Happy Verified UPSer
Went to the walmart today and it was very crowded. 15 cashier aisles but only one real cashier so used the self checkout for the first time.
Had to call over the attendant about 5 times to ask how to use it.
First I asked how much of a discount I would receive for doing a cashier job ..."none" I then asked what would happen if I had 4 cans of soup( as an example ) and only scanned 3. ( even by mistake ), would I be arrested for shoplifting? she said no. If the attendant saw a mistake they would help you correct it. they don't have a checker at the exit door anymore.
I got 4 ears of corn and did not know how to ring it up. she showed me how. there are pictures of all the fruits and veggies ( if there is no scan code ) and you just select the picture and then touch the number you are getting.
The corn was 42 cents per ear. BUT , the other pictures of produce were more expensive .All the way up to $2 per. You can get the more expensive stuff and just press the corn or something a lot less and just press in the number and save a small fortune.
I pointed this out to the attendant. I also said it would be so easy to scam this system. She only said that "most people are honest" .
I just laughed and said "most people are honest? you are talking about Reno , Nevada the scuzz capital of Nevada.
Then we went to Costco and they also have self checkouts. I asked the attendant how much of a discount I got for doing his job?
he said "none"
I said I pay $120 a year for a membership to shop here and you expect me to self checkout? I told him they needed to unionize.He must have been management because he didnt think it was very funny.
What's next? stocking shelves? paid parking? unloading trucks? so you can shop there?
