-check out lane at your grocery store is a union worker without a job.

I may have to start using them now.

Can a self-check out machine call in sick or come to work hungover?

 

[PBR]

I agree with every post in this thread.

 

[krk1030]

I like them, they are so much faster. I don't get stuck behind some lady buying a year of groceries and has the cashier scan 485 coupons before writing a check that get declined and the manager comes over.

Or go on strike?
