Do stores in you area offer self check out?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) January 10th, 2014

Do you use it?
What’s your experience been?

I’m in a fairly rural area, and it seems to have been a mixed reaction here. I live between two small towns, and Walmart in the smaller town was the first to install, first to remove the entire system.

Our Kroger’s had it, but store volume was low, and oftentimes it seemed like the ‘helper’ would have been better spent on another checkout lane.

Now Walmart in the larger town has it, and it’s slick! Since Walmart raised the credit card signing minimum to $100, it’s the fastest way to check out ever.

What’s your take? Do you check yourself out given the option, or is it just too much trouble with produce, coupons and ad specials?
