people going through there with beer, or ordering cigarettes there..

not really getting the point of using the self checkout if you're gonna have to go deal with the cashier. i can come up with no other reason except that these people enjoy annoying the rest of us.

4/6/2008 4:52:33 PM

i just dealt with 2 people in the express lane with 15+ items and the cashier didn't say a word to them

i had 3 items and i was pissed

4/6/2008 4:53:48 PM

the only problem i have with self-checkout is when people go through them with like a full cart of stuff. shit takes forever.

4/6/2008 4:59:19 PM

And those weighted racks don't hold the shitton of shit they bought.

4/6/2008 5:00:19 PM

I only accept this when it's late at night and the self check out is the only lane open

that's my beef with it. it's supposed to be a quick checkout but those people tie up a spot for ten minutes. i also hate it when someone goes through with a bunch vegetables or fruit that they have to sit there and weigh.

Going through with just beer or something isn't that bad if you want to avoid these people in the regular lanes. I know I don't want to have to wait 20 minutes in line just to buy a six pack

4/6/2008 5:02:34 PM

yeah thats something else that i dont get... why go through that line if you're gonna need a cashier anyways?

i guess they want practice at scanning shit

^they have express lanes for your one item. self checkout should not require a cashier in any way.

4/6/2008 5:02:54 PM

the express lane gets tied up for the same reasons though. overall, it's much faster to use the self checkout for one item than to wait in line in the express lane

4/6/2008 5:05:11 PM

i can haul ass threw a self check out so i kinda understand why ppl go through with a ton of shit--in asheboro ppl are too dumb to realize those lanes without people are actually ones you can use, so the tend to be the only ones open

but yeah, people sitting there scanning one thing, looking at the screen to make sure its right, stepping over the bag, putting it in all careful, then wandering back over to scan something else really get on my nerves. i'm usually like throwing shit through there. if it didn't have that bullshit scale setup at most checkouts where it senses when you put an item in the bagging area it'd be way faster for me though

4/6/2008 5:05:52 PM

ignoring the "self" checkout part, in my opinion, is the same as ignoring the "10 items or less" rule

4/6/2008 5:06:11 PM

^ on that point, it always makes me laugh when i leave to show the person my ID and someone walks up to my station thinking it's open and then looks confused when nothing happens haha

guess i'm right

4/6/2008 5:30:57 PM

I agree with this. If you want beer and cigarettes fast, you go to a place called a convenience store where you pay like 50 cents extra to be able to run in and get your booze and smokes in under 3 minutes.

4/6/2008 5:35:12 PM

plus cigarettes are like 20000 times cheaper at the convenience store. i got 6 packs of smokes and a 12 pack of mountain dew for 15 bucks today

4/6/2008 5:36:22 PM

are you a Doral man?

4/6/2008 5:37:07 PM

camel lights. at the store down the street, they're 280 a pack when you get 2 packs.

but today they had the buy one get one free, so i got 3 of those.

4/6/2008 5:37:47 PM

yeah right "The Judge." last time i bought a 12 pack of bud at a convenient store it cost me $11.99. that's a hell of a lot more than a $.50 cent hike

4/6/2008 5:37:48 PM

yeah right "The Judge."

4/6/2008 5:38:44 PM

thats a fucking steal on camels


and only in america will you find people bitching about paying a dollar a beer. You realize its cheaper than gas or milk right?

4/6/2008 5:39:50 PM

plus the girl that works at that store is very concerned about my finances. she always lets me know that if i buy 2 things of soda i can save a dollar. and i always tell her that if i buy only one, i save 2.50!!1

4/6/2008 5:40:59 PM

yeah, milk is expensive also. now if you'll excuse me, i gotta go to the teeter to pick up some beer. look for me in the self checkout line

4/6/2008 5:42:07 PM

yeah i got milk there on friday or something. it was like... 3.50 for half a gallon as opposed to 3.00 for a gallon at HT.

but sometimes you just dont wanna go to the damned grocery store.

4/6/2008 5:43:05 PM

beer is cheaper than gas? really?

and ninety percent of the time it takes all of 15 seconds to walk to the cashier podium, flash your ID, walk back, and continue scanning...get over it

4/6/2008 5:43:53 PM

Guess it sucks to be you guys because I'm going to keep buying my beer at the self checkout lane. Whats that, another 30 seconds to flash my ID to the cashier over seeing the self checkout lanes? Or no time at all if they don't want to see my ID? I swear you kiddies will find the littlest things to cry all day long about.

4/6/2008 5:44:20 PM

oh, i'm over it. i'm totally content with the fact that there will always be morons that don't understand what "self-checkout" means.

4/6/2008 5:44:44 PM

you can get 3 40s for less than 4 bucks, so beer is cheaper than gasoline

think about it, thats 10 beers for less than a gallon of gas

4/6/2008 5:46:04 PM

I wonder if the grocery store agrees with you. Then they might do something radical like not allow alcohol purchases in the self checkout lanes.

4/6/2008 5:47:14 PM

man you cant even vent about something on wolfweb anymore without some douchebags coming along saying that you won't stop bitching about it.

^its not like they stop grandma from bringing 50 items into the express lane and writing a check

4/6/2008 5:47:36 PM

I am motivated to purchase alcohol and cigarettes in the self checkout line just to be irritating, my life is that exciting

4/6/2008 5:48:36 PM

you should have to take a fucking test proving you can check yourself out before being allowed to

4/6/2008 5:51:29 PM

i use self checkout because i can get a case of beer for 5 dollars

120 ounces = 0.9375 gallons

if gas is $3.25-$3.30 per gallon around here, gas is still cheaper

now if you're actually ripping off the teeter, then i have no problem with what you do.

Where the hell are you buying gas?

CROWN or something?

4/6/2008 5:54:13 PM

pwnt by the math gestapo

so basically beer and gasoline are roughly equal

this does not change the fact that its ridiculous to cry over dollar beers

nah, there are lots of places in Raleigh that are in that range

4/6/2008 5:57:30 PM

yeah right "The Judge."

4/6/2008 5:58:14 PM

okay whatever "THE JUDGE"

4/6/2008 6:00:01 PM

see, in and out, no problem (would have been quicker but i went lookin for a good steak). also didn't keep anyone else from using the self checkout and saved my small amount of money. wasn't so bad was it "The Judge?"

4/6/2008 6:02:05 PM

yeah right "omicron101."

4/6/2008 6:03:54 PM

4/6/2008 6:04:55 PM

hahaha you're alllllright

4/6/2008 6:05:03 PM

Harris Teeter is where it's at with the $2.49 subs. I mean, wow...Thursday is what i'm talking about.

4/6/2008 6:28:26 PM

plus, if you frequent the same beer stores, just do like dave chappell in the bodega (in half-baked)

moon the cashiers so they'll remember you next time

HEY!!!! BLACK ASS!

4/6/2008 6:48:55 PM

4/6/2008 6:52:34 PM

yeahhh that's really annoying. or the people with like an cart full of items...it's like "how antisocial do you have to be to not want to go through a regular checkout line??"
