Self-checkouts irritate me – I don’t use them. And when I’m forced to they always seem to have issues. They seem to be taking more of the lanes to where I might have to adapt.

I will resist this as long as possible. You raise prices and expect me to do your job so you can be more profitable. And then someone wants to stop you and check a receipt, screw that. If you don’t trust me to do the job, get someone to do it.

The jobs and people interaction if you hire the right ones will keep bringing people to your stores. The jobs provided for young and old people and give them the opportunity to build on something for the future or make their senior years livable.

I’ll always go to a person at checkout if I can. I like saying “thank you, have a nice day” when they finished ringing me out. The alternative is flipping a discreet bird to a machine.

I never liked shopping in the first place and this change doesn’t improve it for me so far.
