    I have witnessed far to many people with full carts que into the self check out, and than they get frustrated when every other thing they scan throws a flag.

    Bitch, SCO is for 10 items or less!

      Is it really? I’ve never seen such a sign in my corner of the US. Often there’s only one human operated checkout.

        The ‘let the kid touch the hot stove’ approach.

        It worked on me, but I fear other people might nurse their burns and pray that next time things will be different.My experience is different. It’s a dense urban grocer. Now that you mention it, I’ve been to Target in the suburbs where SCO was like thunder dome. A little more room for bagging, but not much. I feel so bad for the one team member dashing around checking IDs and explaining why coupons from a decade ago no longer work.

        My location (different grocer ) may be privileged, because, even when it’s slow, there are two full service registers. I remember how gross it felt watching a checker at Walmart in 02 also bag the groceries because baggers didn’t exist any more.
