You’d think so, but even then I feel pressure. People go to the self checkouts for the quick and convenient process . Then here I am holding EVERYONE UP trying to gather my bags and fumbling around with my receipt. Every time.
Relish it. Go through your receipt and verify every item is in the bags. Bonus points for ticking off each entry with a pen and confirming the SKUs are correct.
Point out on the card where uncle touchy touched you.
You monster.
Just be like the slow driver in the left lane not giving a fuck.
sounds like your area needs more stores or at least more terminals, all the stores i've been to basically never have a queue for the self checkout.
Did a self checkout recently at a store I'd never been to before. Went through pretty smooth, shoved receipt in my pocket, and then saw they had little security gates and a receipt scanner, so I had to fish out the crumpled paper from my pocket, fumble around trying to find the barcode thing, and of course it also had a random QR code that I tried to scan for like a minute until the security guard had to come over and help me. Luckily it wasn't that busy, but if there had been someone waiting behind me it woulda been a nightmare.
Nope. Back in my day we got service buying gas. Now I have to pay more for gas and do it myself. You are destroying a society, and to a point making somebody not being able to have a job for as long as possible. You pay extra and corporate benefits
Eh, it's just unecessary. I'm all in favor of phasing out boring, repetitive jobs. Have humans do fun things while robots run shit we don't want to deal with.
My man, you the robot.
Yeah, all those fun things you can do without a job like sleeping in my car or wandering the streets.

Except that’s not what happens
I guess thats a fair point. I was talking more about stores tho where you can choose between self-checkout and normal checkout.

This is why my home town has a bylaw indicating that fuel can only be dispensed by personnel of the business retailing the fuel. Sometimes people from out of town do insist on pumping their own gas though.
Sounds like a decent community. Kudos.

Yeah except the exact change, coupon hounds and just generally dim folks tie those up too. And it’s a 4:1 fuck up.
I was in Home Depot and some donut was trying to buy a grill he wheeled in from the display outside through self checkout. The. Demanded to not have a floor model. Tied up the cashier for a hot minute. Meanwhile another old lady started flagging down some rando to help with a coupon that I’m fairly sure was fucking years expired. And some third poor soul had a legit problem but was in donut purgatory for a bit.
The checkout line guy was literally faster. But I wasn’t in a hurry and was just enjoying the show and letting others cut and go through the non self checkout. It was fucking mesmerizing.
Or just the paying with card gang...

Exactly what it feels like. Had this happen once and the 5 people behind me were like "dude calm down we're not gonna shoot you lol, take your time". Which didn't calm me down. At all. 😂
Understandably, shooting someone isn't really something one should joke about
I don't live in America or Brazil if that helps haha
That's something you'll lose with age and some self confidence, take your time, everyone else is taking yours too.
The problem is the idiot cashiers that want to hand you the coins, bills, and receipts in one pile. Do they not know those go 3 different places?
They do it this way in Japan. The solution is simple: you take everything, move to the self-bagging area (most supermarkets are self-bagging), and do your sorting and tidying there.
Just a few tables to get things in order before leaving the store.
Is that not the standard way to hand them to a customer?
AFAIK it is.
Not really sure why people are putting away their money while still standing in line anyways. I just step out of the way and let the next person go while I put away my cash and stuff.

Yeah, we need a third arm!
Good cashiers give them so separated in one hand that you can easily put everything where is belongs one at a time. I see them and i appreciate it

Idgaf what’s five seconds gonna waste you? I’m already done with my purchase.
Can someone tell me from which movie or TV show this meme is?
Jessica Jones
Thank you!
One of David Tennant's best performances imo.
Yeah, I love his performance since I saw him in/as Doctor Who!
In Doctor Who, as The Doctor.
I believe only season 1, though.
Season 1 was fantastic, it dropped off pretty quickly after that imo.
Me. I'm the next person in line. Hahaha
Or those people who pay for their stuff but still haven't packed a single thing, so you have to wait even longer while they pack everything.
I hate it when that happens.
I've had that happen before when I used to work at Arby's.
First customer of my shift, and this monster pays for a regular roast beef sandwich entirely in pennies. It was roughly 450~ pennies. I was ready to murder.

Just take your change and step to the side. Allows the next person to continue checking out and gives you plenty of time to put away your change.

I just stuff it in my shirt pocket and fix it when I'm outside
I like to not give a shot and take my time. Sometimes it works and I'm relaxed. Other times I feel the pressure and I'm awkward. Some employes like to scan the items so fast that I hardly have time to pack them in the bag then they just stand there looking at me with this face while I clumsily finish packing and pay.

This feels especially distressing while I'm stoned. Like people staring at me fumbling around in my pockets for what feels like an eternity, when the interaction really took like 25 seconds.
Hey, man. At least you're not paying with a check.
It's because you paid in cash and everyone had to wait for the cashier to do what they do.
It had nothing to do with getting the money back in/on your person.
