10 machines are supervised by one person, that's 9 cashier jobs down the toilet. The extra people hired to produce and maintain the them will be in the hundreds nationwide, whereas that's 1000's of cahier jobs gone nationwide.
My main struggle with self checkout is the amount of money they spend installing them that could have been spent paying for or hiring new staff. My local Morrisons has 10 normal checkouts and only 2 of them ever have staff on it, meanwhile the cues are massive, especially for the self service checkouts.
@consywonsy As someone who has made progress in dealing with my own autism, just know that it can be improved and you can become literally less autistic with proper training and practice and in understanding socialising and social dynamics on a conscious level. Other people just naturally learn it but I had to so so consciously and then implement those things into myself until they became unconscious behaviors and social interaction was no longer a swamp of pain and confusion. I was lucky to be doing this in my late teen and early 20's, if you are already a bit older it may be harder. But really, if self service checkouts were a concession for people with severe autism and anxiety disorders I'd be absolutely fine with them, but they exist to streamline an already very profitable business for the purpose of further enriching it's shareholders at the expense of staff.
Do they have any apps / self scan machines these days? I don't live near a Morrisions. The Sainsburys app is dead handy when it's busy, makes no difference to me if there is a queue or not.
Yes! Even in the same fking chain of shops they'll have the groceries on one side and the bagging on the other, then change it around in a different store. Possibly even the same store. They should introduce some colour coding or something. It's a user experience TRAIN WRECK.

The biggest misconception about self service checkouts is the notion that you’re serving yourself. You’re not. You’re serving the supermarket. They don’t want to employ till attendants, and shelf stackers and managers, so they employ one third of the amount of people they need to adequate serve in a shop, make them do all three, and then get you to do the other two thirds of the work.
I'm sure experiences vary wildly from geographic region to region so to offer a counter. My experience is self checkouts provide a much needed role fill during peak demand, realistically no grocery store is going to be staffing to match peak demand since peak lasts less than a few hours, the result is during peak lines get really long as everyone funnels through 2-4 cashiers. With self checkout you still have the slowest most incapable people utilizing the cashiers while more comfortable people tend to go in self-checkout, I don't care about the cost savings for the grocery store, I care that instead of waiting upwards of 10 minutes for a cashier, I'm waiting 1-2 minutes for self-checkout. I also don't think staffing is much different, you still tend to have mostly 2-3 cashiers with outliers of 1/4 whereas before it'd usually be 2-4 with outliers of 5 maybe 6. The job loss is very minimal. I don't think it'd affect stocking shelves as now everything needs proper tagging and proper labels since people are going to be scanning their own shit. I do think that self-checkouts are annoying in things like small drugstores where there's pretty much never more than 2 people going to pay at once and even at peak the waits aren't long because everyone is buying only a few specific things. I'm absolutely sure in some places these things are completely mismanaged but just know there are successful and positive ways this system has been implemented. I also don't live in america and I think the number of severely uhh... special... individuals is far lower where I live, though it is rising and trailing after the US's culture so we'll see.
"The biggest misconception about self service checkouts is the notion that you’re serving yourself. You’re not. You’re serving the supermarket." I never thought about it that way. That's literally genius.
"...where convenience ends and frustration begins?" 😂😂😢 nooo I am used to most checkouts but then I go to a store I'm not familiar with and it feels like a betrayal
Being 6 foot 7 with a wrecked back, I can't physically use those machines because they're designed for short people/wheelchair users/or imps. Also cannot step foot in SuperValu this time of year as they dangle sharp shiny items at my eye level (some kind of festive decorative torture device for tall people).
Learning useful skills having worked as a cashier for Netto. This does come very useful when navigating the self-checkout, but the anxiety of fucking up is still there and the inconvenience of waiting for someone to check ya ID before paying for your booze. Which means having to make awkward eye contact with the self-checkout worker before they put their code in.
The strobe effect at the end was wonderful, as was the part where your voiced changed, you really can hit those high notes. The slow takeover of self checkout aisles in shops far and wide is symptomatic of the rise of machines and AI. I'll always queue at a till if one's available, as it's pure aggro buying Lidl bakery items on self checkout and I just don't need it when all is said and done.
The self checkout aisle is basically the shoplift aisle lmfao I can't use self checkout due to my vision problems. I've had a series of detached retinas & surgeries to fix them. I paid to have my vision corrected for distance so I don't have to wear glasses day to day, but the downside is I'm Profoundly blind for up close. Even with the strongest "readers" (3.5x) I can't really make out, say, standard newspaper print. The screens on the checkout machines are plenty big, but the text is always Painfully Tiny. 20-somethings must design all this stuff. It'd take me a whole day to switch back & forth between the strong readers & the mid readers & no glasses to go thru my shopping cart, find the bar codes on the products, scan them, read the screen, etc. Not. Worth. It. Oh yeah, don't try suggesting bifocals (trifocals actually), they simply don't work & just give me a raging migraine & sore neck from looking up & down constantly.
You are right about the shoplifting; people checking out a just few cheap items of a full cart. Nowadays shops have one or two staffers checking on the customers in the self checkout section.
As a retail worker who has mastered the fine and noble art of buying my lunch at the self-service checkouts, the biggest mistake I see people make is _actually_ putting their bag/s down in the bagging area - you know, that part of the machine where you're supposed to put your bags, where you're usually directly instructed to put them. It's almost always guaranteed to bewilder the machines into an inevitable bout of shrieking "pLeAsE wAiT fOr aSsIStAnCe" which only gets the worse the more you try to remedy the situation by removing your bag/s, putting them down again, etc. I start scanning and putting my purchases into the bagging area *unbagged*, and then I bag them after paying. Works pretty much every time.
And get scowled at for not vacating the purchasing cubicle with sufficient rapidity by your fellow unpaid supermarket employees - oh sorry, I meant shoppers.
@@georgemorley1029 Luckily I've been doing this long enough that I no longer give a damn. Given that I've spent roughly ten billion years waiting for customers to get out of my way over the countless cycles of cosmic expansion and heat-death I've worked in the industry, they can cope for several seconds as I bag my shopping up.
the man in tesco rummaged through my bag once, I'd put an existing bag of shopping down and it triggered his spidey sense, or the scales on the checkout anyway
I witness this phenomenon everyday at my job. I am a night shift syocker and the amount of times i hear, "Assistance needed at self check out." Is astronomical. 😂
Self-checkouts are horror for introverts. You are being watched by store clerk. In case of error, machine will scream and publicly announce what you're too stupid to buy bread, milk, vegetables and meat.
Old people oblivious to anyone other than themselves usually, that annoys me aswell. Especially when they do it standing there all confident without acknowledging anyone waiting behind them and then whenever they're finished they always think of something else to ask the receptionist and stand there for god knows how long
I'm checking myself out with these machines all the time. They're the best and nobody touches you, all done via a convenient laser scanner. So far there was never an indication of cancer or other personal flaws on my receipts, so that's very re-assuring. What I don't understand though is that I have to pay a different price every time I check out on these. Never understood that.
Using self-scan cannot guarantee zero interaction anymore --- not since the introduction of random staff re-scans to check you haven't "forgotten" to scan something. And if you have, that interaction will become even longer as they slowly and carefully scan every.single.item in your trolley 😫🤣
Boycott self checkout. I tried it once, required a giant eagle advantage card. I dont have one so i couldn't buy food. I just threw everything on the floor and left. Ring up my items or im not paying.🤬🍻

