You scan the products. Confirm that you've scanned everything. Want a shopping bag, yes/no? Pay.
That's it. The scanners work. Payment work. Getting a receipt works.
Maybe I've just been lucky, who knows.
- nielsbot 3y agoWhy do you like it better than having a cashier ring you up? Me: I don't have to scan, check I've scanned everything, enter the number of bags, put groceries in those bags. Instead I put my stuff on the belt, I pay and walk out w the groceries--and the cashier is a pro at scanning and bagging, whereas I am not. Plus, it's not like these stores are going to pass along the labor savings to us. They'll just pocket the difference.
- theamk 3y ago... after waiting in line for 20+ minutes I remember the time before self-scan machines, and the lines were not shorter. Even "10 items or less" registers had huge lines.
- nielsbot 3y agoFair point--maybe the throughput is higher for self checkout. I still like not having to do the work myself tho.
