Not surprising that they’ve titrated the cashier lines to always be much longer.
At least it’s not a government again giving you quick service if you sign away your rights with a lineup around the block for those that with to assert their rights.
I’m also thankful that my local grocery store is subject to a massive development proposal, so they’re not bothering with capital improvements like self-checkout.
I've gotten used to the expectation that I will be my own cashier at most places, but I'm not OK assuming any liability that comes with my lack of cashier skillset/training which is what they want.
Lowes got rid of all cashiers and went to 0 armed bandits (self checkouts).
Menard's has hidden policies which you don't find out until you're at the receiving end. Hut they have human cashiers.
Costco can't enforce the receipt check, but they can terminate your membership - but that's only because they're a membered organization in the first place.
Most professional cashiers are only trained in one merchant's POS. Suddenly, me a layman consumer is supposed to be a flawless operator of every variant of self-checkout POS that I encounter. It's a bit crazy to me that a court would side with a merchant unless some egregious evidence or pattern had could be demonstrated.
