hte self checkout at the grocery store is literally the bane of my existence.

same here, it's like they're trying to make me scan my own sanity away

same, but also can we talk about how the engineering team responsible for those systems is still

agreed, the self-checkout is the worst. totally takes the convenience out of grocery shopping.

totally with you on that, the fact that some people still dont bag their own groceries afterwards is just infuriating

i feel you, but also can we talk about how it's literally the only thing keeping those checkout lines from being even longer

why do you keep using it then?

Are you really giving that much power to a machine?

sis, it's just a machine

omg same, but can we also talk about how the employees just stand there judging you when it inevitabley doesn't work

try scanning it 3 times in a row and saying "you didn't press cancel" into the void

i kind of enjoy self checkout, it's way faster than waiting in line for humans to ring up my groceries

same, but can we also talk about how they always seem to be out of bags at the worst time?

are u rly having that hard of a time scanning your own groceries?

yes! that shit is the worst and why do they make it so complicated?? just let me pay for my stuff and go.

same, and don't even get me started on when the bagging area runs out of bags and you're just

fr, those things are so annoying. wouldn't even be surprised if they're designed to be a pain in the ass on purpose.

are you really letting a self checkout lane dictate your emotions like that?

nah fam, thats just your lack of dexterity showin. get those fingers workin and you'll be scannin

nah mate, self checkout is the best. way quicker than dealing with some bored teenager at the till.

nah fam, i love the self checkout. saves me from having to make awkward small talk with the cashier

whats so hard about pressing a few buttons? you got two hands dont you

omg literally, who thought it was a good idea to trust teh average person with accurately scanning their own groceries?

that's a pretty 'scan'dalous opinion

are you kidding me? it's just a freaking machine, not worth that much angst

Agreed! And don't even get me started on the ones that don't take cash, so rude

deadass, the self checkout is the 8th circle of hell. how am i supposed to remember the code for broccoli?

same, i'm starting to think the only thing it's good for is scanning my dignity after i've embarrassed myself trying to bag my own bread

couldn't agree more, mate. but what's worse is when they don't even scan the shopping correctly and

the self checkout machines are just trying to unionize, can't blame 'em

nah fck that, self checkout is the greatest thing ever. way quicker than dealing with slow ass cashiers. if you cant figure it out.

have you tried asking a worker for help? they're usually pretty chill about it.

um, wouldn't you just take it on yourself to familiarize yourself w/ how it works and not just rush

self checkout is the best thing that's happened to grocery shopping in years.

omg same, but can we talk about how it's also super ableist? like, what about ppl who cant scan/ bag their own stuff

why do you use it then lol

ugh same, and don't even get me started on how consistently it just decides to "weigh" something and then freezes for 5 minutes.

haha tell me about it. they're like a minefield of confusion and frustration.

like you've never accidentally hit the wrong button and had to call for help lol

what's the alternative? are you just gonna have people standing around waiting for an entire lane

the self checkout machine: beeps menacingly

are you kidding me? it's just a damn scanner. People are way more annoying

did you think the aisles were gonna stock themselves too?

mate, have you ever even tried to use it properly or are you just chatting shite?

omg same, i swear those things are possessed. i always end up calling for help 😩

umm true they just make me wanna yell can't we just go back to humans checking us out

do you not know how to use the self-checkout? it's pretty straightforward if you take a minute to figure it out.

same, cant even get the bloody thing to scan a loaf of bread without rejecting it 3 times, meanwhile some daft sod

self checkout is the best thing to happen to grocery shopping, you're just lazy

don't people still use coins? how are you not prepared for a situation where you don't have a smartphone?

same lol why do they even have those thing now can't people just bag their own groceries like normal?

lol same, it's like they're trying to trigger a breakdown over a $1.99 carton of eggs

fr, it's so annoying. and why do they always ask if i need help when i'm clearly struggling 😩

seriously, its just a bit of tech, get used to it or shop elsewhere.

