We had that type of self-scanner some ten years ago… All our supermarkets now have individual hand-scanners… We scan the item and drop it straight into shopping bags… No queuing… From last item taken from the shelf… paying… and leaving the store… less than 90 seconds…
A couple of grocery stores around here had those self-checkout sections. They both removed them; they had problems with theft. After COVID-19 appeared, they both put the self-checkouts back in to minimize contact. Ain’t that sumpthin’.
I am the guy in the commercial that makes fun of people who are becoming their parents. I don’t get the logic behind insulting people to make them buy your product.
I use the self-scan when I “raid” (get only one or two items). Otherwise, I strike up a conversation with the checkout clerk. I’ve gotten to know most of them. It makes the process a little bit better and it’s probably more fun for them, too.

She thought cutting out the bartender the drinks would be cheaper.

I don’t see a sign saying SELF-HELP YOUR SELF behind the bar.

So THAT’S what all those “Help Wanted” signs in the windows mean.

She crossed the line when she went behind the bar counter.

I do those things and I don’t get paid for doing any of them! The country now clearly embraces slave labour.

They left out “self-love” toys.

Self-checkout: Walmart the other day had zero regular checkouts. Maybe the Waltons need a new yacht.

If the buffet had beans and cabbage, that would be self-service gas.

His only problem is that he still expects a tip.

I refuse to use the self-checkout registers.
If a store wants me to work there, they need to pay me.
The very least they should do is offer a discount.

Yeah, why not! It’s self-help everywhere else.
