For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
If you can’t scan your groceries at self check out under 3 minutes go to a register when it’s busy. You’re people are holding the rest of us up. I can scan a full cart faster than some can scan their 10 items.
My grocery store just changed from 6 registers + self-checkout to 2 registers + 12 self checkout.
And the register lanes used to always be full.
I do not look forward to going to the store now. It’s a mess.
Depends entirely on the self checkout system in use. My local Kroger has a system that’s absolutely awful to use. Seconds between placing an item in the baking area and the register acknowledging it, and if you scan another item before it’s weighed and acknowledged it’ll yell at you. A few times of that and an associate has to come by and unlock it.
Most of the ones I’ve used at Walmart will handle me scanning and bagging as fast as I want for the most part.
Pro tip: just scan what you can in 3 minutes and take the rest as payment for doing their work.
I love self checkouts at most places except supermarkets. It’s a shit show.
At my supermarket, it was 1 regular register and 8 self checkouts with attendants helping customers.
Theft was so outrageous, they had to have four attendants and two security guards at the self checkout because machines kept breaking, things weren’t being scanned, and people were stealing.
Hey, if these companies want the job done right they should hire a professional to do it! ;)
