Why is Self Checkout not more common?

>>134056035
Because most customers don't understand how to use them.

>>134056035
It's really nice when you have less than 15 products.

here in austria its slowly coming to every store.... i love it, can't interact with people for shit. and cashiers are always ugly, thank god i dont have to deal with them anymore

>>134056035
This store is too large for sustain

Every store I go to has self-checkout.

>>134056035
Shit is slower than a cashier. you get the illusion of goig fast because the line is not at the machine.
Also theft, requires just as much people to check as a normal line

>>134056035
Every single chain grocery or otherwise store has them. They're alright, easy-ish to get your card info compromised though

>>134056237
In my opinion, this is slower at first, but when you are used to it, it's pretty fast.

And the fact that it requires just as much people means not too many jobs are lost.

So in my opinion, it's still pretty nice to have the option.

>>134056035
Haven't ever seen one. I also would not really care for it.

>fill a bag with $50 in almond flour
>put in as bananas

>>134056035
Imagine the rate of theft for stores in "certain areas"

>>134056197
>Every store I go to has self-checkout.
this.

Because niggers pretend to scan and steal shit. It's an honor system that just cant work in some demographics.

>>134056035
Because you need a card

>>134056035
This will take jobs away from teens, creating more NEETS.

>>134056065
Retarded

>>134056035
They're uncommon because the machines are too expensive to buy with the on-hand cash of the stores. When the store is first built, the financial risk is much smaller to hire cashiers than buy $five-figure$ machines. So the banks won't loan for them. After the store is built, there isn't enough on-hand cash to buy them--or the long term savings don't justify the investment. The only situation where you would see a lot of them is one in which a gigantic company had enough cash to avoid banks altogether when building the store.

That and they're very easy to steal from. i get free chocolate milk all the time with my groceries from Walmart.

>>134056035
Its more expensive for the owner of the store - saves having to deal with whiny annoying staff but in the end it costs more - trust me my family has owned supermarkets since the 70s.

>>134056422
Huh? Not at my stores

>>134056435
Doesn't that violate the NAP?

>>134056427
WTF I hate capitalism now.

>>134056357
I've been to Walmarts near shitty neighborhoods (I live in Niggerland Baton Rouge) and there are always security guards watching.

>>134056408
They have scales though, you can't do this except for light items

>>134056510
My Nietzschean Ancap worldview tells me that if you aren't able to protect your property you have no claim to it. Also if I'm Walmart I really, really don't give a shit.

>>134056110
It's also good when you're obviously drunk and you're hoping nobody will notice.

>>134056553
Wouldnt the money saved on the machines, the old lady they have watching 4 machines, the security guard behind her, the security guy watching the cameras, and the greeter who checks receipts be better used on just a fucking cashier and a security guard? But I guess the White Walmarts make enough to fund the black ones.

>>134056660
I wouldn't know, as I don't drink.

>>134056035
Every supermarket in Australia is fitted with these, they are great.

>>134056575
Theres also an option that lets you not bag an item and skip the scale.

>>134056035
It's kinda tedious if you bought a lot of groceries.

>>134056035
Hate people that have trollies and use them. Gives me the shits.

>>134056682
Then you have no excuse for liking these things.

I use them about two or three times a year.

>>134056449
>bag it
right, i forgot you people literally pay negroes to bag your shit

>>134056665
In those particular Walmarts, probably yes. But it looks racist for Walmart corporate to build a shittier Walmart on the bad part of town.

>>134056035
imo its because they're usually marked "15 items or less." At least where I live we don't often go to the grocery store to pick up a few things, but rather to stock up for a week or two.

>>134056035
depends

It doesn' work for people who do their shopping once a week and fill a cart.

Because it's slower, and people use it to steal shit.

>>134056035
because it relais on the hosnesty of the consumer

>>134056035
They usually don't accept cash, so if you don't have credit/debit it isn't an option.

>>134056035
I hate self check-outs when there are no other human operated cash registers open.

If only self-check out are open, you always have this old geezer who can't operate it and wastes an hour to scan his 2 shitty items.

Furthermore, the self-checkout is a pain in the ass to use. It will randomly lock during operation because you didn't place the item dead center, or because you moved it slightly, and the fucking fat nigresses who manage the cash registers are too busy doing their nails to overwrite the lock, which makes it significantly slower.

On top of that, they basically make me do the job they used to pay someone to do. At the very least, I should get something if I'm gonna be my own cashier, seeing as cashiers usually get paid to scan shit.