What about the people who are shit hot at it? Those who are so afraid of humans that they have mastered the machines.
Cherry blossoms fall.
Unexpected item
In bagging area.
Holy fuck. Frankie was in Firhouse. Incredible
It's now two hours after I watched this vid and I still see Your sweaters zig zag
Self check out - self checked out - self alienated
Again with this guy 😂
Self-checkouts are horror for introverts.
You are being watched by store clerk. In case of error, machine will scream and publicly announce what you're too stupid to buy bread, milk, vegetables and meat.
Where is the music from?

That one kid seemed like he was trying so hard to win the Oscars haha I love him

Please do one on people who takes FOREVER at the bank's the teller windows 😔
Old people oblivious to anyone other than themselves usually, that annoys me aswell. Especially when they do it standing there all confident without acknowledging anyone waiting behind them and then whenever they're finished they always think of something else to ask the receptionist and stand there for god knows how long
Ha what’s a bank 😂
I laughed out loud at the title already 😆
I might look like I'm struggling, but I'm actually scamming.
It's a win win. The supermarket loses less from theft than it would from employing people, and we get free food
I LOVE your video style
I can't fuckinf breathe. 😂 Thank you buddy. ❤
How does he know all those secrets?
My man is propably active in every subculture or the most successful antropologist.
I'm checking myself out with these machines all the time. They're the best and nobody touches you, all done via a convenient laser scanner.
So far there was never an indication of cancer or other personal flaws on my receipts, so that's very re-assuring.
What I don't understand though is that I have to pay a different price every time I check out on these. Never understood that.
Using self-scan cannot guarantee zero interaction anymore --- not since the introduction of random staff re-scans to check you haven't "forgotten" to scan something. And if you have, that interaction will become even longer as they slowly and carefully scan every.single.item in your trolley 😫🤣
Why did this make me cry? 😢😢😅😂
Boycott self checkout. I tried it once, required a giant eagle advantage card. I dont have one so i couldn't buy food. I just threw everything on the floor and left. Ring up my items or im not paying.🤬🍻
The accuracy tho.
I still have never done it. Hope to never do.
Brilliant
It's the equivalent of 'You Died' in game of course.
anyone know what music this is?
Beautiful
