EXACTLY...in other news sales of bananas have skyrocketed since people were forced to check themselves out with these kiosks😁

Exactly. It’s about making the customers do the work.

Not really. Most of the places I’ve been to that have self checkout, simply repurposed these workers, and even hired more. You see, the real labor needed is fulfillment. Instead of standing all day scanning items, employees actually get to walk around, pulling items off shelves that people ordered for pick up. Where I live, most big box stores that have added self checkout in the last few years are STILL hiring. There is work to be had. People who pick a human cashier simply on the grounds that they believe they are providing someone a job, tend to also be the same people who refuse to put products back, refold, or hang up merchandise because they believe the very same, they’re providing work for someone who needs it, when the reality is that they already had a billion other things they needed to be doing rather than picking up after sloppy people.

Correct. And what happened to 20 or less isles? Nobody ever enforced it because the lack of professionalism just trickled down to to cashiers…

@@c5cpe as a former cashier who worked at those 10 items or less registers, dealing with people in general was a constant fear, so most of us kept our mouths shut just to avoid dealing with “Karens.” But I will never forget the time when someone was upset that I didn’t say anything to the customer with 11 items in the 10 or less aisle. She was so upset that not only did the customer not enforce the rule, but that I didn’t either. But what made this person so memorable was that she had three separate transactions, each 10 items or less. Sure, she might’ve had 3 different forms of payment, or it was for three different people, but the fact remains, she was complaining about someone having 11, when she had almost 30, but it was somehow ok for her, since each transaction was under 10. Of course, how do you talk to someone like that? With what little the company paid me, was it worth getting into an argument over? So I continued to keep quiet. I am glad those lanes were replaced with self checkout. They should have never been that close to the door because people by nature walk to the closest without reading signs, or even noticing that the cashiers light is off altogether.

That's the same way this country has been stolen

That is not a good and reasonable reason. Those individuals are just thieves anyway, whether it is an expensive city or not. Thieves do not need any reason to steal they are just shameless thieves. They are too ignorant and lazy to work, so the only alternative is STEALING

But these people get government assistance by having bunch of kids which pays for food.

Or a conscience either!

They don't have that kind of brain. They lack the ability to reasons that other people are working so hard to pay for what they need.

What

This will be the future. Select the items from a computer screen, pay and then your items will be available to pick up.

I wonder if you realize how right you are. Maybe not the whole store, but definitely the high priced/small items. If you want a fifth of vodka for $28 you purchase it from a vending machine. Condoms? Vending machine. Makeup? Perfect for a vending machine. Real vanilla extract? Please put that in a vending machine. Tampons are a natural fit, so to speak. Put the top 20% of most stolen items behind a pay wall instead of behind a key.

@@intheshell35ify The stores will tell the public, this will say you time from having to walk around the store.

Stop electing people that remove punishment for minor crimes. Lifting a pack of cookies isn't the issue, making theft of up to $990 a misdemeanor is the issue.

It's Progressive lunacy and those who mindlessly vote for it, completely predictable.

Chicagos is not that dangerous , the crimes are more localized. San Fran on the otherhand, cant go anywhere without homeless, thieves drug addicts etc. Why pay all that money just to have that in your area and they get a slap on the wrist

Exactly right. Self checkout eliminates the need for cashiers.

Agree and there blaming self checkout 🙄🙄🙄

Until the armed marauders are out on the streets targeting delivery vehicles and stealing from that point in the supply chain.

@@peachmango5347 They already do that have you not seen all the usps robberies at gunpoint?

and the usual suspects will be picking them up from your front door. Thanks all law abiding citizens for the free stuff.

Fine with me, I do all my buying on line anyway

Yes I agree

Yes, that will be a good solution. We can also do it like Costco where you have to become a member to shop in the store. We will have them ID and on the camera every time they come in to shop.

Why didn’t you report it immediately?

@@mukbangmejia never get involved in ghetto drama.

@@mukbangmejia People are afraid of being labeled "Karens", or worse "racist". Moreover, sometimes thieves seek revenge on those who "snitch" on them.

Because it's not my job as the customer to report it to the business. It is not my job to get involved. Stay out of other people's business, they'll always get their karma anyway.

No one is saying go up to the thieves, but it certainly wouldn't hurt for you to be more community oriented and report it to a manager, or someone who works there. It takes a villiage sticking together to make it work!

