OSUT#249 - What's Cooking at Your House??

[DoggyDaddy]

Evenin' Greg, ancjr and V8. Chilly and light rain still here. Down to 63 now.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Went to Kroger to pick up a few things to make my chili and you'd have thought there was a blizzard coming. It was a madhouse and they only had one full serve register open and only one set of self-checkouts open. Lines were crazy long.

I want to get out of the house but can't think of anything within my allowed timeframe.......

Same thing at the Jay-C this morning. It was nearly a customer revolt. A good number of people here do not like the self checkout at all.

The others appreciate the self checkout discount.

As soon as I walked in Kroger I was greeted by a shouting match between the cashier supervisor and a customer at the self-checkouts. It was just lovely.

I avoid going to any store after 9am. I don't go at all on the weekends, unless absolutely necessary.

They give you a discount? I don't know of anyplace that does that here.

Ironically, Saturday is usually pretty chill. It's the weekday afternoons that seem to be nuts.

I haven't ever heard of a discount.

Been a year since little buddy passed away.

Very sorry !

The thieves love the discount at the self checkouts, and the stores don't really care because they're too cheap to hire enough people to run the store. It's a race to the bottom on both parties.

If anyone bags something, or even sets it in the bagging area without scanning it, it won't let them continue. I love self checkout, but admittedly some folks are too stupid to use them.

My computer just died. Or at least the screen did. It went all white and now when I turn it on it is just black.

Most Self-Checkout are Two Cart setups
So after you have Scanned a Bags worth of Items and moved that bag to the 2ⁿᵈ cart --- you can then take items from the First cart - bypass Scanner -- directly to Second cart

Which is what the Store clerk is really watching for

So you're talking the five finger discount.
Yeah, I value my freedom too much to get that.

Not the ones I've seen here. And if someone has 2 carts worth of stuff they shouldn't be using self checkout.
