You’d think so, but even then I feel pressure. People go to the self checkouts for the quick and convenient process . Then here I am holding EVERYONE UP trying to gather my bags and fumbling around with my receipt. Every time.

Did a self checkout recently at a store I'd never been to before. Went through pretty smooth, shoved receipt in my pocket, and then saw they had little security gates and a receipt scanner, so I had to fish out the crumpled paper from my pocket, fumble around trying to find the barcode thing, and of course it also had a random QR code that I tried to scan for like a minute until the security guard had to come over and help me. Luckily it wasn't that busy, but if there had been someone waiting behind me it woulda been a nightmare.

Nope. Back in my day we got service buying gas. Now I have to pay more for gas and do it myself. You are destroying a society, and to a point making somebody not being able to have a job for as long as possible. You pay extra and corporate benefits

Yeah except the exact change, coupon hounds and just generally dim folks tie those up too. And it’s a 4:1 fuck up.

I was in Home Depot and some donut was trying to buy a grill he wheeled in from the display outside through self checkout. The. Demanded to not have a floor model. Tied up the cashier for a hot minute. Meanwhile another old lady started flagging down some rando to help with a coupon that I’m fairly sure was fucking years expired. And some third poor soul had a legit problem but was in donut purgatory for a bit.

The checkout line guy was literally faster. But I wasn’t in a hurry and was just enjoying the show and letting others cut and go through the non self checkout. It was fucking mesmerizing.

Understandably, shooting someone isn't really something one should joke about

They do it this way in Japan. The solution is simple: you take everything, move to the self-bagging area (most supermarkets are self-bagging), and do your sorting and tidying there.

Just a few tables to get things in order before leaving the store.

Is that not the standard way to hand them to a customer?

Yeah, we need a third arm!

I hate it when that happens.

I counted the items, there are 10.

I've had that happen before when I used to work at Arby's.

First customer of my shift, and this monster pays for a regular roast beef sandwich entirely in pennies. It was roughly 450~ pennies. I was ready to murder.

Nah, take as much time as possible, and also always avoid the self-checkout. Don't play along with these corporations trying to eliminate jobs, give the cashiers job security by asking lots of questions and taking your sweet ass time at the register. If you have to do self-checkout because there's no open cashiers, always ask for assistance from the nearest attendant.
