when i check out at kroger, in the self checkout there's an annoying nagging female voice bossing you around now
I just think it's interesting the human employees are told to run around saying 'hi' and be polite but the second it's an unaccountable robot voice all that goes out the window. that's our future.
it gives you .1 seconds to 'place the item in the bagging area' before this woman's voice starts nagging you. and it's STUPID, why does it even matter? i already scanned the item, there's not enough room on the bagging shelf to put many things, you have to put them in the cart. it should be nagging you if you put something in the bagging area without scanning it. the nagging doesn't even make sense. the female nagging is 'human' in that regard. |

Because under the bagging area is a scale. When you scan an item its weight is then determined to ensure correct item and pricing. The computer expects to see a specific weight for every item scanned.
Now you know. |

yes correct BUT you are missing the point. it's already been scanned , it doesn't need to be on the scale. you can chose 'do not bag'. if it senses an item that was NOT scanned then it would mean you did not pay for it and thus would be a problem for the profit computer

So they want to account for the weight of all items, otherwise people could put nothing on the scale, just straight into the cart, and it would enable the niggers to do their five finger discount thing more easily.

well the POINT was the voice is an annoying nagging female's voice that's extremely impatient. like they are a nitpicking bitch. not the 'oh please, thank you' conditioned humans, since it's a robot it can be rude and unpleasantly critical.

I'm guessing you never had one of those awesome store jobs where you watch vids on loss prevention, lol. Awesomely funny vids of niggers trying to steal and failing even at stealing. One tried to steal a leather coat and all the coats of that price range were tied together, he grabbed it, ran, and took the whole rack with him, breaking the window. Still held onto it and tried to run with the whole rack, that's how stupid.

ok i see your point, it would be slightly less conspicuous to fake scan items, i get it. Niggers walk out the door with carts full of groceries though all the time, they don't bother fake scanning shit

i mean i could scan everything then just throw it in with other stuff at the end when someone isn't looking. the video is going to have to catch it either way. |

They've got full sized checkouts at Wal-Mart now in ND with ample room to bag it all. The real issue is that they are doing this to avoid paying for human beings to work for them. You have to bag your own stuff, which I actually don't mind if I can get out of the place faster, but that's why they have 'em, not for your convenience.

my point was AI machines will be programmed to be utterly ruthless and merciless
slaughterbot drones will follow you out of the store and assassinate you for not 'placing the item in the bagging area' fast enough |

I like self checkout machines for buying a few items it gets you out quicker.
My main beef is the retailers abuse them and end up only having one regular lane open so if you have more than a few items or large items you must wait in line for 10 minutes. Homie Depot is like this. Have self checkout and then ONE lane open for the entire store to use which can get really backed up if one is buying a lot of large items such as lumber and pipes. I would be fine with them but almost every retailer uses them in order to not have regular registers open which then makes it a pain in the ass to checkout. Especially sucks at Chinamart when you have a cart full of groceries and they only got like 3 regular lanes open. Last week I stood in line for almost 15 minutes to checkout with my groceries. |

I dislike using self-checkouts precisely because it is taking a job away from a human. The only times I will use one is if the other checkout lines are long with other shoppers' carts loaded full while I only have a couple of items and don't want to wait.

I'd rather use self check out instead of dealing with an uppity cashier. Quicker too.

Good grief NF: I shop at Kroger all the time and always use the self check out. Yes, that bitch voice annoys the hell outta me too.
Just hit the symbol--a megaphone or loudspeaker I think--until the sound is muted. The symbol is at the bottom of the screen on the right. I do it every time. Problem solved. No whining necessary.
