    Don’t feel bad, you earned it. Imagine how it’s cheaper for companies to pay god knows how much on anti-theft measures instead of paying a living wage to cashiers.

    ps. You should never use self checkout. We’ve all been tricked into thinking we can do it better/faster ourselves.

      I use self-checkout because I have a “20% off your entire cart” coupon that I don’t want to give up. When I scan it, I just put a random piece of paper into the slot so the machine registers that I put something in there. In this way, I kind of am getting paid to scan my own groceries.

      Because the companies get free labor. I refuse unless it’s legit rush for something.

        I wonder if people were pissed off that they had to go through the shop picking up products instead of having the shopkeeper do that for them.

          Maybe, but I like being able to shop for myself. I want to look over my produce and meats.

      Well, I’m a former cashier and I absolutely do it faster and better than the high school seniors they underpay at my local store. Also, I caught one kid double scanning some of my stuff once. Not sure if it was intentional or just lack of attention, but after that I definitely started using self checkout exclusively.

      Fuck off, it’s faster for me and I vastly prefer it. Quicker, less need to deal with other people and there’s no rush to bag your stuff. If you don’t want to use self-checkout then don’t.

      I go to self checkout because my closest supermarket has one cash register and the queue is always like 6 old people
