Do you prefer self-checkout when shopping?
Matthew BAug 16, 20
I love self-checkout. It's quick, easy and I don't have to deal with other human beings. Perfection. I know some people detest self-checkout though. I am not one of them.

              I sometimes like self-check out, but i would rather go to a cashier. Most of the time it is crowded and i would still have to wait.

                  I use self-checkout because usually quicker. When I saw it in USA, it was a new, fun way, then it came of course to Australia, so I continued to use it. Thanks for drawing my attention to job-loss, I’ll consider this. The only problem that these self-checkouts already and permanently took people’ jobs...?!?

                    Well if people stop using them they will have to re employ people.

                  No, I do not. I prefer human contact and it is annoying at self checkout if there is a problem, it can't be fixed and the solution is "pay for your items and then get service desk to give you a refund". Ridiculous.

                      NO. CERTAINLY NOT. IT IS TIME THOSE THAT USE IT REALISE THAT THEY ONLY MAKING MORE PROFIT FOR THE COMPANY. THEY ARE PUTTING CHECKOUT PEOPLE OUT OF A JOB AS THEY DO NOT NEED SO MUCH STAFF WHEN YOU ARE DOING THEIR WORK

                            No! I want someone else to scan my purchase and pack my bags. It's enough that I have to pay for the stuff.

                              Why use them when it's taking someone's job from them so that the supermarket can make a bigger profit.

                              Prior to Covid, I used them occasionally, but I'd rather keep someone in a job

                                The youngsters usually appreciate it if you say that to them too. Much prefer to keep them in a job.

                              I'm afraid I don't have very much luck with the machines, they don't seem to even what to take my money! You can hear the machines moaning when I walk up to them! And yeah, agree with David S, jobs being eroded.

                              Yes I totally love them, as your dealing with your own shopping, it is so easy, quick & you pack the way you want. Some staff don't know how to pack at all. I hate it when bread is with laundry stuff, or cold items with Laundry stuff. For this reason I love self serve.
