The local grocery here used to have scales that printed out barcodes for the produce, but they got rid of them because too many jackasses were stealing shit. Now the fucking cashier has to ring up each produce item individually, which is a pain in the ass and waste of time.

This is why thieves should be hung by the neck until dead.

This.

I recognize several workers at my local supermarket and pick my line accordingly.

The old arab looking guy is super fast. He has no idea what organic vs. standard means, so even if I buy organic produce he'll ring it up as standard.

There's a college-age girl with all kinds of funky hair colors and piercings. She has only the most basic knowledge of produce: any sort of pepper? She rings it up as a jalapeno. Shallots? She doesn't know what those are--she rings those up as yellow onions. And so on.

At the grocery stores in my area (I have 3), you would be waiting an extra 5-10mins to get someone else to bag for you.

There are never enough fucking cashiers open, and the 3 that are have 9 hamplanets buying $150 worth of 2L sodas

Fuck the one grocery store doesn't even have baggers. The cashier scans your shit and sends it down the line where YOU have to bag it. It's a fucking Giant was well, so it's not like I am shopping at Aldi's or Save-A-Lot or something

Problem is
>Cashier is moving a mile a minute
>Conveyor is small so if you have a full cart lord help you there is going to be 20 things scanned before you even get down there

Use your brain. It wouldn't make sense to have the machines. They replace usually 2 lines, so possibly 2 cashiers and maybe 2 baggers. 2 lines becomes 4-8 machines.

4 people even working full time at a grocery store would be pulling in max $100k together. So the store replaces them with machines that will cost them annually $280k to $560k. PLUS the salary of the person who checks that nobody is stealing.

You've either made up a number of 70k or you confused a single payment of $70k per machine for the yearly maintenance

I remember back when I was cashiering at Kroger (like 20 years ago), nothing pissed me off more than those fuckers that would just lean on the check-writing shelf and stare at the price readout as I scanned stuff while there's a line of 4 people behind them and no baggers. It's like "Go bag the fucking groceries!" ... I absolutely understand it's not their job. But there's an etiquette issue there, please it defies logic that they're setting there jerking off when they could be out of the store 3x faster if they went and put some shit in bags. They're wasting everyone's time.

Every since then, I've always bagged my stuff. Even when a bagger was there, I helped. I imagine it's like how servers tend to stack the plates, silverware, and trash on the table after they're done when they dine out themselves. It's a small effort, but it's just a nice thing to do when you're just fucking off making paper cranes out of napkins while waiting for them to run your credit card.

How much do you think retail clerks get paid? My guess is that it takes minimum 5 machines to save $100k, but make that 6 because you have to pay someone to watch for shoplifting like you are ludicrously trying to promote and also to help people who can't figure out the machine, or fix it when it acts up, plus the cost of maintenance in the machines themselves and/or expensive proprietary technicians for repairs. If anything, they are fitting in more registers with less space to reduce the need to expand the building itself while helping to reduce lines at individual registers. As well as a convenient out for the socially inept.

Heh, I once worked at a best buy. One of our favorite pranks was to get one of those stickers on a fellow employee somehow on the day during which we unloaded an incoming truck shipment. The managers would be obsessed with the idea of someone stealing something during the unloading process. The result was that management would practically strip-search anyone who set off the alarm when going home after unloading the truck.

>How much do you think retail clerks get paid?

You need to look far beyond the basic salary of a clerk. In the US you would also have to consider:
-the employer's side of the standard payroll deductions (medicare, medicaid, and payroll tax)
-cost of training, HR resources, uniforms, etc.
-cost of any insurance, retirement, or other programs that might be offered
-state and local taxes paid by an employer
-the employer's cost of various things like insurance, unemployment tax classification, etc, that are determined by the number of employees.

...and then you factor in that the machine never fucks up its schedule, doesn't show up to work late or hung over, never takes vacation, doesn't call in sick, and so on.

They are quite obviously cheaper than employees otherwise nobody would use the machines.

HR expenses are always there. I.e. someone has to take the time to do the hiring paperwork with the part-timer, check their timesheets, cut paychecks, etc.

A part-timer would probably not incur any retirement program related costs, but could easily fall under the store's insurance policy. I operate a small business--a machine shop. My state unemployment tax, liability insurance (if an employee hurts themselves at work), and various local taxes are all determined by the "number" of employees I have. It doesn't matter if they are full-time or part time. I have to pay the same extra fees to the various governments when I hire a new employee regardless if they work one hour a week or fifty. In my business the only thing I "save" on a part-time employee vs. full time would be retirement benefits.

