I am talking about the self-checkouts that are becoming popular at grocery stores, Wal-Mart, Target and the like. Do you use the self checkouts or are you like me and despise them? I mean...I don't get paid to scan and bag my own stuff so why should I do all the work?

well believe me !!..if I could get somebody to do it for me..lol... I would.. ... . but to answer your question seriously...noooo... they came to Canada a few years ago.. Corporation said something about not enough labor.... what a crock..grrr... .. so no I don't use them.... what's next have me .. stock the shelves.. .. deliver the merchandise to the store for them...... it's just their way of... making even more profit with less cost..... I'm all for profit but you need to share.

I use'em every chance I get. There's seldom a line and I'm an independent cuss on the best of days. I can find things more productive to do than stand in lines.

I love the self check out at grocery stores. Everything is 99 cents.

Yep. I love self checkout. I minimize my contact with people as much as possible.

I used to until I tried to buy 2 potatoes once and made the whole grocery store come to a stand still!

I've used both. But I am aware that all those self check out lanes requiring one employee monitor are taking jobs away from people. So for that reason alone I don't care for them. Okay, there is a second reason... I lose the opportunity to be clever when a lady says, "I can check you out over her sir" and I go to her lane, stand up straight, smile, and say, "So, what do you think?"
