You seem to
be implying that self check lines don’t get stuck and don’t need any intervention. In practice they could be slower than cashiers lines, at least that’s the case in my experience. I don’t mind having the option for both but having 3 cashier lines open and 10 crowded self check out lines is disrespectful for customers, there were ocasions where I abandoned my cart because it would add another half hour to my wait.
- keep_reading 3y agoThis absolutely does happen, but part of the issue is due to the design of the self checkouts. The good ones are a forked conveyor belt design so you send all your items down, pay, walk down to the end and bag your groceries while the next person starts their checkout and has their groceries sent down the other side. No congestion unless the issue is related to scanning the items or payment.
