Stephen of Borg 2 Posted April 14, 2005 Is this what you thought the topic was going to be about? :blink: Anyway, when you go to a store, to you like using self-check out or do you still have the cashier check it out? I like the self-check out, it’s faster and not many people there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Butterfly 0 Posted April 14, 2005 :blink: I thought, strange is this about checking yourself out in the mirror!! :lol: I love self checkout. Much faster if you ask me, and it's not so frustrating if you are in a hurry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 5 Posted April 14, 2005 Traditional Check-Out for me. I've never tried the self-checkout but I'm afraid I would make mistakes doing it as I've seen others do.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yillara Skye 1 Posted April 14, 2005 Self Checkout, unless I have items like CDs or DVDs then I will go through the regular lanes(since they have the security strips that have to be deactivated). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekz 7 Posted April 14, 2005 I almost always use traditional checkout. Mu closest grocery store, which is very small, just tore out two checkout lanes to install self check out stations. They have a person there to help you, but I'd rather just be checked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fredbroca 0 Posted April 15, 2005 I like to go threw the casher. It always seems when I try to go with the self help something wrong happens and it seems I spend more time waiting for the casher in charge to fix it than if I would have just gone threw the line in the first place.

Itchygomba69 0 Posted April 15, 2005 i hate getting behind peopl who can not use the Self Checkout ugh you should be technological Savy to use them, and get a liscense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Butterfly 0 Posted April 15, 2005 It definitely seems easier for some than the others. As much as I enjoy self check, there is one store that I refuse to use it at, as something always goes wrong at theirs and it doubles my time in the store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mj 7 Posted April 16, 2005 I have had many problems at self check outs. So I've stopped using them. 318383[/snapback] Were the problems at Wal-Mart by any chance? My answer is: it depends! If I am at Wal-Mart --no! I tried the self check line at Wal-Mart, and it read all the higher cost items, then after reading a stick of gum or not reading it, kept saying in a loud voice something about my not having read an item in. The implication was that I was sticking things in the bag that I had not run through the scanner! I called for help! The Wal-Mart employee that came to help me had the same problem, and apparently it had been doing this to other people also. So back to the regular check out for me! If I am at the grocery store, and the lines are short, I go through the regular check-out. If the the line are long, and I have a lot of things in my grocery cart, I also go through the regular line unless I am in a hurry. If I am in a hurry, or the lines are long and I have a few items, I use the self check. But sometimes the lines are long in the self-check line also! Anyway..there is no option for "I use both" in the poll, so I won't vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted April 17, 2005 Myself I try to use the self checkout as much as I can. Sadly, I tend to trust them more as I tend to trust computers more than humans. Also, I am not real big on another person seeing everything that I am purchasing as there is usually at least one item in each of my purchases that will cause the regular cashier to give me a strange or judgemental look when they ring it up, it never fails.

BlueCrystal 0 Posted April 17, 2005 <_< When I'm on my own, I like to use the self-checkout because it's so easy. When Daniel and I are shopping together we always use the checkouts with cashiers running them because Daniel thinks that they may lose their jobs if they don't serve so many people. I imagine that if stores went self service that the cashiers would have to find jobs in other departments of the stores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valeris 2 Posted April 22, 2005 I much prefer the self checkout. Faster, and I am a firm believer in "if one wants something done right, do it oneself!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) anyway the new Wal*mart that opened up Self-Checkouts are horrible, they were telling me that my product I bought wasnt in the bagging area, this was happening to everyone **Edit I cant Spell** Edited April 22, 2005 by dragonwrangler95 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 23, 2005 I'll use it whenever I'm at a store that has one but I don't see them anymore... Our local K-Mart had it installed for about a month; I liked it allot because it was a real time saver but for some reason it didn't last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Butterfly 0 Posted April 23, 2005 A major chain in my home state allows you to self check up to 50 items. I love that. Rotating bag handles, you're done much quicker than if you go through a checker. I've not been able to find a chain that allows that many items here though. 10 items is the limit.
