    Also, some places do random inspection. But that’s frustration free too

    Yeah, I’m gonna disagree with that. They’ve recently ramped up those checks because of increased theft due to inflation. They also scan more items now. After having been checked 4 times in a row and them completely emptying my bag each time, I no longer use the self checkout.

        NL as well. Maybe it’s because it’s a big city, poor neighbourhood, more theft, I don’t know, but I’m done with it.

          Sounds frustrating, sorry to hear that

            Thanks, it really was. I had happily used the self-checkouts for years before that, so it’s a real shame.
