wait, what's wrong with self checkout lines now?

Just because someone lets you sit in the cockpit doesn't mean you should be flying a plane. Odin.Zicdeh said: » Asura.Kingnobody said: » Odin.Zicdeh said: » Asura.Kingnobody said: » We already come to the conclusion that the problem with self-checkout lines is the user, not the system like you suggested. The system requires a user, wouldn't that make the system broken in design? It's like saying a Hospital would be great if it weren't for all the sick people. When it works for most people, but the few who are either computer illiterate or, in Vic's case, life illiterate, then how can you blame the system for not working for those few people? A real system designer would iterate and improve, but doing half the work is okay too I guess.

Just because someone lets you sit in the cockpit doesn't mean you should be flying a plane. Not every response is in disagreement, try reading the content of a post instead of assuming the content based on a quote train. I don't have any trouble using self-checkout, but I tend to avoid it anyway, if I can help it.
My local Walmart has (I believe) 8 self-checkout registers, and at any given time, half of them aren't working. Of the remaining half, at least 2 are in need of assistance (which usually isn't there), while the rest are being used by people who, shall we say, really put the idiot-proof machines through their paces. I usually find it's easier, less-stressful, and often faster to just go through a cashier line. "They said they were idiot-proof! Well, we put their name to the test!"

At Walmart I will only use self check out.
At Shoprite I prefer the personal touch, but at Walmart, no thanks. At Shoprite you have some cute chick that checks you out. Quick, efficient, and some idle chit chat. At Walmart you have sadness and misery that takes forever and still can't figure it out. Even worse when you can't understand what they are saying.

I also have to wonder sometimes why some cashiers think it's perfectly natural to bag a hot rotisserie chicken with frozen beef.

I'd put it more in the category of lack of common sense than lack of training or motivation.

What astounds me is that every place that hires you as a cashier always tells you that "you're the most important worker there because you make sure the customer leaves happy"... yet are the worst treated and usually least paid job while working there. Boggles my mind.

I prefer the self checkout line because at the local Walmart in my town, they have like 30 checkout lines, and probably another 8-10 self checkout. On a saturday afternoon, there will be maybe 6 of those 30 registers open with lines 10 people deep, carts full of groceries and clothes and whatnot. I just want a bottle of shampoo and a light bulb :( Gotta love those self checkout lanes. A lot of people seem intimidated by them so theyre always open. Odin.Godofgods

I'm aware, and I make a lot of NJ jokes anyway, that just adds to it. And Oregon.

KN was just desperate to be right, still didn't happen for him, and its not going to. It was amusing to watch him try tho. |
