I actually like using self checkout. It's great for quick purchases, but not so much when you're buying lots of groceries. One thing I usually buy quickly is beer - but here in California, there is a State law against using the self checkout lane for alcohol purchases. This is ostensibly to avoid alcohol theft, but I have a sneaky conspiracy theory it's to make these self checkouts even less used, all to appease the unions and keep labor up.
- fosco 10y agoMy theory was along the lines of alcohol being prohibited because under age customers would buy there and get through without being ID'ed
- chuymax 10y agoIf you scan alcohol in a self checkout lane, you get a message to wait for a store assistant to validate your ID before you can continue. If the customer doesn't ring the alcohol... that's a different story.
