I know a lot of people here don't have tik tok. So this is a link that has the tik tok videos on it and I don't think you need tik tok to watch them. Click the link, not the picture.
There are two videos with the article.

I dislike self check outs (and try not to use them when there is a choice) because they are yet another way for big and successful businesses to make more money and employ less staff.
Our supermarkets have the self checkouts as well as the regular kind and I don't mind using them. I used to be a checkout operator, so I know what I'm doing and get through there quite quickly. If I'm buying a lot of things, I'll use a regular checkout because the checker packs the bags as he goes, there isn't space for that at a self checkout, yet some people do use them with a full trolley load. It weighs each item as it is bagged, so if you slip in something that hasn't been scanned through, the message pops up on the screen "unaccounted item in the bagging area please remove this item immediately". I can see how some people are tempted to steal this way, simply by leaving things in their trolley then adding the bags of stuff they scanned and just walking out. At my local store there are only five self checkouts and always a staffer on duty watching, so theft is rare. I wouldn't know about the big box stores as I never use them.
Sue - And the video gives you even more reasons not to use them.
River - But like the video said, you can do everything right and still get accused of theft. And with the stores, you're guilty until you can prove yourself innocent.
I leave a lot of com-girl-ts on TikTok, maybe you`ve read some of them, Mike ! ?.
I'd be one of those people that would accidently leave an item in my shopping cart!
Interesting.
I rarely use self checkout.
I didn't at all before covid. During covid, if I only have a few items, I figure that no line and nobody else handling my stuff is worth it.
I never use self-checkout and now I have more reasons not to do so.
I started using the self checkout at the grocery stores during Covid, and now it's become a habit.
I didn't know that but now I do and will have to rethink my self-checkout adventures. Thanks, Mike.
I never shop at Walmart but I use self check out at the grocery. I have yet to leave anything in my cart so I guess I will take my chances.
LJ - I only have a tik tok account so I can follow links that go there. Otherwise, I never look at it.
Martha - I'd be a guy that would punch the screen when the self-check-out started sassing me for something I did wrong.
John - The few times that I've tried it, I wind up having to call the monitor over to ask what do I do next.
Deb - No more attempts for me either. And that's what it always was for the few times I tried, an attempt.
Ukn - I hope you watch the second video in the article. It had the how to be cautious procedures to follow.
Matt - My self check out attempts will go from rarely to zero.
Lady - The second video shows you all the things you should do if you use self check out.
Thanks for worrying about me. I do all those things - small order, go slowly, use a credit card, save the receipt.
Three items or less I'll use self-checkout. Anything more, I'll wait in line.
Lady - Yea!
Kirk - One item fights me with every fiber of its being.
Mike, just for the sake of argu-girl-t, if you ever did randomly stumble onto any of the com-girl-ts that i leave on TikTok you`d recognise them as having been written by me immediately simply because they're a hundred times more hilarious, witty, clever, surreal, bizarre, and obviously genius oriented than any of the other non-me com-girl-ts you might read on there.
I don't much like self checkouts, but use them when I need to save time, or when I recognize all the checkers on duty don't know how to properly bag groceries (i.e., don't put the 10 pound bag of potatoes on the eggs and tomatoes).
Bill - Just remember to use the tricks in the second video.
