They also don't schedule enough employees to keep the lines running quickly, they only have 2-3 lanes open most of the time when it's busy as having another line is 2x $13-15 an hour for a bagger and a cashier. This gets people to either go to self checkout or wait forever. Naturally most people go through self checkout, which they'll probably use as an excuse to make more self checkouts.
(talking about the store I work at specifically, which isn't a Walmart, but I assume Walmart does the same)
I don’t think I’ve seen a bagger in a decade, maybe it’s a regional thing?
Krogers still have baggers.
trader joes, cashier does it too
I REFUSE to put how many bags I took if I have to self checkout. I also buy less. in many states now there is a bag fee. if I have to scan and bag my own shit, you're eating that cost and for not paying an extra employee to be there to help. I also don't frequent you as often.
Isn't the bag fee usually a tax though? By not paying it you're not screwing the store, you're screwing whoever would get that tax (e.g. infrastructure, aid programs, etc)
This might actually do something, if enough people are committed to it.
Why would you need someone to bag your shit, lol?
That is nonexistent in my country except in the single Costco in the entire country and everyone feels pretty uncomfortable about it.
"go to self checkout or wait forever."
On the unfortunate days I have to stop at the store when myself and everyone else are getting off of work, I've seen the lines at self checkout as long or longer than the registers.
I'm use a self checkout if 1) there are empty checkouts and 2) I only have enough items that I can carry. Sure - then I'm getting in and out. But if I'm pushing a cart, I'm going to a cashier.
I usually see lines at the self checkouts too, and they move a lot slower.
