Violators will be shot at least 10 times.
Assuming they actually work. The best ones I've used are those at Giant Eagle. The only things they sometimes have trouble with are Kool-Aid packets, which are probably just barely heavy enough to trigger the conveyor belt's scale.Originally posted by: Scouzer
I LOVE Self Checkout lanes! Best invention in retail EVER! I am infinitely more likely to shop at a store with self checkout lanes over one without. So much faster!
Yeah I like the idea of the self checkout but I can't stand how they are set up as if prison inmates are buying food. Stop telling me to put my apple in the bag (it probably is anyway), I'm not stealing freaking fruit. They have a kid watching the lanes anyway, why do the machines have to complain and request help every 2 seconds?
It's my understanding that the self checkout lanes were indeed a huge loss prevention nightmare and that Wal Mart in process of phasing them out. My local "Super Walmart" has completely removed them and replaced them with checkout lanes. Insted of there being 5 open "manned" lanes, 2 express lanes, and 8 self check ones, it's now 10 "manned" lanes and 5 express ones. I can actually get through faster without the self check.
