What a great idea

  “15 items or less” lanes should charge extra for going over. 0-20 no charge, 21+ = $1 per extra item. That money goes towards whoever uses the register after you.

    Oh yes. It was great. People forced into distance. It’s all forgotten now.

  I remember my days as a cashier when a guy in his 50s came up to buy something and was just like “I don’t know how this works my wife does the shopping”. I just scanned his items and gave him the total. Once again he couldn’t understand.

  I had to give this grown man step by step instructions on making a purchase. Including how to use a card for payment.

  It was wild. Even in a world where his wife does the shopping has he never ran into a gas station for a snack or gone to lunch on his own?

    When you willfully reject responsibility, you don’t think clearly. Human capabilities like pattern recognition will be ignored.

  I’ve almost never felt this, same with other comments here saying people can’t handle self checkout. Here in Sweden, at least in my city, people behave like you’d expect normal functional adults to behave. The only people who can be an annoyance are groups of kids/teenagers, and it’s very much not all of them either.

    Sounds like sweden might have a higher average IQ amongst their population

  We need to also test your ability to spend money. I swear people at self checkout act like they have never used a credit/debit card in there life.

    But also at regular checkouts.

    You've just stood there motionless for the last 4 minutes, while someone else (potentially two people) scanned and bagged your purchases for you.

    How is it that JUST NOW is the time you've decided is right to rummage through your bag for your wallet/purse, or check your banking app on your phone to see if the account actually has money in it? What were you doing for the rest of the time that was so vitally important?

    I swear you can just about hear the birds flying around in their head sometimes.

      There’s one bird in their head that’s half alive just bouncing around like the DVD logo.

  i worked at a grocery store for a few years, you want to go after 7pm and all your wishes will come true

    I love to go as early as possible. There are only old people around me and everything is calm and chill.

    • hydroxycotton@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      God forbid you need to check out (only one checkout lane open bc it’s so early) right behind one of those old people as they take about 65 centuries to pull exact change out of their asses

  My partner has normalised spatial awareness, and no situational awareness. I do my best to herd her around for the good of mankind but I can only do so much

  Couldn’t think of a way to go out of business faster than having a competent-customers-only policy.

  Only if we build similar airports. I understand not everbody is a regular business traveler, but somehow the people in front of me always seem fascinated with the novel concept of flying and airport security, spending 10 minutes emptying the pockets and putting their stuff on the conveyor belt.

    Flying and grocery shopping are a bit different on the needs scale, don’t you think? Solid idea application though.

  I think it’s very neighborhood dependent.

  The worst places are in rich neighborhoods where all the bored middle managers act like queens and kings of the grocery store.

  Also separate airports and train stations without people blinded by holiday brain.

  Could we ban conversation between cart-holders? Two people shopping together, same cart same list, is fine. But anything beyond “Hi, nice to see you” between two carts clogs the aisles

  May I suggest a cart licence.

  No license…you get a fucken carry bag, get your shit together!

    Oh god yes. Get it away from my car. Why are you steering it with your elbows? Whos is this one abandoned diagonally in the middle of an aisle?
