Big fan of the self-checkout at the grocery store. And seeing this is Germany, 9 out of 10 shoppers would rather stand in the queue. Never a lineup at the self-check!

Its a trap though. If they had employees at all the lanes there wouldn’t be a lineup either. Our store has about 16 lanes and maybe 10 self checkout, the lanes are all closed except 2, so you ate forced to wait or self checkout. They are training you yo do your own labour for free.

Grab a scanner, scan while picking up items, pay and leave store.
It’s barely any extra “labor” and no need for useless jobs.

You are doing the useless job for free though. At our store items don’t scan so you have to wait while one person tries to help 10 people so it ends up taking longer that going through a checkout.

According to you logic, I shouldn’t even go to the store.
Why am I doing free labor when someone can pick it up and deliver it for me?

Stuff would he cheaper if we get rid of cashiers. So I would actually be earning money.
Maybe stores should introduce a self scan discount.

Otherwise you pay for it with higher prices.

Ikea does this, you just need the app, no physical scanner. Super convenient.