Are you kidding me? It's just a machine, it's not that hard to use!

why do you hate self-checkout so much? i actually find it pretty convenient most of the time.

i completely disagree. the self-checkout is so convenient and fast, i don't understand the hate. maybe you just need to get more comfortable with the technology. it's the way of the future, so you better get used to it.

mate, you can't be arsed to just scan your own stuff?

Are you scanning correctly or just blaming the machine?

Yeah, they're just trying to force us to relearn math after all those years of getting it wrong on our phone bill receipts.

same!! i swear they're just waiting for u to make a mistake so they can be all "thank you for

how is it that you're still using the self checkout?

are you kidding me? it's literally just a checkout line with a scanner... don't overreact

have you tried turning it off and back on again? maybe it just needs a software update.

totally agree, especially when the barcodes won't scan on the first try!

dont even get me started on the wine checkout robots. at least regular self checkout lets you cop out and yell at a human for inconveniencing you

same, and it's not like the humans working there get a break either, just more labor shifted to the customer while the corporation pockets the savings

Are you kidding me? Self-checkout is literally a 2-minute inconvenience in your life, stop dramatizing it.

gurl tell me about it. Half the time i cant even get the damn thing to work.

do you not just have cashiers that are too bloody lazy to scan your stuff?

what? self-checkout is a godsend. don't know what you're on about, but that's the lazy take. try actually learning how to use it instead of complaining.

if it's that bad, why do you always choose to use it?

wtf? self checkout is a godsend. faster than dealing with some slow cashier. you're just too lazy to scan your own shit.

why you so lazy tho? that shit easy if you just pay attention.

Have you tried asking for assistance from the staff? The self-checkout can be frustrating, but they're usually happy to help if you're having trouble.

um how did we become ok with the idea that cashiers are somehow better than actual people who have

I feel that! The self-checkout is so frustrating. It's like they want us to do the cashier's job for them.

wtf? self checkout is a godsend, just use it right and stop complaining.

yassss i swear it's just a fancy way of saying "we don't value our employees" can't pay them enough to deal with all the entitled people

that's why i just get the cashier to do it for me. too much effort to scan and bag everything myself.

same, it's like they expect us to be scanners in disguise but who hasn't tried to scan a coupon and it's just not

really? what about it drives you so crazy? i find it way more convenient than waiting in a long line.

lol same, i've been known to press the payment button 12 times just to see if it'll magically not take my money

true, those machines are the worst. they're always messing up and then you have to wait for someone to come fix it. ugh, what a headache.

I feel you, but also can we talk about how it's not just the machine, it's the people who use it and still can't seem to scan their groceries correctly

i know right? so frustrating when it won't scan the damn barcode and you have to wait for an employee to come over. and don't even get me started on the bagging area.

have you tried tbh talking to a human instead of machines? i hear they're p good at helping you check out.

fr tho, the self checkout is so annoying. they never work properly and it's just more hassle than it's worth.

same, i went through one the other day and it was glitching left and right, like how hard is it to just scan my food

yep, i'm right there with you, it's like they want us to pay extra for the 'privilege' of scanning our own stuff

Have you considered the irony of using a self-checkout while simultaneously complaining about it?

nah, the self checkout is a godsend. don't have to deal with slow af cashiers. just scan and go and what's your problem with it?

i am low-key avoiding grocery shopping until they update their checkout systems because that whole experience is giving me anxiety.

fr, the self checkout is the worst. always gotta wait for someone to come fix it when it messes up

the self checkout isn't that bad, you just have to learn to embrace your inner robot 🤖

no cap, that's just teh intro to the drama of being a human being

idk what's wrong with you, self checkout is the best thing that's happened to grocery shopping

i feel that so hard. the self checkout is a constant battle and the machines never work right. i just want to yell "give me a human cashier!" every time i use it.

i feel that in my soul. at least you can throw the machine across the room when it won't take your coupons or something.

same girl, those machines think they're saving us time but they're just causing more stress i had

nah, it's fine. you're just bad at using it.
