All of the dollar general stores in my area have shut down self check out due to theft.

Good. I hate those things. If I wanted to scan groceries, I would have dropped out of high school.
yeah bc standing in line waiting for someone else to scan your groceries is so much more dignified than getting it done faster yourself.

too bad high school nor your parents taught you humility.


Not to mention that I have to stand there and make sure the troglodytes are scanning my stuff properly and not trying to throw my 5lb. bag of potatoes on top of my loaf of bread, and a 12-pack of drinks on top of a carton of eggs, along with randomly putting refrigerated items in with things off the shelf.

I would much rather get my stuff, scan it, bag it, and GTFO in much less time with no hassle.

Do you remember brown paper grocery bags, and the way that the "bag boys" loaded them so carefully for you, starting with the heavy items at the bottom of each bag?

Now, they just throw everything willy-nilly into 75 plastic bags. I MUCH prefer bagging my own stuff, especially if I am buying breads or produce.

Blatant retail theft should be, but what about my white lie upgrades to organic for the price of standard? I always return the cart to the cart corrall and I only do this at large corporate chains like Wal-Mart or Fred Meyer.

At WalMart you're lucky if more than 2-3 cashier manned registers are open.

And manned by the oldest, slowest, person they could hire. The art of the fast checkout scanner has been killed.

Personally, I think I use self checkout, I should get a discount.



You do though. Federal minimum wage is still what $7.25? Say you are paying $10 for a cashier and now you got to go to $20. Your discount comes in the form of not paying for those increased wages.

What they need to do is just have self checkouts as pay by credit/debit only. That way you can be identified if you don't scan something. I wouldn't mind this at all.

Hey customer, we noticed you didn't pay for XYZ at self checkout. We will charge your card for the items missed.

Also, Winn Dixie and Costco does it right with the scales. Those things are awesome. It will pick up any error quickly and show you a replay so you know what didn't scan.

That makes no sense at all.

Just hire a security guard at the self checkout. Make the guard stand there 24/7 strapped with an assault rifle. Maybe that will deter the thieves

I don’t steal anything and will be happy to pay extra not to have to wait on some disinterested cashier plus the brain processing speed of the average WalMart shopper.

Give me self-checkout any day.

You have to be a fricking idiot or forced to implement corporate DEI policies to not know what store locations to install and not install self checkout machines.

Should that read "Stop Stealing (comma) Assholes?"

I know what you meant, but, it sounded like you were upset that people were actually 'stealing assholes'...

The one by me used to be 85% self checkout until a couple weeks ago. Now it’s 5% self check and the rest are obese idiots who can barely operate a plastic bag let alone a register.

But they’ll be the last company to go down regardless of the service expected.
