I suppose you might also leave trash at your seat in a movie theater or restaurant. After all, cleaning up is someone else's job and you don't even work there. Plus, you can pat yourself on the back for contributing to that person's job security with your added burden like some of the people here.

Do you actually talk do the cashier? I usually just say „hello”, „thank you”, and „goodbye”, that’s it.

I AM the human cashier when I do self-checkout. People don't care WHO or what does it, they themselves just don't want to.

In my supermarket you can go through stuff they picked for you and reject anything you don’t like.

I have witnessed far to many people with full carts que into the self check out, and than they get frustrated when every other thing they scan throws a flag.

Bitch, SCO is for 10 items or less!

Tucking the nozzle into my carussy

But we love it when you visit... (Camera cranes in for an unrequited hug.)

Hate to break this to you, but you are on the QTEE list and everyone is looking at your picture while they get coffee in the morning in the break room.

Just do like me and replay a Homestarrunner cartoon while waiting in line. Then reference it like the 18 year old at check out knows what the crap you are talking about.

'I'm sorry, Mergetrude, can you halp an old master gather his particles....?'

But where are the mirrors?

Here in NZ, the self checkout is the preferred option for any amount of shopping. It's so much quicker and you don't have to engage in pointless small talk. I just got home from doing some grocery shopping and they had about 10 self checkouts and maybe 2 or 3 human ones that nobody was using.

Bro, are you really getting this fucking serious for a meme, chill the fuck out

With a cashier, I can start packing while they scan, which is way faster

I don't enter a store without coming out with beer, an item that needs to be age verified by a cashier. I always have to stand around waiting for one of them to leave the cash register and come over and clear it.

Pisses me off.

Give me my god damned beer so nobody gets hurt.

Yes the first one came out wrong. The "this" which I claim is not as much of a thing outside Germany is the insane pressure to pack your bag extremely quickly, not the feeling of anxiety.

Yo, recommend me a beer! I don't like hazy stuff but everything else is on the menu.

The point is that we are being asked as paying customers to perform work which previously employed people to do it for us, strictly out of a profit motive for the store.

They are destroying jobs by shifting the workload onto the customer, so that some chain cunt can marginally increase their already immense wealth while fucking over the workers and the customers.

I was tired and hung over once and got checked at self-checkout, apparently forgot to scan two items. Probably looked incredibly suspicious.

Told the girl I simply forgot, she said 'ok', added the items, and let me leave. Never had issues since, didn't get checked more regularly after that or anything.

So, yeah, they almost certainly just take into account people (deliberately) forgetting.

Reminds me of this Bill Burr clip.

"You know what I hate about these corporate chains? You go in there you're paying for a business, they make you like do half the job now. I don't get it. Like I walk in there,

- Hey, lemme get a turkey sandwich. Lettuce, tomato, on rye, with mayonnaise.

The guy behind the counter's like,

- All right, turkey sandwich, lettuce, tomato, on rye.

- And mayonnaise.

- Oh, the mayonnaise is, uuh, right over there.

- Really? Why don't you, UUH, fucking GO OVER THERE and, UUH, put it on my sandwich?"

(Yeah I just wrote that out. Why? Fuck you I don't have to explain myself to you.)

Yes but you often have to wait to get to the cashier
