As a general rule I avoid any and all self checkout lanes. You want me to come into your building, find what I'm looking for, cart it around, check myself out, bring it to the car, and in some cases being the cart back inside.

Should I be unloading the delivery trucks and putting it on the shelves for you too? How many fewer employees can you go for?

When it comes to self checkout, I avoid it at every opportunity. In times when I cannot avoid it, I only scan maybe one or two things of my entire grocery cart and then leave with 50 to 60 bucks worth of free groceries.

If some store wants to try to screw me by forcing me to provide free labor, I’m gonna screw them right back.

And I always win. Fuck Self check out.

And it works. The three stores I most frequently shop at have all dropped self check out. I guess they got the message that fucking over their customers isn’t profitable. I wish more would get that message.

Like most of these “anti-theft” pieces of shit, it only negatively impacts and inconveniences those who don’t steal (or don’t intend to steal). Everyone else is just going to find a way to steal.

So I cant put my own backpack in the cart? I have to use a cart, no baskets allowed?

Like the self-checkout registers with built in scales, this only inconveniences everyone while barely stopping any theft..

Still not gonna stop the smack heads running out with arm fulls of meat or the little radgies pocketing everything they can. But sure spend more money on useless shit, I hope they go out of business.

It's amazing what they'll do to avoid paying actual cashiers
