I have witnessed far to many people with full carts que into the self check out, and than they get frustrated when every other thing they scan throws a flag.
Bitch, SCO is for 10 items or less!
Is it really? I've never seen such a sign in my corner of the US. Often there's only one human operated checkout.
Here in NZ, the self checkout is the preferred option for any amount of shopping. It's so much quicker and you don't have to engage in pointless small talk. I just got home from doing some grocery shopping and they had about 10 self checkouts and maybe 2 or 3 human ones that nobody was using.
With a cashier, I can start packing while they scan, which is way faster
At self checkout, I pack while I scan, and then I have control over the order of scanning and packing.
It does suck that places are opting to have self checkout in exclusion to checkout lanes, but for the people that don't like self checkout just don't use it when you have the choice.
Costco is especially infuriating because they do not tolerate anything on the platform before you can start. You also cannot remove anything from the platform before you've paid and everything... So you can't pack as you go, making everything slower and more stressful for everyone. If you even attempt to, the goddamn thing locks up and the clerk has to unlock it for you.
Yes but you often have to wait to get to the cashier
A non issue. You'll often have to wait anyway.
Australia also.
At the larger chains they're pretty good now.
Its rare you need assistance and there's always someone hovering around.
I don't enter a store without coming out with beer, an item that needs to be age verified by a cashier. I always have to stand around waiting for one of them to leave the cash register and come over and clear it.
Pisses me off.
Give me my god damned beer so nobody gets hurt.
Yo, recommend me a beer! I don't like hazy stuff but everything else is on the menu.
Look, I don't know where you live, your standards, or your money situation, so it's a tricky ask. For me I drink the cheapest shit because I drink a lot of it, but I recently went to Laos, and they had a beer, like basically the only beer they have, called Beerlao, which is partly made with rice, and it's fucking FANTASTIC.
If you can find that shit on the shelves, try it out. Though tariffs just hit Laos exports with 50% so, my advice stands- buy the cheapest shit possible and drink a lot of it because what is about to unfold in the world will require you to be drunk or dead to endure it.
