Unless you've been a checkout person you have no comprehension how badly they are treated by customers. I've been there done that and been a Customer Service Manager for Walmart so I know from where I speak. Foul language, throwing things at cashiers all of this and more. All cashiers go thru extensive training and when put on the floor are shadowed by a mentor for several days.

Some of the cashiers are gross. Picking their noses, butts and crotches. Sneezing on their hands and touching items, bags and change. I'm a self checkout user. If you double scan you go back and delete. I would rather use one than a clerk. It's my preference.

Fantastic bring full service back. Maybe you can bring back the cashier packing bags again. I hate the self serve. There is always a problem with them and we have all seen theft happening at the self serve. So bring full service back , pack the bags and don’t raise the prices because of full service. Prices never went down with self checkout and the money saved on preventing theft should actually go back to the customers.

You'll pay more. I love Publix, and they have lovely cashiers and nice baggers. But it's an expensive store. If you are willing to pay more just to have the extras, then do it. I go there just as a break from Walmart, which I cannot stand. It's a zoo. But prices are lower, in general, and they do home delivery for a fee. I can afford to pay more, but common sense tells me that for the extra money, it's not worth it sometimes. I go to Publix to treat myself, and I almost always am sorry when I look at my receipt. But nicer stores carry nicer stuff, and they generally treat you better.

Theft requires intent. Forgetting to scan your apples isn’t enough proof. Also Walmart waits for you to accumulate felony levels of theft before doing anything. Gonna be harder to argue against intent if you’ve stolen thousands of dollars of items over months. Also they can’t even check you. You can just leave. They have no warrant, and once you’ve paid the items are yours. Same as they can’t ask to see a receipt for your shoes or phone, when they ask to see a receipt for *YOUR* groceries you already paid for, you can just keep walking.

I agree with the idea of all your items being coded in way a computer can actually recognize and the calculate everything in your cart (including discounts or offers) .. all just before the entrance/exit door .. then you pay with either cash or card .. and if the alarm goes off it means you didn't go through the automated system .. but they would need to make sure the alarm isn't also just going off for no reason.. other than that it eliminates the idea of the customer feeling like the untrained unhired employee.. when all they wanna do is shop,pay & gtfo of there.

HALLELUJAH! It’s about time, and please let your hirees know not to complain out loud where customers can here their complaints when checking out, at least it’s a job. I miss standing in a long line and having enough time to converse with others in line, but l hate bagging my groceries. Can we also get back the friendly smiles from some of the cashiers? You know all Walmart cashiers do not smile.

The Walmart on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston, SC replaced the self-checkouts a few weeks ago. The lines ae now longer. The atmosphere in the store has changed drastically. I am considering going to PUBLIC to do my shopping. It may be a little further but the PUBLIC stores are carpeted and carry items not available at Walmart. They have lines for checkout that you have to have certain Walmart cards to use certain checkouts. If you have cash too bad. So long Walmart I'm on my way to PUBLIC stores.

The pre installed security tags need to be swiped over the deactivation pad. And legally you can’t be stopped if the alarm goes off. To stop someone the store has to see selection of the item. So it makes sense for the store to make sure everything is scanned

There should be a line for at least 30 items or more, to have the entitlement of having someone bag their groceries or items for them. Also, there should be at least two or more line ups that have a cashier, that only takes 10 items or less, but you'd have to bag your own items, but no groceries.

Self check out for me....I find some cashiers are so rude and seem as if they don't want to be on their jobs, and they just take it out on the customers on some days. I also get a chance to see the prices that are checked in, and not have a cashier beeping so quickly. When on odd occasion I see a price that does not corresponds with the posted price and I ask for a recheck; I get an attitude as if I just bothered them.

@lynns3868 11 ай бұрын

The irritating part is you always seem to be waiting because no one knows how to use them and doesn't care how long they are taking. It is also irritating to have to get someone, that just happens to always be too busy to help you, when you do certain things like cancel something you accidently scanned. I'm also paying a lot to this company, I don't want to now have to do the work for the company. We pay you enough to have someone else do this work for me. Great video!

I myself prefer to have self check for those who have less than 10-20 items (or those that want to bag regardless of the amount; whichever is deemed fit) and still have cashiers too when you have a full cart of stuff. For myself, I use the cart to walk because of my back. I can’t stand very long. Using self check literally causes me so much pain I’m in tears. I use curbside or delivery most of the time, but when I do last minute shopping I really dread self check because of the pain. Not to mention by the time I’m home, I’m in so much pain I often leave non-perishables in the car because I’m in so much pain I have trouble carrying it. Please bring it back for those who need to go inside, but need help bagging.
