I like them because it makes my bagging more efficient. At the lanes, if I'm getting a decent amount of groceries, I usually end up bagging for a while after I've paid and feel like a dick because I'm in the way of the people getting rung up behind me.
At self checkouts, I take it out of the cart, scan, then stick it right in the bag. Even better if they don't have the stupid weighing thing that assumes I'm trying to steal shit if they don't micromanage every item going into my bag.
Also, in this case, management is telling workers to not make fun of people who don't want to use self checkouts.
Don't feel like a dick for that! That again is management's fault!
Remember that bagging your groceries used to be part of the service and part of the price, they eliminated that job to increase their profit margins!
At least around here Walmart still bags them for me, except they now have the cashier doing it instead of a dedicated employee for bagging.
I'n Italy we use barcode scanners during the shopping and you scan everything. After that you only pay.
Super useful as well because you can price check all the groceries while you pick them up and scan
That would be nice, though I've got some questions.
Do you bag as you shop, then?
Do you need to involve staff if you change your mind about an item?
Do they have a bag/receipt checker doing random searches in many stores?
Are all stores like that?
1 yes
2 no, you click "delete item" and re-scan what you want to delete
3 yes
4 more and more, if they don't usually I wont shop there
That's an option at some stores in the US. I believe Walmart has that option for Walmart+ members, and I know Sam's Club has the option available in their app for all members.
