    I like them because it makes my bagging more efficient. At the lanes, if I’m getting a decent amount of groceries, I usually end up bagging for a while after I’ve paid and feel like a dick because I’m in the way of the people getting rung up behind me.

    At self checkouts, I take it out of the cart, scan, then stick it right in the bag. Even better if they don’t have the stupid weighing thing that assumes I’m trying to steal shit if they don’t micromanage every item going into my bag.

    Also, in this case, management is telling workers to not make fun of people who don’t want to use self checkouts.

      I’n Italy we use barcode scanners during the shopping and you scan everything. After that you only pay.

      Super useful as well because you can price check all the groceries while you pick them up and scan

        That would be nice, though I’ve got some questions.

        1. Do you bag as you shop, then?
        2. Do you need to involve staff if you change your mind about an item?
        3. Do they have a bag/receipt checker doing random searches in many stores?
        4. Are all stores like that?

        That’s an option at some stores in the US. I believe Walmart has that option for Walmart+ members, and I know Sam’s Club has the option available in their app for all members.