Only thing worse than that was mexicans trying to get around split plate charges or freaking the fuck out and yelling at our waitresses because they couldn't order 2 entrees for 8 people, actually had to call the cops to have someone removed one time. Restaurant was on a beach so we would constantly get people coming in and wanting to use the restrooms and being mad they had to be a paying customer, so we had women buy like a drink and then shit on the floor in the bathroom 7 times in the 2 years I worked there.

Well I worked as a washer and driver, then cook and a waiter sometimes if we were short staffed so most my interactions with asshole customers were druggies who call back mad that when we asked if they needed utensils they said no so then they couldn't eat their food. Pissed off people in the restaurant never really bother me since 99% of the time I'm pissed off at waitstaff for fucking up taking an order down so I have to fix or redo something and fucking up the whole flow. We have an open kitchen in the front and no one normally has the balls to say something to you when you are cooking. The only thing you have to deal with is dishes being sent back by idiots complaining that their fresh out of the oven side isn't hot and when you stick your finger in it it literally melts the glove. Had way more than 15 pissed off people but never had time to dwell on it just fix the dish and move on. Now people asking for fucking dumb alterations don't get me started on those mother fucks. Salad dressing on the side then sending it back because they couldn't toss it properly, asking for like 3 different dressing, CAN I GET BUTTER FOR MY FRENCH FRIES. Had a lady send her salad back twice asking if I could chop the lettuce to be smaller. I get fucking triggered with dressing on the side assholes because then they always ask for like 2 more ramekins and then we run out of em.

Everyone always says how great the service is when its shit and then when its good they say its bad and they always get a billion alterations and make complaints about shit, eating out just pisses me off because everyone I know is an asshole or an annoying customer. My wife's friend tried to argue with a waiter what she could get substituted and I almost called her a cunt for arguing to see a manager because she didn't want to be charged 3.50 for a sub that she wasn't paying for.


Most complaining customers fall into like set stereotypes of complaints, same as just ordering type and tipping type.
>Light Brown People horrible tippers, 2 dishes and minimum side count to avoid split plate fee for 15 people and argue about it, loads of alterations and complaints about food trying to get free shit
>Black People no tip and are either complete ghosts or huge assholes no complaining normally (they are rare out here
>Yellow People pretend they don't speak english and are basically nicer light brown people
>White people completely random normally are nice cept fat women who complain constantly and always want alterations

Fat white and mexican women are literally the worst a billion alterations and substitutions, something is always wrong and they are irrationally angry about it and they will fucking tell you about how wrong you are. I can't even count the number of times a husband has came back and privately apologized to the whole staff and ordered another glass of wine for his cunt of a wife. Age is all over the place except for druggies which are always young and almost worse than fat women.

I've only seen it happen at Sam's Club and Costco. I think the main reason is because those stores don't bag up your stuff. So if they didn't check it would be very easy to walk in and fill up your cart with a bunch of stuff, then just walk out.

There are 8760 hours in a year, and US Federal minimum wage is 7.25. That means it would cost 63,510 a year in straight up wages to keep a lane open at a 24 hour store like wal-mart or something. That completely throws out the amount of management, liability, training, benefits, etc of an employee, and the cost of the technology that is still necessary to have a manned checkout lane. If you factor those in I have no doubt that self-checkout lanes cost less.

Also, I'm almost certain the the more machines you have, the less maintenance costs per machine.

What people think of specifically as baggers are often the more general label of Courtesy Clerk, at least at Albertsons stores, and we have a lot of duties beyond just bagging. The real reason we're suffering at Safeway is because of payroll cuts and an automated computer system doing our shift times. Of course, the schedule is usually a violation of UFCW contract for one of several reasons...

I don't mind if people bag their own but I do prefer if I am already starting to bag that they not wrestle the bags away from me and instead just provide me any instructions desired on making the bags heavy or light, if they want jugs of juice or milk bagged, etc.

LOL yeah. People bagging their own groceries is EXACTLY why stores aren't hiring more employees. It has nothing to do with cost-cutting and corporate greed. No, no, this is all the fault of the customer for bagging their own groceries. Damn those customers and their shopping for making businesses not hire employees.

There is no etiquette issue here. I worked at Fred Meyer from 1999 until 2002 right after the Kroger buyout, and at no point was I told by my managers, or the other cashiers that I should expect the customer to bag if I didn't have a bagger. They weren't even expected to put their bags in the cart if they didn't want to. My job was to get the customer taken care of as quickly and politely as possible. If they just wanted to watch, that's fine; most customers weren't in a big hurry anyway.

I bagged for two years. There are more important tasks to do than bagging. You don't have to call me every fucking time I go to do restock. You have a fucking set of bags next to you, and don't get on me when that ice cream melts on the floor the next morning.

Fuck you, Delieth and Brittany.
