Can we also make people who still pay for things at a store with a check go to the bad one? It was before the pan, but I couldn't believe what I was seeing when a lady pulled out her checkbook in front of me at the checkout line. Gtf outta here.

We need to also test your ability to spend money. I swear people at self checkout act like they have never used a credit/debit card in there life.

i worked at a grocery store for a few years, you want to go after 7pm and all your wishes will come true

I know the point of this thread is "ugh, people, man" and it's not really meant to be engaged with deeper than that, but this is a really bad idea. It would be used to justify racism and ableism and would be a really unpleasant place to be in, too. Karen city, with no one to speak out about it.

Imagine that spike of anxiety at the check-out where you feel rushed because you're at the front of the line, but instead of it being mostly in your head it's now a real thing with real consequences. That's my nightmare

They would go out of business immediately. Not enough customers.

I miss social distancing

I've almost never felt this, same with other comments here saying people can't handle self checkout. Here in Sweden, at least in my city, people behave like you'd expect normal functional adults to behave. The only people who can be an annoyance are groups of kids/teenagers, and it's very much not all of them either.

My partner has normalised spatial awareness, and no situational awareness. I do my best to herd her around for the good of mankind but I can only do so much

😂🫣 I feel attacked (neurodivergent)

That + worked any amount of customer service tbh

Skiddly woop wopp

Do you want elitist grocery stores in LA? Because that's how you get elitist grocery stores in LA.

A few weeks ago I was at the store picking up a few things for my sick kid. The very first aisle I go to as I'm trying to leave it a lady pulls into the aisle to look at whatever was on the end cap and puts her cart right in the middle of the aisle so I can't get through with my cart. She saw me, we made eye contact for a second and I moved to the right of the aisle. I get to the end and she's just standing there, not even looking at stuff just looking at me waiting for her to move. After about 20 seconds I can't believe I have to say anything so I just go "excuse me" and she scoffs and says "you're fine". Another 10 seconds and I have to say it again, "excuse me I'm trying to get through" and I don't know what was going through her head but she started freaking out, "go ahead and get through then I don't know why you're standing there". So I do just that, I used my cart to push hers out of the way (very intentionally just enough to get through) and she lost it. I just proceeded on my way but even after I turned down the next asile I needed something from she was still yelling. This was like 10:30 at night, the store was almost empty so there was plently of room.

This was in an expensive grocery store in a pretty wealthy area. In contrast on my way home I stopped at the poppy shop around the corner because they have a drink I like for a good deal and there was someone who looked like they were emptying their pockets by the trash can but checking out a couple receipts before throwing them away who was blocking the door, I said excuse me when I was a few steps away and he apologized, told me to have a great night and held the door open for me.

I can place an order from home, drive to the store and they'll set the groceries in my trunk not even expecting a tip.

If I spend 10% more, they'll bring it to my door. We kinda did that already in the US
