Seems to be the latest thing the Sams club we go to now has more self checkout lanes than cashiers. Just wondering how others feel about them? Sometimes it’s almost worth it to use them to avoid the cashier that insists on putting the heaviest item on your loaf of bread. Some how I think there should be some incentive to using them. For me most times there is always that one person that can not figure out how to use them, so there goes the time benefit.

I love the self-checkout lines. I'm usually faster than most cashiers. The only time that self-checkout is a hassle is if it's busy and I'm buying something that requires an "ID check". But generally speaking, the self-checkout lines move much faster than the full service (since there's more of them).
More likely a service charge to have a cashier...
Yeah, this. Some people really shouldn't attempt to use them.
Or else they're saying stuff like, "This rang up at 4.99! The sticker on the shelf said 4.97!!"
Bank line > checkout line. I care about people's jobs, automation kinda sucks, I don't like the work being put on the customer, but damn I hate waiting in line behind slow people or playing the "let's profile these people and figure out who is going to be slowest" game. Self checkout is just faster overall. It's not faster 1:1 than having a cashier do it, but skipping the six people in front of you who are feeding an entire Little League team makes up for it.
And I 'm the prick that reports this. I get the "look and give them the fingerThe 12 items or less line is a lie !!!!! Go in to buy just a couple things and have to wait on the lady with a cart full ofIn the 12 items or less ......
I'm okay with that. People that don't understand that "minimum wage" is not meant to be a "living wage" should be forced to find out that "minimum wage" is better than "zero wage".
They will not learn that, hey will just ask the government for money...

My time is worth something to me. So if I save some of it by using the self-serve lanes, then in a way, I've been "paid".Right.. I never use the self checkouts... I don't mind waiting.. I was getting old before I got there, I dont reckon waiting in line changes that much lol

Well, you can flirt with them, but they don't listen. Pretty much the same as the human cashiers.
But at least they won't call a manager over to report "sexual harassment"!Haven’t seen many worth flirting with at wal mart . Not sure it they have a dental plan ?
I used to use the self checkout lanes because I was always faster and didn't need to unload the cart with the handheld bar code scanner. I now use Scan & Go feature in the app and scan the items as I pick them up. A quick swipe to pay on the phone and the checker at the door scans a QR code from the phone. Super quick and zero standing in the crazy lines. I was at the Sam's in Fort Wayne last Saturday and lines were over half way to the back of the store. A quick scan and out the door with no waiting for a register.
I almost always do self checkout. I am particular how I like my things bagged. I like my cold things and my dry goods in their own bags, not packaged together. I want soaps in their very own bags so they don't leak on anything else.
I don't want to only get two bags for $100 worth of stuff. I hate how many cashiers try to stuff as many items as they can into one bag and then give me a dirty look when I ask them to double bag it.
Most cashier stress me out by how they over bag or improperly bag my stuff so I would rather do it myself.
My payment for doing so is that I get to have as many bags as I want without getting dirty looks or po'd.
