They’re in criminal mode in the US depending on the store location. 2 Safeway’s about a 10 minute drive from each other have opposite policies, also the more poor the area the less likely to have self checkout at all
- m-ee 5y agoThe checkout situation alone has made it so I haven’t gone to my local Safeway in almost two years except to use the DMV registration machine. The self checkout is almost unusable, and ever since the private equity buyout years ago I’ve never seen more than two normal registers open at once.
- taurath 5y agoPrivate equity is synonymous with “customers and employees will suffer” in my mind. I get really miffed at how our system of economics seems set up to destroy rather than promote the common good.
- draw_down 5y agoI’ve walked out of more than one Safeway because the self checkout refused to let me proceed and nobody was helping. Those machines are so shitty, they’ve gotten better but I still try not to use them.
