B/c that shit takes forever when they have to stand there and look up the codes and shit. I got stuff to do dammit.

1/27/2011 12:29:44 PM

I second this.

Also, taking alcohol through self-checkout.. fuck you.

You know you can't just scan it and walk off with alcohol.

1/27/2011 12:30:20 PM

I'm gonna ask you a bunch of questions, and I want them answered immediately

1/27/2011 12:30:27 PM

That reminds me. I need to find the check book and head down to the grocery store.

One.... hundred.................. seven.... teen.... dollars.... and... sixty...... three.... cents
Memo: Get off my lawn

Also annoying: Places that have self check-outs that can't make it through ONE transaction without a store employee having to come over to address something. Nope, you're orange juice doesn't come within one one-thousandths of a percentage for margin for error in the expected product's dimensions and weight. Better flash the need assistance light. Coupons? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I dare you to scan one.

-Some places self check-outs are better than others.

you're like the people that complain about someone driving too slow in the right lane while no one is blocking you from passing them in the left lane

1/27/2011 12:31:05 PM

The lady at the self checkout at my HT knows me and usually lets me get beer without showing her my ID.

However, there's this fat teenage kid who's been working there recently and he makes me show it to him everytime. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to get him fired without him knowing it was me.

that's really fucking annoying too. I'm usually the one driving "slow" (5 over) trying to save gas and some idiot comes up fast behind me and brakes really hard to avoid rear-ending me.

1/27/2011 12:36:23 PM

I mean if you have the codes memorized then OK, but take your obscure Malaysian organic starfruit through a line with a fucking cashier.

1/27/2011 12:36:42 PM

Nice night for walk

1/27/2011 12:39:59 PM

how dare somebody get in your way when they're minding their own goddamn business


if you want to check out with no wait, go at 3 am like the regular weirdos

1/27/2011 12:41:31 PM

^ Exactly. How dare they.

I always love seeing people with a full shopping cart doing the self check out.

They're probably the same idiots that would always bring 30+ items to the express lane "accidentally"

1/27/2011 1:44:15 PM

^ this

I make sure to groan and roll my eyes as much as possible (shows them). Usually the ones I see doing this look poor ... too stupid to get a job then too stupid to know when to use self checkout. I fault the grocery stores for not telling them to go through the correct lane as well.

It only takes like 5 seconds for them to check your ID at self checkout at HT so I don't have a problem with that

unless there's an item restriction on the self checkout, they're not in the incorrect lane

just perhaps not the most convenient... to you.

keep your assumptions, eye rolling, grunting, and all around childish behavior to yourself

aint a damn thing stopping you from picking another line

1/27/2011 2:02:31 PM

wow can't believe anyone would ever disagree on this. the world will never change.

the self checkout lane is my lane. they should have a terminal just for me and me only with my name written on it in gold letters considering how much beer I buy there.

That's what they let me do at Harris Teeter. Maybe you should lose some baby fat in your face

Nothing wrong with this and really the people who take forever with this take just as long with everything else at self checkout. It all boils down into three camps:

1) Dumb people who have done it 1000x and can get through it pretty quickly
2) Smart people who have never done it but figured it out after the first one or ask for help and then fly through the rest
3) Dumb people who take forever at this and take EQUALLY as long with the rest of their shit, Take forever to hit EBT, Wait till the dude happens to look before asking for cigs. Left ID in the car. Wants to sign up for a card etc.

Really produce is not hard unless you fail at reading alphabetically indexed lists. Never mind most of the produce at the supermarket has a sticker with the PLU code printed on there.

One thing Harris Teeter does that is stupid is they never put the damn code for organic bananas either on their list or on the bananas. So if I ever happen to decide to buy them in self-checkout I just end up ringing them in as regular bananas because I'm too impatient to wait for the high schooler to stop flirting with his coworker to come over and tell me what the code is.

1/27/2011 2:25:34 PM

pro tip. Go get a bunch of steaks. Ring them up as onions.

actually - my cart isn't full to the brim but it is pretty full (about 20-30 items) and I do the self check out all the time. but I can run through the self-checkout faster than some slow ass with 5 or 10 items. and if someone gets in line behind me and they only have an item or two, I always offer to let them go ahead of me.

1/27/2011 2:44:17 PM

ring everything up as bananas. comes up cheaper that way.

not that I would know...

just sayin...

^^^ do you go through self checkout because you think it is faster for you or do you just enjoy hitting the screen?

1/27/2011 2:52:24 PM

if there's 3 or more people in every line and the self checkout is empty, i'd do it, even if i had 20 items

^^^ It's like driving. Sometimes you'd rather take secondary roads, even if in the end they're slower, because at least you're moving and not stuck sitting in traffic on the primary road.

1/27/2011 3:13:45 PM

when i see someone go up to self checkout with a bunch of shit, i walk up to them and say:

BUT I HOPE YOU LEFT ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY FIST, CAUSE I'm GOING TO RAM IT INTO YOUR STOMACH, AND BREAK YOUR GODDAMN SPINE!!!!

1/27/2011 7:04:17 PM

today i saw a lady walking really slow on the sidewalk, right in the middle of it so it was impossible for anyone to pass. i immediately stopped my car, caught up to her, and then complained that she was making me miss all the important things that were going on in my life at that moment.

1/27/2011 7:08:22 PM

I use the self checkout because I like to avoid contact with others whenever possible.

1/27/2011 8:01:29 PM

I use the self checkout. Sometimes with lots of items. Faster that way. Deal with it.

I will say that some are definitely better than others. The ones at Kroger suck tremendously.

1/28/2011 12:02:14 AM

The self checkout is NEVER faster for large amounts of groceries.

There should definitely be a store rule about the number of items for self checkout.

1/28/2011 12:04:18 AM

I think it's faster than waiting in line behind Suzy Soccer Mom and her heaping cart of groceries for a family of 6, Ethel Mae who proceeds to write a check for a grapefruit and polident, and the 2 other people also waiting in that line.

Besides, I rarely ever get anything more than will fit in a hand basket, so it's not like I'm bringing a full cart through the U-Scan. That hand basket will be full though.

1/28/2011 12:15:56 AM

I tried this once. Food Lions self-checkout is dat 110% shitty kitty tastic. The conveyor belt is too sensitive. Every time it got "clogged" with too many items I had to have an employee scan their card to make it work again. Took me like 15 mins.

1/28/2011 1:23:13 AM

GOOD MORNING.

HOW ARE YOU?

YEAH.

Asians always take a long time to use the self checkout

I don't know why...my instinctive answer is "because they are stupid," but it probably goes deeper than that

Ha, thats what irks me the most...the coupons are scanned, but I cant be trusted to do it myself at most places. How do they expect me to use my expired coupons if the cashiers has to check them out first? This is one of the few areas where Food Lion wins by letting you scan coupons yourself.
