At self-checkout in a lot of stores employees stand behind me because I move fast. Apparently that means I’m stealing rather than I move faster than a snail when there’s a huge line of people waiting.
God the ones here don’t let you. The scales have to match so you can only pick up one item at a time, scan it, put it in the bag, and wait for the scales to read.
I stopped going to Kroger grocery stores mostly over price but honestly even if they lowered prices I wouldn’t go back specifically because of this feature. It’s more pleasant to shop at Walmart or Safeway as they don’t use this kind of system.
Actually we had a 7-11 type store that took over a fast food place. They kept the drive-through and used that after like 6pm, taking a list and gathering everything while you were at the window. So awesome.
If a store has an intentionally terrible interface like this, or displays a video feed of you using it, I’m not touching self checkout. Going through a cashier’s line is fine, and walking away from my cart and never coming back is fine if that’s not an option.
I’ve been followed around a store. Guess what store I’ve never bought from and won’t be back to.
Circuit City
i’m starting to worry we’ll never find out which store it is. the suspense is killing me
Well you didn’t tell us which store so we don’t know
They told you to guess!
Radio Shack?
Everyone who ever entered a Radio Shack was followed around the store.
And enough people didn’t come back that they went out of business.
Man, I miss radio shack when they actually had electronic components.
Then I’m not wrong.

Oh my god I hated those scale checkouts in the US. “Please remove bag from area” etc.

I don’t have any krogers just their rebrands. I only shop the ads (when it’s actually a good deal) and do drive through pick up.
Self-checkout is the symptom. The disease is wandering around a store thst is ever changing and lack any industry standards.
Having them pick the order is like the olden days when stores were merely a counter with a clerk who would go in back and grab the items on your list.
Please let us go back to that.
