We'll, I'd like a high paying job with little effort, who doesn't? I've seen otherwise intelligent people reduced to near tears by those things. Learning by other's misfortune, I stay away. Every one of those things replaces a human being. That Human being is now unemployed. Same with busing your own table at fast food joints. They says it's to keep prices down . Bfreakin'S! It's to increase profit. When they put me on the payroll, then I'll work for them.

Don't like'em no matter what the store.

If everyone refuses to use them they will go away!!! I for one practice this policy and feel everyone should complain when there's not enough help to cash you out!!! Pretty soon they won't even accept cash, just credit then we're all doomed.
Remember when they used to count your cash back to you instead of handing you what the register says to give you!!

I never use those stupid machines. They take more time than going to a cashier..blow em up!

Can't Friggin' stand'em. Everytime I try to use them I end up having to ask for help and feel like an idiot

[reelecstasy]

As a proud union worker, I will never ever use one of those friggin self check out bs machines...and I make it known when i walk by them and someone is about to use one.......

You shiould get a discount when you use them.

I always seem to end up at Homeys when there is litereally ONE REGISTER open, and 8 people in line, so I HAVE to use them for my 1 roll duct tape or whatever small items.Otherwise I would just walk out and I guess they know that.
However at the Grocery store, NEVER in a million years, the girls at the market are SO friendly these days, that I would feel like im cheating on them .
I hate those machines, they offer you NOTHING whatsoever.
Didnt Kmart completely get rid of them in all their stores ? cause their average customer can barely figure out how to use the automatic doors in the right direction, never mind a "com-pooter".

Raven,
My point was job loss, how many jobs did atm's claim.

[TheSpecialist]

If I have a few items I use em. How do they differ from an ATM?

Tellers don't work past 5pm generally. Thats was the original idea of them, off hour banking... But I see your point, I was'nt old enough to understand the impact of them at the time they came out, but I can now see the impact of the self check registers.
