So relatable!! You just forgot the way the jolly thing doesn’t recognise when you’ve placed Grandma’s birthday card in the bagging area because it’s too light!
I always go to the checkout HUMAN. It keeps them in a job, I get to say some stuff and ... I don't have to deal with machines. Quality of life, always, quality of life. This skit only confirms my habits.
Problem is there is usually only one manned register open, sometimes none, and therefore the line takes ages even though the scanning and paying is 5 times faster than the Self Checkout.
@@josestirtabudi6247 Yes, it's totally minimum wage that's the issue and not corporate greed at all. It's not like Woolies made 1.7 Billion last year after taxes and Coles a solid 1.1 Billion, oh wait, yes it is. And their CEO's Making Millions in base salary, while people try to make ends meet with 20 hours a week at $20 an hour.
Jimmy, nailed it, yet again. The computer never likes my bag, and then the item is too light so it does not register as being in the bag. Don't ever touch the bag....... Go to the human every time, best advice ever......
@@Michael_CS615 was it during late hours? at my store we don't have a dedicated person on registers past 9pm (open till 11) because we only have 3 people in front end past 9:30. Also when it is late and someone is dedicated to a checkout, they are usually filling confectionary at the same time because there is hardly anyone actually going through checkouts
Whenever I have to use them I just verbally responds to it's commands with swearing and a human magically appears at ur side😂sometimes I say STFU ur not my grandma😁
Absolutely nailed it. Was in a store recently where they disguised self check outs as regular checkouts. So begrudgingly scanned my first item - a reusable shopping bag to put my things in. It called for the human. I invited the nice person to finish the finish the checkout process for me..
I know this is meant to be funny (and it is) but I find it so triggering too 😂 Always on point! So glad they're starting to roll these stupid systems back in some places in the UK.
I went in to a Walmart in Canada this past weekend and was open mouth shocked to see all the self checkouts GONE and people back in their place!! And there was one totally free right when I got there, I didn't even have to wait. I - not kidding here - looked around to see if I'd been duped onto a prank show, so far from expected reality had I found myself.
1st, nicely done. This was so on-point, it was hilarious. 2nd, this bit gave me strong Steve Carell / Bill Burr vibes, but custom built in Australia. All good things imo (I'm from Melbourne). And 3rd, you should check out Bill Burr's bit (if you haven't already) on how big corporations are turning us into their staff, with the "self-service movement". It's f*cking hysterical!!!
This is 100% accurate. The only reasons I like the self-serve (apart from it "mostly" works for me) are 1. As a shy introverted person, human checkouts are very awkward or embarrassing. 2. With self-serve, using change/coins is easy and it counts it accurately. Whereas with human ones, it's very embarrassing and awkward (especially if there's a big line) and just a hassle for the workers I imagine. 3. The lines for human checkouts are ALWAYS full regardless (very annoying if I'm in a hurry or on lunch break). 4. They often employ high school teens or kids who are only there for money and couldn't give a stuff about customers or the community. Most don't even fake a smile (even the adults). Otherwise, I prefer human checkouts. Many times it fails to read barcodes and it's incredibly hard to angle some items to the scanner. Plus, while it does free up some lines, it's not by much. The lines at Coles and Woolies are ALWAYS past full regardless.
Number 1 - relatable. My anxiety goes up with human checkouts. I'm also nearly 50 yo so this is a personality quirk. Number 2 is starting to be phased out, I know my local ALDI and Woolies are all card only self checkouts. Number 3 isn't always true as sometimes the self checkout lines are longer than the human ones Number 4 is truth so having "human contact" with these types of people is worse IME than none with self checkout
I'm one of those people who is laughing my ass off at this whilst at the same time being thankful AF for self checkouts. I go into the shop, buy my shite, and want to leave. At the same time, I did a couple of times over the course of the year go with a human checkout instead of self checkout and it was awful for my anxiety. They'd scan everything and I'd have to bag it asap. I was still bagging it. They were literally only scanning it. I'm fine with doing that if it gets me in and out quickly without pressure or anxiety.
Thanks Jimmy for making annoying things in life funny. My last trip to the supermarket, on a Wednesday morning, I was forced to use the self serve to checkout my full weekly shop. There was only one human checkout working and it was the "express lane" of 12 items or less but it had a huge queue of people with full trolleys waiting. Why don't they put more people on checkouts or hire more workers? This particular supermarket made a one billion dollar profit in the last financial year but can't be bothered to hire workers and provide a service. Geez....
I don’t find it efficient when it takes me 15 mins to use a self checkout, as my supermarket won’t open a human manned register before 9:30am, and I like to shop early to avoid crowds and parking issues🙄🙄🙄
Don't forget to call the human to make sure you are over 18, when you scan a box of matches! WTF....I couldn't believe it! What...it's OK for a person over 18 to burn down someone's house, but not someone under 18?😂😂😂😂
There is now this new system where you scan the item using an app on your phone and put it directly in your bag. When done, the app transfers the list to a till, and you pay. There are random checks, but the first time I used the new system, I accidentally stole a loaf of bread.
Been through 1 with the better half operating and that's it. In Bunnings recently there was about 15 people being served on 2 checkouts and 0 in the self checkout area. IF I get to a checkout and there's no option but to use the self checkout then that is where my shopping will remain. I'll leave it right there and the former checkout staff can put it back on the shelf.
TIP FOR OTHERS - If you're in a department store that has these, go grab one of the huge bags of bean bag refill beans. When you scan it, it will tell you to put it in the bagging area. Shoving it into the bagging area will puncture the bag, causing foam beads to cascade across the shop. When the staff member asks if you need any help, just ask if they can grab you another bag of beans as there's something wrong with this one. (My wife doesn't take me shopping anymore)
I've worked 'On The Checkout's', so I JUST KNOW! The Express / Self serve, Is Probably CLOGGED, But that Register "Way up the other end", is probably Open, "But the Operator is just 'Cleaning the Cleanest' Register in the STORE AGAIN" (Bored)! BUT, Hey 😄I Ended Up With Some "VERY LOYAL Customers" way down There! I Was 27 when they put Me "On Teenager Watch"
I didn’t realise your name was Mr Crit. I must admit I’ve used self checkout. The grandkids and I take it in turns to scan. I will even check the price in Big W on their scanners even if I know the price. I think I like the blip noise. Most of the time I use direct to boot.
Put the item in the bagging area. OMG unexpected item in the bagging area!!!! ... put the item back in the bagging area. And so the cycle starts. In, out, in out infinite loop
@voltare2amstereo I reported two unsatisfactory avocados to my Melbourne IGA last week. ($2.50 each.) Not to request a refund, but so they knew - no good, both completely brown inside. (I praised their delicious, juicy oranges.) He kindly deducted $5 from that shop. Great response. As I said to him: "Your business and trading hours are worth more to me than $5." The bad avos would not stop me shopping there. But he certainly left a good impression after that offer 😊
If no human on checkout, ill leave a full trolly just sitting. I get no benefit from doing it myself. I get no discount, they don't pay me, and they can then sack staff, all reasons to avoid like the plague.
BILL BURR (the comedian) does a SENSATIONAL bit on this saying exactly that. That big corporations are turning us into their staff without any pay or benefits whatsoever, with the "self-serve movement". You should really check it out, it's hilarious.
