Is this how it works in the US? Because everywhere I use them in Europe they are pretty smooth if you’re not buying alcohol.

    At least in the major retailers in my area - yes. They are annoying AF and that’s coming from a pretty antisocial person.

    Canada is halfway between the two. The best part of self checkouts is one queue feeding into many stations. Traditional tills drive me fucking mad i hate then so so much! Give me a canadian tire, winners, or dollarama style checkout with one big ass queue feeding into all tills. Then grandma can pay in 19th century haypennies and coupons as an excuse to get her socializing in outside the nursing home, and i can get my fucking groceries in a timely and non-infuriating manner.

    I’m an Anerican and I’ve not really had any of these issues. The bagging area one yes, but otherwise no real problems and I’ve never in my life had a cart lock up. I try to avoid self check out, it’s not my job so why am I doing it?

    It’s pretty seamless in the States too.

  • Even when buying alcohol you just have an employee walk 3 meters to you, you show your ID and the employee clears it. Thats how it is in some stores, others just prohibit alcohol completely.
