Use some common sense here. No one's job will be lost. If you've ever taken the time to notice, these self checkout lanes are for people and used by people who have a few items, for the most part. AND there is ALWAYS a cashier right there to help, take care of errors, etc.. So the SAME ONE cashier who would be in a lane taking care of those "15 items or less" customers is now manning the self checkout lanes. Duh.

I went to a store that had them and they had 4 people there telling them how to use them, what a joke. Just go back to regular checkouts, or drop the prices!

common sense will dictate that the one cashier operating the check out machines is handling at least 4. so they are doing the job of what would require 3 more cashiers. so 3 jobs are lost, one is kept.

i think they are stupid anyways, you are doing the work..swipping, bagging and doing it for free!!!! There should be a 15% discount for using one. but ya even so, let the people work and keep their jobs

Wow, you guys still go to supermarkets? I've been ordering groceries online for about five years. Home delivered on the weekend. Pay via a mobile credit card machine when they arrive. Delivery cost 0$ to about $7AUD depending on the delivery window.

No lines, no registers, no cashiers, only drivers and box boys.

Don't drive your car. You are putting horses out of a job.

Don't watch TV. You are putting actors out of business.

Stupid logic. Technological advancement is just that.

Plus, despite all the "Now with more lanes open" Walmart commercials, you still have to wait in line for 25 minutes while neanderthal woman attempts to check out the food-stamp-carrying, escalade driving, welfare loving, low life who coincidentally is trying to buy the lone unscannable item in the store. This prompts Lola to to call her homo erectus boss over who has to make a "magic" cordless phone (status symbol) call to the man behind the curtain to get a verdict. Then you get to the register. Lola never even looks at you. When you say "HI" all she does is grumble and look at her watch. Makes you want to grab her by the neck, shake her like a chicken, and yell "Hey!!! I'm talking to you!".

No thanks. I'll take the self scan. I'll also refrain from going to WalMart!. lol

The grocery store I frequent doesn't even have them. I wouldn't know what to do with it.

And I always tip the people who help get my bags to the car.

"How are you?", "Fine, thank you. And you?"c., takes less time that it does to total up the order and get it bagged. It's not selfish, it's friendly.

I use the checkout people.. Not the machine.

Figure, why should I do the work myself. The stuff costs enough as it is.
And I've been shopping at the same place for yrs and recognize the people checking me out.

- If there were long lines - I wouldn't shop there. Period.
Personal responsibility - try it sometime. Quit blaming others for your bad choices. Consequences happen.
