Not only do I not work here, I wish to spend as little time here as possible.

So I’ll hand the scanning and bagging task to someone who has been doing it every day for years and can get that done quickly, in the lane where they provide enough table space to actually work, two people to do the two jobs of scanning and bagging… and all that without the extra steps of weighing every individual item, stopping for assistance if you look at it funny, and stopping to upsell you on the fucking loyalty program.

Grocery pickup > normal checkout > self checkout.

They aren't nearly as motivated to go as fast as I am, and they can only bag one person at a time and have lines, while usually there are 4-6 machines wide open for me to jump onto immediately.

I fucking hate going to the grocery store though.

EDIT: also lonely old people will stop and chit chat sometimes slowing shit even more.

I didn’t realize this was such a contentious subject.

When this first became a big thing like 15 years ago, I feel like most people hated them. Then it becomes normalized, society shifts.

I'm introverted, I liked them immediately.
