All self checkouts at store?

Ours haven't. I feel badly for the cashiers and baggers who have lost their jobs. Usually, on principal, I go thru the line with the cashier. Last time I did, though, she repeatedly had to fix her mask from slipping below her nose. I'll probably be using self check out for awhile.

Ours tried a while back, but it was so problem-riddled that store staff were constantly having to come fix things. So now it’s back to cashiers.

Our stores all have plexiglass walls for cashiers so we are all protected. My pet peeve with self checkout is when you scan an item and it says please wait for attendant. Why? I don't have a problem and the item scanned I can see it there on the screen. And she's busy and doesn't look at you and oh my gosh it does it again 2 items later as she walks away!

Yes I'd feel bad for the permanent jobs lost too. We have an some new jobs I see like door counters.

Our Walmart has a lot of self checkout lines and I love it! When they first started a few self checkout lane years ago there were always problems, so many people avoided them. But our Walmart would have about 35 lanes and only 5 open. I hated to shop at Walmart. But with the new self checkout lanes (we have about 25?), they work so well, and I never have to wait in line anymore. I love it! They have had them for about 2 yrs. and still have about 5 lanes with cashiers.

Our grocery store has 4 self checkout lanes, for small orders.

Mine added a bank, but it's possible it was part of a plan pre-pandemic.

A tip I learned: there should be some colored lights around the scale/scanner, red and green. After you scan something, they will blink a bit, trying to detect it in the bagging area.

Don't remove anything while they are blinking or flashing. Wait until they are solid, then you can remove something from the bagging area.

I hate them. My grocery store added a bunch more of them.

My store added 4, maybe 6 in the last year, but there's still at least a dozen normal checkout lanes. I shop once a week and my cart is full, so no I don't want to scan & bag my own groceries. I have no problem helping to bag my groceries (because then I group things as I want them to be...and I know not to place the gallons of milk on top of the bag with the eggs or bread...). However, I have yet to see a set up that would work for the amount of groceries I have each week. I don't mind the self check outs if I only have a couple of items.

Wegman's now has an app where you scan all your groceries as you add them to your cart/bags. Then you go to a special checkout, open the app ect and pay...So easy!! I am sure there are some assholes who won't scan something and steal it.

I love self checkout. Even better now that most stores have several, and ONE line that feeds to all of them.

I hate self checkout. I work all day, go to the store, do my shopping and then need to scan and bag my items. Why would I like that 

I too have heard Walmart is planning to go all self-checkout. Several of our Super Walmarts have been converted to about 2/3rd self-checkout stations. Usually they only have 2-3 regular lanes open, so it is kind of forcing you to do the self-checkout or stand in line another 45 minutes. I feel for the elderly or disabled though as sometimes getting heavier items in and out of the cart isn't the easiest thing to do. My gripe about them is the space. You have a cart load, and no place to put the scanned items as the bagging area only allows space for a couple of bags. Also, the area is not wide enough to have the cart beside you, and you must have it behind you and that is just a pain in the butt having to turn around each time and then since the cart is lengthwise, it is difficult to reach items in the cart.

I too, don't love self checkout at the grocery store. I always have issues with the vegetables and trying to get them to scan right. They never have the right info on the veg. I always need the attendant to fix something. I'd rather check out with a cashier. My stores all have plexiglass walls and the cashiers either have on masks or face shields so I feel comfortable.

I prefer self checkout, so I can put the groceries in the bags how I want.

Frozen items together.
Fridge items together.
Milk in it's own bag.
Liquid soaps(dish soap, laundry soap) in it's own bag.
No more than three heavy items(can goods) per bag.

I got tired of using the regular checkstand, and repeatedly having to ask for common sense things to happen or not happen....
Please do not put 8+ canned goods in the same bag. 
Please do not put milk(that tend to have condensation/wetness on the outside of the bottle) in with boxed items.
Please do not put the "hot and ready" roast chicken and potato wedges in with frozen items.

And...
Self check is one line, next in line goes to next empty self check spot.
 
Regular checkstands have multiple lines, so it's luck of the draw who you get behind in line.
I, of course, always seem to end up behind the person who is not prepared and ready >> meaning can't find their debit or credit card in the 18 pockets and nooks & crannies, different wallets/smaller bags, within the confines of their purse....which they search while having a conversation on their phone, while they make a side-comment to the cashier "that they just used it day before yesterday"....while wrangling their toddler who is trying to climb out of the cart, while their tween is whining and begging incessantly for a pack of gum.

I love self check!