>>134056859

Every single one I've used accepts cash.

>>134056859
>usually don't accept cash
wew lad

I didn't know it was that bad already. Apparently now Visa is offering restaurants $10k bonus to go cashless.

>>134056683
All of my this.

>>134056035

Most do in the UK. Problem is that you need them to be manned anyway.

The best of both worlds is the Aldi till system where you have a packing bench and tell the customers not to pack AT the till if they have more than a few items, to alleviate the need for self serve, which still requires eyes on the floor and even theft prevention due to how easy it is to not scan something, accidentally or intentionally.

I welcome the day where stores just don't exist and instead warehouses with pre boxed and delivered orders of goods are the majority.

Retail in stores is fucking abysmal and toxic to both employees and customers due to the nature of the business.

WE DONT HAVE DIS IN MEXICO, WHEN I GO TO FAT AND RETARDED TEXAS THEY HAVE THIS AND I ALWAYS PUTO NOT BAG THIS ITEM BUT I DONT CARE AND I STEAL A BAG.

>>134056859
Every self checkout I've used accepted cash.
Home depot, Walmart, Kroger all took cash

>>134056449
Yep old folks avoid the self checkout so we don't have their slow asses scanning each products.

>>134056035
The ability of people to properly use them has been greatly oversold by the vendors of such equipment.

most grocery stores have them, hell, the one I'd describe the ghetto one in my area even has the fuckers.

>Majority of people are not technology savvy.

The general public can only go as far as using Facebook/instagram/ twitter.

Anything beyond that is a foreign concept.

I work for a software company and we get daily calls stating the software "destroyed" their computer.

8/10 times it's unplugged or the power is out.

The other times, their Internet is down.

It' just not reliable for me. The few time I used them, sometime it went really fast, sometime products weren't just refused to scan, and once I waited forever because people were chatting the whole time and since there's no cashier to do the job, it just lasted and lasted.
Overall I prefer using the standard line, cashier there just scan, so you bag yourself and it's fast enough.

>>134056035
Because many people, like me, prefer having a human contact instead of just another machine.

>>134056065
This. Almost every place I've ever been to with a self-checkout had to have an employee who could assist people with how to work the machine or for alcoholic purchases.

It's a god damn step by step guided touch screen. How do so many people fuck it up?

>>134056660
No one who works in a convenience store gives a fuck if you're drunk. They make minimum wage.

>>134058233
They don't have self-checkouts in nigger infested areas. At least I don't think there's self-checkouts in liquor stores.

>>134058267
>No one who works in a convenience store gives a fuck if you're drunk. They make minimum wage.
I give a fuck if I'm drunk. Sorry if I'm too white for you.

I've only resorted to the robot isle once because of this and it was nothing but crushing shame. I go to the checkout lady errytime, and help bag when the opportunity presents itself.

>go to expensive stores with only white people
>absolutely no one watching
>my grocery expenses are now 20% lower

I started to eat expensive meat again, I just forget to scan it and here goes 15$.

>>134056035
I should get a 10% discount if I do it myself, as I'm basically doing the job of the cashiers lol.

>>134058366
Why would you be ashamed of being drunk in a convenience store? Do you think they're not used to that? Are you walking into stores hammered at 1 in the afternoon or something?

The person who makes a couple hundred bucks a week isn't going to care or remember you unless you're puking your guts out on the floor and too drunk to walk.

At least in American, approximately 95% of customers will need assistance with self checkout.

>>134056035

These are great for stealing.

Label swapping meat works really well. Weighing all produce as bananas. Small expensive items can just be thrown in with a bag of apples and weighed.

I never use them. Why should i be a cashier/checkout person if the store isnt paying me for it.
Fuck the store trying to save money on workers by getting me to do the job for free, i dont use them on principle.

I prefer to go to the self service checkout, there is never a queue. Also you idiots don't realise that the more people who use self service the cheaper supermarkets will become as they won't need as many staff

>>134058013
this. i can't believe it took everyone this long to identify the issue.

>>134058605

I'm always nice, and the checkout ladies like me because I'm not a nigger. Niggers always ruin everything.

So instead we have a little bit of bantz and everything goes off at twice the speed of a regular isle interaction with half the trouble. Everybody comes out for the better.

What is and isn't worthy of being a "job" is arbitrary. You could equally say you're doing someone's job by picking up the items you want off of the shelf. You're just a lazy fuck who is obsessed with being "served" by someone.