It was and still is a lot of idiots.

Batman doesn’t usually stop petty shoplifters.

Whats Vallejo spidermans home

Back when I worked at Kroger, our security (off duty cops) would chase and tackle shoplifters. It was kind of funny to watch. 😎

Yup those guards aren't going to blow a slightly above minimum wage gig getting into a confrontation with someone stealing. Even if they do apprehend someone, the negative backlash from the activists would force the security company to fire the guard to take the heat off them. This happens a lot, companies are weak and bow to pressure of radical activists and chuck the low wage schmuck overboard. This is why that guard didn't want to do anything when that old man complained, he wanted to keep his cushy job chatting with the other guard while playing security theatre.

And cost everyone more than the item they stole. Store have insurance for los prevention.

@@thegazetteyt...who is paying for the "insurance"? the cost is passed down to consumers.

omg... nowadays, stealing is approved. Democrat politicians tell folks it is ok to steal. Something is up with these Democrats. They turn this country up-side-down.

@@stephenc2481 Cost for businesses is always passed down to customers. That's nothing new. And it's not "insurance". These companies have loss prevention built policies into their infrastructure, so they don't lose anything. They just want double the money.

t sad people so dumb they get to hobo level in Sf.. How about don't walk into the zone of death

Great, then the cycle will continue.

Exactly, my local food 4 less just installed self checkout and they have express and half regular. 2 Targets near me also have put signs that say self checkout 10 items are less.

@@HobbyOrganist only to keep theft at bay. That's the deterrent. For the people who just stop it'll give a better experience because who wants to witness someone come in an walk out with half the store.

Either way it’ll stop em.

Actually, switching to all online pickup is a great idea. It could lower overhead costs, reduce space which reduces rent, reduce theft, and reduce labor hours.

😂 skip going to the store altogether and only online delivery

Soon the employees will be the ones doing all the shopping and the customers will just come and pick up their orders at the gate. It will at least add more jobs I guess. In Walmart over here they already doing this, they still had regular shoppers but they also had their employees shopping in the store for drivers to come pick up the order and deliver to the customer or the customer could choose to come pick-up the order themselves.

That way you have to pay for your items.

@@VOAN eventually you can replace employees with a robot arm that just grabs stuff from the shelves. You don't need as many janitors since you won't have messy people in the store.

This is how people get hurt/ killed sticking their nose in business that has nothing to do with them. The companies will NOT support them if something seriosuly happens to them, plus the companies are insured, so why would anyone risk putting themselves in danger???

@seanr9656- It is not good to talk about yourself like that. Thoughts and prayers. 😊

"Replacing" a job is how we became prosperous, it's called productivity and makes all other jobs more valuable. The problem here is legalizing theft, nothing more or less, entirely predictable.

Preach it brother. Reminds me of losing my virginity...in, out, done.

I'm glad 😊 I hate using self checkout feels like I'm an employee not a Customer.

The key word is "options." Too many places force you to do self checkout whether you want it or not. Btw, how many people do you think handled your items even before they were put on the shelf for you to buy?

Only for few items I prefer self checkout if not I prefer cashiers im not saving the company money without not cheaper grocery, at least self service gas stations are cheaper than the non self-service in my country, although here we don’t have the massive adoption of self checkout cashiers that the USA apparently has

Everyone who buys a used item online or at a price too good to be true is also guilty of shoplifting in my opinion. If there were no way to liquidate stolen goods there would be far less shoplifting. Years ago all merchandise was behind the counter and you had to wait for a clerk to fill your order. We might need to do that again

The uk is a mini usa I’m saying it doesn’t happen in other countries but I think the rate is a lot lower although because of demographic changes happening we never know, guess people want to go live like in the 70-90s where high criminally was a daily acurency, in my country fight would broke out between different villages they were menaces,high drug use in open sight, stabbing ect

Nothing will remain the same. Change is forever. Change is the way of humans.

No the SAD part is living in USA with a messed up system. 😂

We are looking at our future and I guarantee no one is laughing.

This is nothing to laugh about, no matter where it happens.

Please note you are not up to date. Shoplifting is a huge problem in London (England UK) and no doubt many other cities and places. It is growing exponentially worse all the time. So, California is not alone.
