I personally refuse to us this. I feel like we have been conditioned for years with crappy service,long lines, and only two lines out of 15 open. Now society thinks that doing the grocery stores job is more convenient. I can’t be the only one.

I use self checkout only, in order to minimize the possibility I might have to interact w/another human being

I prefer to bag my own groceries.I’m OCD to a point and I don’t like the way most checkers bag them.

I agree, no self checkout for me.

I don’t work for the store.

This^

And I'm usually faster than the cashier, even with the small bagging area.

So what if it’s conditioning to do the groceries store’s job. Scanning your own groceries isn’t fricking work baw. You already push the cart around the store, inspect and select your items, then return the cart to the cart corral. You’re just conditioned to being a puff.

Do you still get someone else to pump your gas?

Or do you do it yourself because it’s a simple job and can be done quicker yourself?

Do you like when you make kids do work for you that you can easily do yourself? How much do you love it when that kid has to ask you what kind of vegetable it is you’re trying to buy? Do you need help carrying your groceries out to your car too, grandpa?

Yes. I almost never pump my own gas.

Yes. Why not? Entry level job experience is good for kids.

Sure. Gives the bag boy a break for a slow stroll and cheap conversation.

If self checkout gives you something to bitch about, Y’all are going to hate the HEB myHEB app. Scan the barcode for each item on your phone, put the items in your bag(s) as you shop, and then weigh your cart before you leave and pay by phone. Checkout takes less than 60 seconds.

Best grocery shopping experience ever.

My biggest gripe is that it tends to lower the user's IQ by 50 points while using it.

I’m with you. I’d rather stand in a long line and help keep someone’s job.

Less disgusting people to deal with
Less disgusting people touching my fresh produce than already have
and I don't have to put up with Bon'Quisha picking up my Artichokes, Leeks or Bok Choy and asking "What Dis Be?"
