and we can buy booze through our one, although it has to be signed off by a store clerk,
The Shop
Also from my time at Kroger, running the u-scan. U-scan is much slower. The benefit is it cuts down lines and smooths out the eb and flow of people. 1 cashier can handle 6 customers at once. Store is only paying 1 person when nobody is in line, but has the capacity for 6 people to walk up at one time and nobody stand in a line.
When I'd run a register I could scan over 30 items a minutes. IIRC corporate required us to maintain 20 or 25 a minute. U-scan customers did ~5 per minute
let’s take more jobs away.
Kinda like gas stations used to be (i'm old) pull in tell the guy what you want he fills er up checks the oil and washes the window/ while you sit comfortably in your car.
Now you have to do it yourself even tn the rain and cold and no discount there either.
I'm not a big fan of paying full price to someone then having to do the work myself.
Like calling tech support for a computer issue the tech is getting paid i'm paying for the service but it's me who has to sit at the computer and do all the actual work yet no compensation for my time while the tech goes fishing for the fix try this try that etc...
I thought technology was supposed to make our lives easier and more leisurely at least that was what was advertised.
what does piss me off is when people who can't use them, try to use them. Or there are two open and 40 people in line. And one other register.
And also, why are some closed? Open them all up damn. If its keeping your operating costs low do it.
I would take wood, clay, bondo etc. and make a pattern of a piece someone wanted.
Now all that is replaced by CNC machining. Draw it up, press go....
Yet I'm still employed.
Store clerk positions will be around for the foreseeable future, but they aren't intended to be the bread winner occupation.
This is what's irritating about the mandatory $15.00/hr. deal. If you are worth 8, you should get 8.
Go learn something if you want more.
Either you are for progress or you aren't.
Pit Row
Now they are doing the very same thing in retail. Slowly herd the sheeple over the self-serve lane, get 'em acclimated to doing it themselves, and eventually they will take away more human services and charge you the same damn price (or more) and they pocket the difference while WE do the work.
Fuck 'em, Im not gonna play along.
And the
I fucking HATE self checkout and refuse to use it. I didn’t come to the grocery store to bag my own shit and wait for the moderator lady to come and put her passcode in so I can scan more. Fucking fucking hate it
Don’t get me started on the stickers they use for non-bagged items and the attendant/vulture at the exit.
Worth noting I stood at a podium with a desktop computer so I could clear errors before the annoying computer voice even said a thing to you. Average person is an idiot, good luck remembering your produce codes. Much less to take your beer belly off the scale before weighing said produce. Next time you're at the grocery store watch how effing slow most them people move.
The first time I decided to try one at a Home Depot, I got behind a younger guy with a few items.
I figured, "This will be quicker".
About a minute in, and at least 7-8 "FUCK's" from him, I went and got in the cashier line.
I don't know what it was doing to him, but he was less than pleased.
What will happen next is that they will slowly eliminate having a checker at all. The luddites will then have to use the selfie. Then it will be the same as waiting in the checker line only worse. Much worse. colintrax knows what he is talking about. I have seen how slow people are too. It's painful.
