I refuse to use them as a union worker, when I'm told to use the self checkout as I'm in line for the only cashier I just refuse. I'm doing it for you kids

But also, fuck off walmart

I was once mistaken for an employee somewhere and my sleep deprivated response was to say "I am wearing pants so clearly I dont work here." I have no fucken clue what that means but I think it was a threat.

Boomer uncle literally drives his electric bill payment to the local office to pay it when they have a perfectly fine online portal.

Same exact response 'that's someone's job' like the employee actually has a say.

I feel like most memos in Walmart break rooms are this kind of fodder for shitposting material

Corporate gaslighting be like:

I don't get it. Why would you ask a customer if they want to use the self checkout lane?

Never understood that argument. I want to be in and out as quickly as possible. Self checkout makes that happen.

Reading the comments, do people not like self checkout? Is it another one of these American things, that baffle the rest of the world? Like grocery baggers. I'm European, living in Poland and Denmark and if given the choice, I will always pick the store with self checkout. It's simply faster. Only old people don't use self check out, not because of boomer ideology, but because they need the cashier's help.

This says much about respect and social competence in this society when the first instinct is to mock and abuse someone with different priorities than yours.

I'd rather check myself out than deal with other idiots. It's a win for my sanity.

I personally prefer to use the self-checkout lane because I want my groceries bagged in a specific way (raw meat in one bag, cans/bottles in another, etc.). It's infuriating when I line up my groceries in order on the conveyor and the bagger just stuffs them in the bags randomly anyway.

I don’t understand the hate for self checkout it’s faster and easier

I enjoy turning this one around. "Oh, you're one of those socialists who wants everybody else to do your work for you, too lazy to lift your own groceries. Nobody wants to work anymore!"

Screw Walmart. During the storms here in NC, I went there to buy some relief supplies, and it was awesome to see the whole store getting picked apart by people buying supplies to donate. What was definitely not awesome was the only 3 checkout lanes open out of the total 12, because Walmart has a 3 per employee rule and they don't want to assign enough workers for the checkout lanes, even during times of crisis like this.
