Good I very much hate self check-outs. Maybe if they offered discounts for use, maybe if they worked better, but the current practice of just off-loading labor on the customer I do not like.
On a side rant, is anyone else bothered as much as I am at how self-checkouts force this tediously slow pacing for doing each step. You can't just scan-scan-scan-pay. Instead its scan...."place item in bag"...pause... now you can scan the next item. Do it too quickly and it freezes up. The regular checkouts don't have this issue. Drives me absolutely crazy.
- lervag 4y agoIn Norway, self checkout is more or less scan-scan-scan-pay. It works well, in my experience, and most stores also have the traditional regular checkout. I'm curious if the shop-lifting challenge is similar in Norway. I would expect not, since it is a very trusting society, but I have never seen any real numbers on this topic.
