It really is a beautiful scam. You round up, they collect the money, they make the donation to the charity, they take the tax exemption, lol.


No, they don't. They are just acting as a withholding agent.

Cheaper for them, not quicker. They don't care that much about your time.

It's hard to believe with today's tech you can't push your buggy through a scanner that reads all of the barcodes and in a matter of seconds tells you how much you owe.

There is a new Circle K not far from me where you just set your shite on the counter and this deal scans everything at once.

They never refill the bags, so you have to plan accordingly, but that's why I wear cargo shorts all the time.

I'd rather the 18 registers at Target all be open instead of 2.

I get a bigger red arse at the “pick up” parking spaces. Someone is getting paid to haul your shite across the parking lot. I’m hauling mine for free; therefore, i should get to park closer.

Then don’t go to Lowe’s. It’s really that easy.

I’d be perfectly OK w self checkout if they gave even a small discount for using it.

Half the customers need assistance at the self checkouts creating long lines.

I give myself a small discount every once in awhile in self checkout by forgetting to scan what’s under the basket.


ETA: but yeh, F Lowes!

Hey look I give 1-2 cents every time Taco Bell or DQ asked me to round up… feel pretty pretty good about it to. Now when it’s $whatever .25 or more that’s a hard No.

They'll have a cashier waiting by the self checkout to assist people like you, but the regular lines with a standing cashier are over to the side. Unless you're in the future.


Mine has zero regular lanes open- occasionally one in the garden section checking people out

Pro tip: shop online and do in store pickup. Then the cashier has to go get your shite for you. And I don’t spend 15 min searching for said item.

I used to like Lowe's better than HD, but HD got dem handheld scanners and it only takes a minute to scan and GTFO.
Technology FTMFW.

They didnt have a cashier working the register…it all self check


At Lowes and Home Depot they almost always have the register open at the contractor's entrance at the lumber. I use them sometimes when I have theft deterrent equipped stuff. Never use them when you are buying the one penny clearance stuff, I was buying about 20 rolls of walnut veneer banding and it took me 20 minutes to check out. The clerk couldn't figure out how I had a whole bag of stuff and it only cost $0.22.