´Wait what's stopping a brown/black person from abusing the lack of employees to steal?

>>134058518
>>134058590
I scan 4 and "forget" 1 or 2, no one can see it and if they do I will just pretend it's a mistake.
High end stores don't accuse people of stealing that's bad for them.

Also stealing is a 80$ fine in switzerland, only in burgerland where jails are privatised and owned by jews you risk it for petty crimes.

Working at Jimmy Johns is worse. But at least most retail / fast food places don't give a shit if you are wasted 24/7.

I worked for 6 months at one in a college area that was open until 2 am. I worked Friday / Saturday night with this crippled nog who had a fat girl friend who was into getting gangbanged. I was invited a few times to plow her.

I took shrooms, smoked a lot of pot, and drank like crazy while making subs for wasted college students. Traded a lot of subs for booze / drugs.

if you know how to use a computer or phone then you can use one of them easily. I do my weekly shop on a self checkout and I'm done in like 5 mins, I can scan, pack and pay faster than traditional checkouts and I don't have to wait in a queue or talk to anyone so that appeals to my NEET anti-social introvert tendencies

>>134056035
99% of the time the fucking thing gets an error that you need a staff member to put in a code to reset it all with anyway so it's more work and time than making these people do their job bagging your shit.

>>134058927
Wrong anglonigger, i understand that the store wants to make even more profits by hoodwinking the customer into thinking that there exists some magic go faster till, which in reality is just a ploy because they dont want to hire more people or in effect want to use their existing workforce even less.
The idea was probably thought up by some disgusting jew.

>>134059271
This is still Jewish/Nigger thinking. I'm very disappointed at your outlook, just like I'm disappointed that people tell me I shouldn't give a fuck because my life is in such a tailspin that I manage to show up to the store drunk.

What has become of us?

Do I get a fucking discount for doing something myself that I am fucking paying for?

If not, then they can fuck off. Also, screw Walmart for having 100 checkouts with only like 2 open at any given time those greedy fucks.

I used to be a check-out chick (male) and it's a pretty damn easy job so long as you don't get shithead customers. But holy shit the teenagers these days they hire are so damn braindead that I'm almost forced to use these. When you shit your pants because I gave you 75 cents with my $50 note so I can get a full dollar amount back in change then you shouldn't be working with cash at all, you should be outside collecting trolleys. Then there's the time issue, I can pack shit better and faster than half the retards behind the counter. It's not a hard thing, it's basically IRL Tetris.

>>134056035

From working retail your post reflects the attitude of the typical massively-entitled penny-pinching mouthbreathing shopper. You fucks walk into a supermarket and go into maximum-greed mode, exhibiting behaviours like:
>messing up shelves just to get the item at the back on the off chance it has a day extra on the use-by, even though you're going to eat the product well before that date
>harassing staff trying to get damaged / soon to expire shit reduced then complaining when shit doesn't get reduced 90%
>demanding overworked staff drop what they are doing just to walk you to the pasta section because you're too lazy and retarded to find it yourself
>complaing to staff about stuff being "too expensive" even though food in general takes up less and less a % of our income and farmers and suppliers are paid fuck all thanks to ever falling food prices
>thinking supermarkets are massively profitable and can sell everything much cheaper, without realising the margins are 2% at best and huge costs go into everything you buy

Whenever I go to Salisburys they have cauliflower and broccoli that goes out of date on the same day or 1 day later, you lift up the trays and there's a bunch of fresh ones underneath with 5 days left on them, also all of the bigger cauliflowers and broccoli have been picked up,but underneath there are loads. If I am paying money I am getting the best shit I can and if that means throwing one of the trays out of the way to get to the fresh stuff then so be it.

>>134059771
Imagine being scared of germs all your life not realising they are everywhere and at worst they will give you some mild stomach discomfort for a few hours.

Just seeing a picture reminds you of them you have ocd.

The dominant grocery chain in my area refuses to offer self-checkout due to their practice of kissing customer ass more than the competition.

I wouldn't mind this at all if it wasn't for the fact that almost half of all long lines at these stores are caused by cashiers getting too deep in conversation with whoever it is they're checking out. Sometimes friendly service can be too counterproductive.

Veg comes in with 3 days maximum on the best before.

If I were in charge I'd get rid of those dates because of the psychological impact it has on braindead customers. These people would happily pick up the same brocolli from the market without sparing a second thought, yet suddenly act allergic to anything displaying an upcoming best before. Cunts lifting up trays to scrounge for an extra day are the cause of supermarket food waste and shoud be gassed.

