Where the hell are you guys shopping at because 95% of the time the cashier just wants to get you out of there ASAP as well. I may have only had one or two times in my life where a cashier has annoyed me with unwanted conversation at the register, yet I hear all these stories about chatty arse cashiers.


I still use self checkout if I'm only getting a couple of things and don't want to wait in line behind people with carts filled to the brim.

Self-checkout is a damn luxury. It’s very rare to get a polite person who even greets you when checking you out anymore. Most of the time the person is carrying on a conversation with another cashier on matters I quite honestly could not give a shite about.

I’m indifferent. My grocery stores don’t have them, so it’s basically just CVS when I have to use it. Not the end of the world.

I use it all the time but I generally only have a handful of items and I like to just use it real quick. If I have any fresh produce that they have to look up or a bunch of shite then I let them do it.

In every way self checkout is better.

Not making small talk with the cashier is a big selling point

I always use self checkout, when available. I'm faster than the cashers and am usually ready to GTFO of the store.

Quite the opposite. I go out of my way to self checkout.

I often pretend like I need help with some things. If everyone did that they’d just go back to cashiers.

So there is a measurable, useful benefit to the consumer.

Why would I interact with the cashier/other people if I don’t have to?


I'm about as introverted and anti-social as they come, but I actually enjoy interacting with a few of the cashiers where I shop. I guess because I've been shopping there so long and kind of gotten to know them.

Hell, I'd probably agree to pay 5% more just to use them so I don't have to deal with the lines and cashiers.

Y'all must shop at some shitty grocery stores. The employees at the Publix I shop at are almost annoyingly friendly and courteous.

Damn son you buy an extra item you weren't going to originally get if you have to use self checkout? That's how you stick it to the man.


And makes the time it takes to check out longer for him and anyone in line behind him.
