There is a plastic bag band in my city so they have paper bags sitting out, still folded, near the self-check-out. Of course naturally you would unfold a bag first and then place your items in them after you scan them, but if you grab and put it on the item placement thing, the machine tells you to rescan the item and won't let you do anything until you move the bag. This means you have to scan your items and place them on the item place thing then pay then put the items into your bag.

Of course, when I was little, it was my fervent dream to become a cashier once I grew up and I spent hours with my toy register and all our canned goods pulled out of the pantry so I could ring up the groceries. Sadly, I never realized my dream, so the self-check out is my only way of feeling a bit of that long-lost joy :)Kinley Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02648398736837020249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-61082100505114472512012-07-26T12:15:48.147-04:002012-07-26T12:15:48.147-04:00I feel so much better, I have not one time used on...I feel so much better, I have not one time used one of those silly things that the alarm hasn't gone off for some supposed offense I have committed against it requiring at least one and sometimes two people to come and fix it.Pajama Days in a Klonopin Hazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354363723619410522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-29163186147044341972012-07-26T12:07:28.262-04:002012-07-26T12:07:28.262-04:00Honestly, if a store doesn't have a self-check...Honestly, if a store doesn't have a self-checkout, I try not to shop there. Why? Because if I wanted to tell someone about my life, I would go to a bar. I don't want to talk to someone when I am buying feminine products, some chocolate, and an avocado. <br /><br />Also, the places without the self-checks have LINES... 12 registers and one cashier is not how it's supposed to work. Now I am one of those annoying people that will do my big shopping and go through the self check... I swear, I could probably fix those machines by now.Leauxrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056708620380337471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-68190280874308758062012-07-26T10:18:48.986-04:002012-07-26T10:18:48.986-04:00LOL.

So many people dislike them that the actual checkouts with human cashiers are backed up and it takes forever to get through those. Plus there are usually only 2 or 3 checkout lanes open, which is stupid since the stores have ten lanes and employees wandering around aimlessly. So I whiz through the self-checkout and I'm done before anyone else at the other registers. I find the self-checkouts to be more intelligent than the human cashiers anyway. But that might be my local area, ha!<br /><br />I don't like that the self checkouts are so LOUD. I'm not deaf, but the decibel level of those darn things is enough to cause it! :)Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276855616714767944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-79500301736335691582012-07-26T10:05:28.959-04:002012-07-26T10:05:28.959-04:00As I only learned to shop in the last few years th...As I only learned to shop in the last few years there is no way I am up for snotty machines and snippy clerks to tell me I am not register material.

(me cussing at a machine)<br /><br />However, most times, it doesn't like my produce,(Really can 3 bananas weigh 8 pounds) or the Diet coke on sale for 3 12 pks for $10.00 just rang up at $14.50.<br /><br />Then the real person comes over and acts like I "didn't do something right".
