Retailers are pulling back from self-checkout after years of theft, errors, and questionable time savings

Hmm I like self checkout because I don’t like dealing with retail people. I’m introverted by nature.

Just get me the F in and get me the F out. Charge the correct price and give me correct change. Machines do this SO WELL.

.

Another upgrade is that usually all retirees come out of their houses to shop at 11 - 14:00 to shop groceries (same time as employees are getting out for lunch).
The self checkouts are smaller and usally only used by the ones that have small number of items.
And the seniors usually tend to go to the cashiers anyway.
They can jumble with their change while I do not have to wait two eons to finally get out of the shop and back to the office.

Realistically the golden oldies still slow everything down, I’m usually buying at least an energy drink which locks it down until you’ve shown you’re not bloody sixteen. Given how understaffed the shops are, that’s not getting unlocked until Doris or Nigel has finished with their basket.

man age checks on energy drinks must suck, we don’t habe that here or I likely would dislike doing self check a little as well.

I would still do it because its defo faster but it might cause me to at least potentially think about it
