minus-squareflango@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down11·8 months agoYou do the work for the company and pay them! Fuck self-checkout!!
minus-squareRivalarrival@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down2·8 months agoThe value added by a cashier is not worth the amount of time I expend waiting for them to become available. Self checkout is a win for me and for the retailer. You are free to wait for a full-service cashier if you like. I’d rather be on my way.

minus-squareaceshigh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down7·8 months agoWhat I’m annoyed by is when going to a cashier they expect you to bag your own groceries, and give me attitude when I ask them to do it. I much rather prefer self check out. I don’t need to deal with the attitude.
