Is It Only Me?
Is it only me, or do those self serve checkout kiosk that seem to be popping up everywhere annoy anyone else? I’ve had it with them! It normally takes me much longer to check out with one of those than it does with a cashier!
Plus, they don’t give us a discount for checking ourself out and bagging our own groceries! Call me old fashioned, but when I go grocery shopping I want to be checked out by a person who is bagging my groceries also while I’m organizing my wallet and writing a check out for the amount.
I know why these companies are doing it, so they can do away with Cashiers. These stores see their Cashiers as disposable when they should be looking at them as company reps. I can remember many times that I seeked out a certain Cashier because I knew they were friendly and knowledgeable. I can also remember a few times that I wouldn’t go back to a certain store because of rude Cashiers.
I’ve stopped going to most stores that use those self serve checkout Kiosk. Two stores that come to mind in my area are Krogers (after a certain time in the evenings) and Home Depot. I’m sorry, but if I had wanted to check my self out, I’d applied for a freakin’ job! It would be one thing if they passed the savings that came with eliminating a persons job to the consumers, but they don’t. So I choose to shop where there is a Cashier that can check me out and bag my grocieries!
Maybe we need to start a list of stores that do that!
