Every damned time I use Self-Checkout..."Cashier has been notified to assist you..."

I read self-checkout as self-destruct

Me this evening. "Assistance? I don't need an attendant. I can get my own bag, damnit"

I actually find those things more frustrating. Regular cashiers I almost never have had an issue with.

UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA
AndrewBalderrama
Remove unexpected item from the bagging area YOU THIEF!
RatBasil
It's better than Home Depot near me. At the self checkout, the workers scan you items and press all the menu options for you. Point missed.
Virunuss
guarantee they had too much theft coming from self check and gave up on it.
TamariaMontgomery
I hate those things. It's much easier just to avoid eye contact with the humans.
magicrhombus
This, I put on headphones and go through the regular checkout. If they try to talk to me I just tap my headphones.
TropicalFishMakeExcellentBetweenMealSnacks
I refuse to self-checkout until they pay me a cashier's wage for doing it.
cag3db1rd
Set stuff on the side so the robot can get the weight. Get a few things on there, move it to the cart. Grab a bunch of bags. Bag later.
kinghupahjoop
I always yell at when it starts telling me to put things in the bag because i'm not fast enough.

My grocery bag is heavy, so it's always like, "There's something in the checkout area." YEAH! MY BAGS I TOLD YOU ABOUT!
Withallduerespect
Most self checkouts, if you wait like 5 seconds after filling a bag, you can remove it from the bagging area w/out fear of robotic reprisal
fakepointgenerator
The ones at shoppers dont make you put it in a bag, feels good.
Hammertulski
My Fred Meyer will allow you to proceed, but if the order had a weight/item alert at any point, it halts at payment for employee review.
hovelhopper
Maybe for you, but I'm always at least a little afraid of robotic reprisal

"ITEM REMOVED FROM BAGGING AREA. RETURN ITEM TO BAGGING AREA."

UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA
AIRBORNEALLTHEWAY
"I DIDN'T FUCKING PUT ANYTHING IN THE BAGGING AREA, FUCK!" "Look away kids, it's just an autistic 30 year old screeching at a robot."
Tyenation
GUYS ive got the solution. the whole bagging area is weighted so if you scan the item, and the weight is not added, the message pops up/
Tyenation
so just make sure the weight of your item can be felt in the are.yes the bags and stands are accounted for.sauce:pharm tech in grocery store
ThatsNoMoonItsaSpaceStation
Open the bags before you start .... but that’s only good for the first 2
NodYourHeadToThis
What if you just bag everything after paying? Just put all the items on the scale, pay, bag.
linogewotc
Yeah, I'll freely admit I should have done that, especially since they had a rotary bag holder thing with six racks.
JokerJeep
fancy. I'm lucky if there's enough space to put a full bag
relsky
Open the next bag before you scan. That works for everything. Also if you bag something light, push down on the scale so it senses a change.
millanbel
"The object you have placed in the bagging area is too heavy. Please remove *BEEP* *BEEP*"
relsky
Gotta be quick like bagging ninja!
mollyporph
We have the kind of self-checkouts here where you pick up a handscanner scan shit throughout the store and then just pay and leave.
linogewotc
That sounds amazing for the consumer, but how do they keep people from... just walking out?
mollyporph
Yeah, and you get random screening as well, fewer the more you use the system
misstell
There's always someone on hand by the check outs in case someone needs help.
circlebreaker
@linogewotc My strategy is to paml-heel it until the clerk resets the computer and fixes the problem. It seems to be 90% of their job FFS...
oddone30
Fuck self checkers your not getting a discount for doing their employees work.
NitroTheHusky
You do if you incorrectly label items to get them cheaper ;)
oddone30
But odd it’s faster. Yea only because they tricked you in to doing it they can layoff cashiers further funneling you to self checkers
hosdfo
Made the mistake of swiping an item twice, had to decide whether to talk to attendant or just pay twice
IAmTheBadW01f
It always bugs me about stuff, except for the one time I grabbed a 2-pack of pie crusts not realizing it was in fact two 2-packs stuck 1/
IAmTheBadW01f
together (it felt like the right number, I didn't question it). Not a sound, let me go on with my accidental theft. 2/2
nyquihol
Order online and have someone pick it up for you.
ArtOzz
Still too much interaction. Order it online and have them drop it off on the porch.
NameNotFoundException
Even better, order it from Amazon and have them drop it off indoors
ArtOzz
YES. Because as we all know, having a stranger wander in while youre there is comfort itself.
cousteau
Order it with a computer and have a drone deliver it to you.
NameNotFoundException
But then you still need to open the door and potentially go outside
cousteau
Nah, just open the window and let the drone in. Invite him to a beer.

I say conversate for the same reason I say Canadia or Floridia, or pronounce jalapeno as "jah-law-pen-o." It's just fun.
linogewotc
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conversate Oddly, it got its start not far from me.

curtan309
I feel you. I use 'conversate' all the time and get funny looks.
TheGlow
Because the word is converse.
ClockworkArchangel13
Well now i have to go back and find my college professor who spent 5 minutes berating me about this very "mistake" a couple years back.
linogewotc
Apparently it's quite contentious: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/is-conversate-a-real-word But also from around 1829 or so.
justyourfriendlyneighborhoodimgurian
Love me some knowledge!
The22ndDoctor
They also say "Literally" means "Figuratively" now, so their opinion is suspect. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally
m4uboy
actually, it wasn't uncommon a century ago for people to use literally as figuratively. i hate that this is the case, but it is.
The22ndDoctor
As with Conversate, people using it incorrectly does not give it the right to be in the dictionary. Ugh has been used for millennia;
m4uboy
gonna have to disagree with you there. language is alive and many legitimate alternate definitions started out as misuse/slang.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
I dont want what you lot use, to be called English anymore.
rophiandis
Yeah, but that's just because you don't understand how commas work
theresareasonforthat
I was in a comma once.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Conversate is not a word
rophiandis
I agree. Now that we're on the subject of butchering the language, explain what that comma is doing there
chunkymunky330200
See that's your first mistake. Leaving the house.

darksniperknight
Woke up, still got into an argument with myself today.
ASongOfPissAndFarts
You see kiddo, that's where you are wrong. The first mistake was ever being born.
PatronSaintofKillers
Worst. Mistake. Ever.
ThatSoundsVerySuggestive
You see, my friend, that's where you're incorrect. The first mistake was being sperm in the first place.

Yeah but they don't do grocery deliveries unless you live in a city.
TheGrinchStoleYourShit
Well then I suppose a lot of people are going to starve
SenorFunGuns
not true i can prime pantry stuff
TresusIbor
I'll admit I haven't looked in about a year. Maybe it's improved.
ScrippyChan
Semi-related, but not a comment on you in any way: if one cannot operate a self checkout in less than two minutes, they shouldn't be...
ScrippyChan
...allowed to use them at all. (2)
FreshBeets
Does that count the 5 minutes I have to wait for an employee to assist me because the scanner thinks I didn't put my bread in the bag area?
Virunuss
They aren't express lanes.
ScrippyChan
Yes, yes they are.
Virunuss
there are literally lanes with small bagging areas and ones with large ones for people with more stuff.
ScrippyChan
Zero fucks given. You're an inconsiderate fuck if you try to run your massive grocery trip through self-checkout. The cashier... (1)
ScrippyChan
...out of the way and use the manned lanes. (3)
ScrippyChan
...will process you far faster than you possibly could *anyway*. So if you've got a shitton of stuff or are just slow, get the fuck (2)
