Should you get a discount for using the self service checkout?

No, because then I will have to wait in line behind even more people who have no idea how to use it.

[incognita]

So much this.

[demiraks_world]

Yeah, this too.

[theniwokesoftly]

Exactly.

[marijuanakills]

Nah, those machines cost and employees still have to be paid to monitor and assist in those areas.

[grandwazooo]

if there wasn't a saving to the shop why would they bother to fit them?

I assume the employees on call to assist with those self check outs also have other duties as well. Another cashier couldn't leave her post to put stuff away, etc. So maybe it's like two people in one?

I'm in CA and where I live the person who assists with self check outs are floaters doing other things up in the front of the store.

[grandwazooo]

so the self checkout saves a cashier.
the person using the checkout does that cashiers job for 0 finincial gain - the store gains the cost of a staff member.

yes. it's annoying as all hell to use, and saves the business money. i hate being forced to use it. augh!

[pseudosoliloquy]

at my 24 hr grocery store they shut down regular checkout at midnight, forcing those who want/need to shop after that to use the self checkout.

[grandwazooo]
