Imagine you're a bachelor who just got into a line with a pretty blonde with big tits and no ring on her finger. You're chatting her up, and then...

"Sir, self-checkout is clear! Self-checkout! Sir! Yes, you! Over here - we'll check them for you! At self-checkout! It's clear right now!"

Are you with me? Sweet. As you were.
 
Not to mention the cognitive dissonance of "...we'll check them for you! At self-checkout!"

Fffffffuuuu
 
Just be classy and respond, "Hey, moran, can't you see I'm trying to hit it with the big-titted bitch?"

That's what self-checkout has become.

A number of chains have already let the press know they plan to do away with them. We'll see what happens.
 
They brought them in here at several stores.
Then they discovered that people were putting through blueberries, etc. as onions.
Price difference and weight difference meant that blueberries were going out at around 35c/kilo.
And it was happening for loads of fruit and veg, costing the stores heaps.
So then they had a 'checker' to monitor the self-serve stations.
But the teens got together and 'bombed' the self-serve checkouts.... 15 to 20 teens all lined up with 1 item each, totally overloading the aisle.
Now the stores are removing these checkouts, and going back to normal.

For the record, I refuse point blank to use self-service... I would much rather keep someone employed.
 
I'm not shy about stating loud and clear that I would rather drop my merchandise and go to another business than use a self check out machine.

I pay for service and I will damned well have it!
 
I think it's silly to have a checker supervising four self checkouts when they could just as easily check 4 people out in the time it takes 4 people to check themselves out, and 3 of them would be out of there sooner, and the 4th would at least not have to deal with the aggravation of being told by a machine that his yogurt is the wrong weight or something.

So there.
 
Isn't this thread more about the big tit blonde with no ring on her finger?
Or is self checkout the way to go?
 
it depends. if you have a lot of shit and you suck at bagging and figuring out how to scan upc's then no. if you don't and you're not a total moron then yes.

What? I don't get it?
See what I did there
