I get and agree but I don’t go to a cashier for human connection. I do however want humans paid
Humans can be paid without slowing down my grocery shopping. Just pay them to stay home and let me efficiently pay for my food and go.
Self checkout fucks up every second time. Then I have to wait for the server fixing the other 6 fucked machines to do mine. The terminals always seem to be slow with whatever the unfuck commands are.
On average it dosnt seem faster.
I guess it depends on the store. I can't remember last time I needed assistance. I use them at Edeka, rewe, Rossmann and ikea.
If you’re only ever getting a few items I can see how self-checkout is faster, but for full grocery trips cashiers are undeniably way faster, primarily because I can bag while the clerk scans.
For major groceries I go with the family, so one can scan while the other bags, plus the kids enjoy scanning items as well...
I don't go to the supermarket for human connection, I go to get a product. But when getting said product I 100% prefer the human connection of a cashier than a machine, I don't even care if it's slightly slower.
I am so awkward and clumsy at self checkout that I absolutely need the human interaction with a cashier, and I am faster that way. By far. The thought of not having cashiers is giving me anxiety