Why shouldn't they try to reduce waste as much as possible? When I was a kid growing up in the 50's I had to go to the markets and pick up the vegetables they couldn't sell just so my family could eat and that was on my Dad's military pension.

Because the minimum wage is so low. If it would be doubled there would be a ton more of these.

Is self checkout the first step towards eliminating cashiers?

I pricematch like a mad man, I can't be bothered to try to do it at a self-checkout. I also like to have a friendly chat with the cashier.

>>134060318

No really. you can tell because the cauliflowers turn from white to yellow when they are nearer to going mouldy. thats why I get them from underneath also because they are nice and white and fresh.

basically big supermarkets trying to jew people into buying shitty produce so they don't have to throw it out, so they can scrape the last few shekels out of everyone.

and they arn't just 1 extra day, like I say, they have 4 or 5 days on them sometimes. I know, I check the date on my phone and the date on the label, lucky enough I can count also.

Like I say, if im paying, Im getting the best stuff I can, so if you don't want people lifting up trays, don't put the other trays out, then I will shop somewhere else, simple.


If I knew which shop you worked in i would come in on purpose and fuck up all of the trays just because you're a twat.

It's called rotation. 90% of produce would have to be thrown away if everyone bought the newest stuff available. Stop acting like you're being scammed just because the supermarket tries to stop you jewing them.

lol I got accosted by an asset protection guy once

I didn't even have anything on my person, but they were freaked the fuck out that I tried to exit from the loading docks and forced me to go out the front door just to make sure the beepy gates would double-check the situation. I guess it didn't help that I'd tried to sprint away because I'd gotten a signal on my radio that there was an emergency at the next store over that needed to be resolved.

>>134060464

stop. you're going to make me cry.

So I should pay £1 for a shitty small yellow cauliflower when there are large white fresh ones underneath for the same price?

>>134056035
My local grocery store have them, and I use them out of necessity since they have zero cashiers at 3am when I do my shopping.

If people didn't dive underneath like jews in the first place there wouldn't be expiring produce because the stuff on top would be bought on the correct day. Thanks for contributing to the pack greed mentality that creates higher food prices though.

self checkout is jews replacing whiny humans who need breaks and paychecks. Machines don't need a salary, you pay for them once and you got yourself a slave better than any human can be.

Soon jews will give machines the right to vote. Of course they will only vote they way they were programmed to vote.

The most frequent theft rates that happen with my job are usually younger people. But the highest bulk quantity of theft that is attempted is usually by 30-40 something white females who come in to fill huge bins full of merchandise then try to stroll out a side door or the front exit.

Most of them appear to have a drug addiction so it's not too surprising they never realize there's no way they're getting away with it.

I worked at homeaways call center in south Austin. It is a company of sjws, niggers, fags, and other bernouts. The customers were rich old people who literally had 10 year old computers who didn't know what a right click meant on a mouse.

I honestly hate the elderly since working there and love hearing stories of them being abused. I also love hearing about high suicide rates for trannies.

You guys do whatever you want. It's not as though the store is going to stop you from doing so. Luckily there's a large number of customers that find it morally wrong and not just people like you.

Not even sure why people in this thread are upset about it. No one is forcing them to buy the older stock. If you're going to be a shitty member of your community over something so minor just accept that people with jobs there won't like that you're doing it.

I work in a supermarket and many people over about 40 cannot understand what to do when given spoken instructions and a diagram on the screen, so an assistant has to go and do it for them, then the customer complains the machine gave them a bad experience.

They operate in an autopilot mode where they're only willing to do a very limited course of actions and if that doesn't work they feel they're being unnecessarily obstructed.

They only have the vaguest idea of how the process is going to work, and they consider the machine to be a source of massive potential hindrance so they mentally filter out any instructions it might give, so they go up and start waving a can at the card reader then chimp out when it calls for assistance.

The main reason is that unions are rampant in the grocery industry. The contracts that they negotiate with the grocery stores limit the amount of technology like "self check out" that they're allowed to employ so they can "save the jobs" of the employees.

There's also the minor reason that some customers just don't want to check themselves out, so they retain some human staff for the purposes of providing customer service.

You haven't spoken to a human being for weeks straight and have been eating nothing but Top Ramen for the duration.

