I have! The $ stores ur told to empty ur handheld basket. I don’t see the cashier not having hands to take items out of the basket! Then be told to put up the basket in the front of the store as u go out!
Better to check your self out! What u can at Walmart & Targe! Lol!
I swear the customer should be given a big discount,giftcards,tax free items, &/or other perks for pretty much doing everything by ourselves!

I prefer checking myself out... I usually do a better job than the cashiers.
-
Our Walmart has signs stating "We Support the American Worker" all over the self scan area. This is just wrong ???
-
When it is few items, I rather use the self check out at Walmart or Stop and Shop.
-
I tend to want to check myself out. I can usually find a self check with no line while the ones with clerks have long lines. Walmart can do a better job with more clerks at checkout. It's the same at Christmas time. Can be frustrating having to wait in long lines.
-
I've just recently started using the self check out when I have 1-6 items...don't like it but it is quick...hardly anyone uses them, especially the older folk... :thumbsup:

I work in a retail store. I'm not a cashier nor do I have anything to do with front end duties. However I know that cashiers are timed. Individually and as a whole cashiers have times to meet. This is to help our customers get in and out of the check out lines in a timely manner. When cashiers have to stop to take things out of customers baskets or wait for them to get there payments or coupons figured out that affects there time. This affects the line movement which effects other customers waiting behind them. All these details, times etc in turn tell the stores how many cashiers are needed at peak ours of the day. When someone is handicapped, elderly or have something else preventing them from taking things out of baskets cashiers can help when a utility clerk is unavailable. Cashiers do not have space to collect baskets. If they did it would be a safety concern...leading to yet another strike against them. Cashiers are there to service our customers within the guidelines they are required (to keep there jobs) to do. Waiting on our customers by putting baskets away is not there responsibility.

I generally check myself out when shopping in places like Walmart, Target etc.. in grocery store I usually go with the cashier but bag my groceries most of the time.

??? What?? Perhaps they think we're the proletariat and are all part of the worker state? ???

I don't see a problem with putting your own basket or buggy up. Personally I would about rather ring it up myself unless I have a lot of stuff. I don't expect a discount for doing it myself either. And the store doesn't charge tax. Your state does. So if you want it tax free look to the state you live in not the store you make the purchase from.

I don't see the problem. They have the SAME amount of cashiers. It is just a couple of the cashiers are watching multiple registers. And I have never saw those signs in our stores. The cashier watching 5 registers is still working. You still have a couple who ring up stuff in the middle of the store - so I don't see what the problem is.

I agree. People tend to think the cashiers or others working are there to be their slave. I have been a cashier before and it was in a place where the customer was suppose to put the items on the counter. If they stand there with items in a buggy I stood there and looked at them or asked them to to put the items on the counter.
No, it wasn't my job to walk around the counter and get the stuff out of the cart for them.

the only thing about self check out is when the machine goes loopy on you like " assistantance needed to skip bagging or please remove item from bagging area". then a worker has to help you anyway so makes one wonder what is the point for self checkout although in lieu of this i will admit i use self checkout whenever i can
-
We don't have that problem with Dollar stores or Wal-Mart.
-
I don't really like self check out. So I won't use it. I like the interaction with the clerk at the register too, and knowing I'm doing something that supports more jobs. I don't mind that self check out is available, especially in places like Walmart where, at least here, they are always understaffed and the lines are long to simply get out the door. But I don't like using it personally.
-
That has never happened to me. I automatically know to put the cart where others are stored and when making a purchase, someone else bags the items.
-
I use self check out only when I have a few items. To me this is like a express lane and I really don't like the hassle of large orders being checked out in something that is suppose to be convenient for others. As far as emptying my hand basket I have always done this myself unless the cashier tells me not worry about emptying it.
-
There is a store in my area called Publix and they are very customer service oriented but I know what you mean. I am disabled so I shop there I have to call them to bring out an electric cart, they take my stuff to the car and they will even send someone around the store with you to get high items hard to reach. Also they are very clean. The Wal-mart in our town is disgusting and you sure aren't going to get any help.
-
Oh I forgot to mention the one time recently I did go to Wal-mart there was only one register with a cashier and it was the one that sells cigarettes. All others self-serve. If I want something from wal-mart I shop online.
-
If I only have a few items, I will check myself out if self-checkouts are available.

I tend to agree. It is very rare these days that our grocery store visits are large fill up the buggy and pay $150+ trips. We are usually less than 20 items and I very rarely use the cashier line anymore - I seek out the self checkout line, unless I have too many items.
A woman who used to work with me absolutely refused to use self checkout because she believed it was putting someone else out of work and she was not shy about scolding me for my choice to use them. I just let her vent and move on.
The only beef I have is when the cashier who is supposed to be watching those six self checkout registers is instead chatting with a co-worker or too pre-occupied with a cell phone when there is a problem with someone using the self scan.

I like my Foodlion they are very helpful
-
I like checking myself out because I'm a bit antisocial. Lol. Anything's better than making small talk with the 18 year old cashier who wants to know whether my tv dinner tastes good.
I get sick of lazy cashiers personally. When I was a cashier, I'd let people just put their cart on my register and I'd empty it out myself. I was being paid $10 an hour, but for God's sake, how lazy can you get?
-
Everything is getting more expensive. Whether it is paying the same price for a bag with less potato chips or cookies or you want faster internet service-it will cost you more. I prefer going to the self check lanes because it is faster at the times that I go which is usually between six to eight in the morning. The cashiers are generally assigned with several other duties at that time of the morning and I can ring up all of my items before the dual tasking cashier can get back to, and unlock, their register. I do not mind unpacking my cart or bagging my own groceries, kind of goes with my work ethic and I have preferences for how my bags are filled-light, fragile stuff on top and heavy stuff on the bottom. I kind of crack up at the people that hop into the express lanes with a full basket, plop out sixty items in lanes that are clearly marked fifteen items or less.
-
I always check myself out. My $ store doesn't do any of that. They take stuff out of the basket and keep it at the register.

humm never thought of it like that,,,,, :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

It is worse than that!
Have you notice taxes collected by the Government for
services never received? Road improvements, fire and
public safety projects and more...never completed.
Should we demand a refund?
