Retailers in Europe, like Booths supermarkets, and the United States, like Walmart, are pulling back on having self-checkout in light of complaints and shoplifting.
and then they sign the receipt at self check and on the way out. My guess is that this is still not accurate enough for them compared to traditional scanning. That said, it’s batshit if they if they don’t replace it with some express lines. Obviously most people in costco are there for a cart full of shit, but I (and judging by self check lines) often go in with a specific thing or 3 in mind.
and how long does it take you to find that thing or three?
lol kinda joking but kinda not. Every time I went in there for something, it had mysteriously moved halfway across the store and employees didn’t seem to know where…
And they specifically want to see the picture of you on the back.

iirc that is deliberate. They move things around so you have to browse and hopefully buy more than what you came for.
a common retail tactic, but I feel like costco is the worst.
