    I like the self checkouts. Usually much faster.

    You can get the deep discount of minimum wage for your portion of the hour used to check out, minus the added cost of self check out. If you don't like it, don't use it.

    I thought self check out was the term for the guys who stick the items in their coats and then walk out. Thats been a truck stop feature for years.

    That would provide the deep discount the other guy was looking for.

    I'm just curious.

    Why wouldn't someone like a self checkout?

    because any time it doesn't work right you have to wait for someone to come and fix it
     
    MJ1657 Thanks this.

    That makes sense.

    I use them all the time at Wal Mart and a local grocery store and don't recall ever having a problem.

    just another way to cut some one out of a job.
    but then you have the ones working there, who make you feel like you are making them waste their time by them having to work. They just want the paycheck
     
    MJ1657 and j3411 Thank this.

    I can see your point about it taking someones job.

    I like not having to deal with some of those just there for a paycheck idiots though.
