Do you actually use these? First, you shop at the store, then you actually have to give yourself customer service too. They've fleeced you twice over.

I do have a small garden for some things, yes. However, my point is that you, the customer who is already paying, has become a way for them to offload their own costs. it's quite sad that you go along with it.

the part where the bags are functions as a scale i guess. you're supposed to bag your stuff and leave it there until you're done with it all and have paid, then you put the bags in the cart.

People who go to checkers to get their "money's worth" are fucking stupid. How does taking longer to get out of there help me at all? Sticking it to corporate, just for the sake of doing so, is dumb as shit.

It depends if they're properly calibrated, and if the software/system is up to speed. My local target one day decided to just shut down all manned registers... Checking out $200 of groceries at a self-checkout is a pain in the ass.

If he threw money at you that easy it sounds like there might have been something done before that could have gotten them into legal problems.

I was in a liquor store that knew be and got into deep shit for not carding me because I didn't look like I was over 30? I think was in that state. Maybe he just wanted you to take money and not describe ANY situation regarding them to anyone else because they had fucked up before.
