I stopped shopping at Cub specifically because the self-checkout registers were just like the ones described above. The cashier lanes weren’t any better because I still had to do all the work except scanning anyway.
Cub is the most convenient location for me by about 5 miles, but I refuse to go there because the service is so very bad.
The self check at my local Cub is awful, the paranoid self check is so frustrating, especially because I bring my own bags and it never works right. And it's so expensive compared to every other grocery store in the area.
I want to like Cub because they're the only union grocery store that's convenient, but allegedly they allow lower management in the union and that's caused problems, and the rumor I've heard is that the company that owns Cub is intentionally running it into the ground in order to kill the union. But given how shitty all retail has become, I'm not sure how true that rumor is.