You're a retard. If there's no more employees, or a minimal amount, the prices will go down because you won't have to pay for their salary anymore. So use it until you put them out of business.
I've seen it happen in grocery stores that reduced the price on every good so they had to fire their baggers.

You'd think. But these things have a bloated state machine that requires you to put things in bags on a certain timetable and declare in the user interface then you remove a bag. I just want to scan all my items, pay and go. Every so often these things will bitch "Undetected item in bagging area" and you'll be locked out of inputting anything for 10 seconds.

Sam's Club has the right idea in just handing you the wireless scan gun. When I go there, I don't even have to take my groceries out of my cart when I go to pay. End up paying literally 10x faster than having a human cashier.

Good job anon, just watch out for cameras

Some people I've talked to simply don't want to do the work themselves. These fatties will die from type 2 soon though so it won't be a problem.

What did he meant by this?

>>134065228

There's some technology coming down the pike where you literally just put your items in a basket and walk out the door and there is a scanner that catches everything in your basket on the way out and charges your debit or credit card. This is the sort of technology that unions are suppressing.

Trolley full of shit is different to a couple items. The Coles 2 minutes away from me got rid of their 12 items or less checkouts so to hell if I'm waiting behind someone with a trolley full. Thankfully I only duck in to grab something I need right then and there.

But yeah, before this bread slides I just want to make this one point. I used to avoid the self checkout because
>muh jobs
But I came to realize, you know what? I'm not a fucking cashier. Why the fuck should I care? If this leads to the cashiers having a shittier life then it's their responsibility to foment a revolution. When they automate my job I'll be right with you faggots. But until then it's up to you cucks to get the ball rolling.

People made the same arguments when they started building machines for mass farming when 80% of people were still farmers, now less than farmers make up less than 2% of the work force. If you automate away mindless tasks people will just find other skills and we'll will become more efficient as a society not having to do these menial tasks.

I significantly prefer the self checkouts to a cashier, but I don't use them anymore.

This is one of the most visible examples of machines out-preforming humans at a service job and I don't want to further automation unemployment if I can help it. I make decent money, but my job is only maybe 20 yrs away from this fate, so it would be stupid of me to support this.

>>134065996

>I don't want to further automation unemployment if I can help it

If you're worried about jobs, just get rid of all the mass farming equipment that's been developed in the last century. Then you'll have full employment and everyone will be starving. Automation does not hurt society, it actually makes us richer because we can produce more at a lower cost which has a downward pressure on prices. If people's jobs are threatened, they will find new, more productive skills in the economy.

Listen you dumb fucks. The thing is you are paying this business. But doing self checkout you allow them to pawn their own store labor off on you.
The store ought to employ enough people so there are ample cashiers to check everyone out.
It is still there to service you. You pay the retail upcharge because it provides some semblance of service- not so you go in there and do everything yourself.

Wrong. Back then technology focused on increasing an individuals productivity. There was still a need for the increased productivity. We're at a point now where technology is focused on removing the need for people altogether and where the kikes just assume the other kike is going to hire people so people can actually afford to buy all the useless shit they are manufacturing?
You're fucking retarded and naive if you think everybody who gets replaced is going to find a job. That's the whole point of shit like robotic arms and self checkouts. You have 1 technician who works out of his van that services 10 different companies automated equipment which put 1000 people out of work. Only fucking retarded ffucking stupid piece of shit retards believe what you believe. You should ltierally fucking neck yourself right now if that's what you fucking believe.
And the numbers don't fucking lie. Faggot politicians gloss over all this shit with faggot bullshit economic numbers but the reality is only half the working age population has stable full time employment now. And a lot of that is just make-work jobs.

Sorry but the kike-worshipping mentality of our shitty consumerist garbage society says that the Jews can do whatever they want with their money, even though they earned most of it doing nothing but skimming off the top with usury.

Maybe if it takes a century to be implemented and there is a robust economy surrounding it.

I'm no neo-luddite, but when most jobs will be eligible for automation within the next 20-50 years, we're moving into uncharted territory.

Brit ones are a fucking god sent. I pay for at least 1/4 of my shopping with 1, 2 and 5 pennies, and the rest by card. Plus I can steal all the carrier bags I like.

>You pay the retail upcharge because it provides some semblance of service

Wouldn't that be up to the individual to make that decision for themselves? If I can get lower prices on my groceries and I just have to check myself out, then I'm taking the lower prices. If you want to pay the higher prices, then shop somewhere that has human cashiers.
