Not sure I can blame him. Slow people should not be allowed to use the self-checkout registers.
If I am at a store i like i prefer to use cash. Costs me the same but they get to keep what would go to the credit card companies.
There have been times that a young cashier has so little experance handling cash that it slows down the checkout line.
Walmart has annouced they will be closed Christmas day so both cashiers can spend time with their loved ones.
Yes I do think debt cards are witchcraft lol
last human who uses checks and cash and occasionally a credit card. Never debt.
liability is different.
Or they’re what my buddy calls “Choosy Beggars” who want the checkout person to honor an expired coupon, and argue about it, endlessly. And there are, apparently, some in the lines I get in who want to negotiate to buy the store from the Express lanes.
I prefer self checkout. I can move at a rapid pace. Don’t have to watch some idiot roll her eyes at me while putting my an anvil on top of my bread
Police didn’t handle that properly. You shouldn’t have been handled that way. Oh well....
lolol
69 years old in Cape Coral, Florida? He’s not a native. Nobody over 60 is a native here.
I've been asking that for several years now.
Paying with a mobile app or with the mobile device’s payment system has been a thing for a number of years now.
These days mostly it’s only old people still paying with checks because they don’t realize that there now is little practical difference on the store’s side between checks and a debit card, thanks to Check 21. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_21_Act
Not much of a difference between a debit card payment and a check from the point of view of the customer, either. “But I need it for records” is rather BS - debit cards have records of transactions too.
This - at self-checkout, when your order is being checked out slowly you have only yourself to blame.
Erm... not to be totally rude or anything, but...
1. Debit cards from major issuers have the same liability as credit cards and are better than checks. Zero liability.

It’s part of the change to chip cards.
2. Please do not pay with a check when there are people behind you in line. It is the slowest form of payment these days and your check is basically going to be converted into a debit transaction anyway.
Let me guess - you live in an area where most people are over 50?
Even worse when they don’t even start looking until the total is rung up (and they haven’t put any bags in their cart).
Wait, oh wait! I got coupons, lemme look...
The vast majority of people take a lackadaisical approach regarding common courtesy especially with respect to anything outside their bubble.
A couple of years ago I was in a checkout line and there was a fat guy in one of electric carts ahead. His basket was full and his wife also had a basket full.
When it came time to pay, he pulled out a huge roll of money from his pocket. ....Turns out there was over a hundred dollars in ONE DOLLAR bills! ...The poor cashier had to count the bills and make sure they were real.
I know $1 bills can build up, like pennies do, but why not just drop by the bank and get larger bills in exchange.
It’s called ‘common decency’ and it appears to have disappeared down the memory hole.
