Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for September 09, 2017

That’s what they invented check-out clerks for.

When they give me a discount for being my own check-out employee I’ll use self-check-out lanes.

To err is human but it takes a checkout machine to really foul up.

I tried that self checkout ONCE! I lost a lot of time redoing over and over. I will never do that again.

Wuss.

How come the voice sounds like some 15 year old Valley Girl? Are they trying to get the kids in the habit of self check out?

@JShort: The voice I’ve heard sounds more like a mean librarian.

Whenever I try to self checkout, I always need help from a clerk who is busy helping 3 other people with their problems!!

He got broken when he tried shopping, but when his wife goes shopping he’s just broke.

The machines at one grocery store still have the English accent they had 25 years ago.

It serves him right for using the wretched thing!

Whatever ‘the machine’ wants, I have to fumble for and poke that info in, only to have it ask more questions about my choices, sale points, ‘gifts’ and on and on.. Of course, the scales weigh 13 oz as a pound, so ….

I use human checkouts. Jobs are more important than any perceived “convenience” of the self checking aisle.

nothing in particular against cashiers, but i’d rather do it myself – saves time and is much more efficient…

I tried then 2 times at a Walmart and both times it messed up,then I had to go to the courtesy desk and get things straightened out. A big waste of time make the people standing at the checkout counters do it and earn their money!

I like to talk to the checker when i check out.

I use the self-checkout every chance I get, and have never once had a problem. And it’s usually way faster than waiting in line. Probably because a lot of people hate them. Sooo… keep it up, everyone! I’ll take the fast way home.
