    Do I get a discount for checking myself out? Unless it’s 1-2 items and the normal line is full - it is cashier every time for me.

      Same. I will go to the cashier even when it’s somewhat inconvenient to me just because I despise the idea that the grocery store is making me be the cashier for free.

        That’s why if something “fails” to scan or you input some produce at a cheaper price “on accident”, then it’s the store’s fault - you’re not a cashier, just a customer doing self-checkout.

        I mean, they’re also “making you” pick up your items off the shelf, just like the gas station “makes you” pump your own gas.

        They’re a skilled worker that has memorized the codes for the different types of potatoes, a skill I am unlikely to learn.

          I guess it depends on the machine, but I don’t have to memorize codes. You can search for the item by name when it’s time to weigh it.

              If I can get home faster, it might be wort it. Not always, but sometimes. Specially if I’m picking up a small set of items that are easy to scan.

        Honestly, it’s immoral but yeah. I tried scanning something out of my pile of 15 items at Dollarama. It didn’t register after I slapped it against the scanner 5 times so I was like whatever. I was too tired to bother so I just put it in the other side. I wasn’t trained on how to use it properly.
