I always go to the cashier.
I hate self checkout.
The payment flow is always way too confusing, I hate scanning and bagging…
Please keep the cashiers.
same. The local self checkouts are a sensory nightmare for me. There's blinking lights I can't avoid, a camera+screen I can't ignore... I just can't deal with it.
local home depot only has self checkout. I don't go there any more.
Maybe that’s it for me…
I already hate how bright those stores are with their artificial lights.
Plus the other shoppers are super chaotic in those lanes, and they have ill defined spaces.
I guess I'm the opposite. The sensory nightmare for me involves having to interact with strangers, and self checkout offers the utopian promise of avoiding all that. But it fails only too often, as the slightest problem brings the clerk over. It's a bait and switch for my introverted ass.
That makes sense. I was raised Southern [USA], so I can fake polite conversation with the best of them. If anything, I'm too chatty if the checkout clerk gives the slightest sign of talkativeness.
But that's the thing, different people feel better in different methods, so why can't we keep both and let each one choose? Some would even use both methods in different moments Why does things be always forced into others because "it's the future"?
Self checkout with app where you can put the items in your own bag or backpack as you shop, is the fucking goat
I have never tried that and I’m not sure how much I would like that
I understand. For me it also took a couple of times to get over the shoplifting feeling 😂
