Definitely hate the fucking things.  They never work, you have to search forever to find the 4 digit number regarding produce.  Most of the time the item that you thought was on sale will not ring up that way.  It's not an express lane when there is a line backed up into the aisles.

And they are absolutely terrifying whilst tripping.  All 6 checkout machines blabbering at the same time.  It sounded like an alien language when all I wanted was my Odwalla drink.  Took 10 minutes to pay for it...and that was while a bald guy with a swastika tattooed on his forehead was hovering over my shoulder waiting for me to hurry up...  :crankey:

I use the automated checkout religously. Nobody else does, and theres always a line of 4-5 people at the checkouts. Fuck that. It takes like, 30 seconds and you literally have to be a retard to mess it up.

Scan your shit.
Put it in the the bag.
Repeat cart is empty.
Put money in slot.

Where the fuck are you guys getting hung up here?

I use them whenever available. I never seem to have a problem with them. Its not rocket science, just some common sense. Its usually some idiot in front of me that isn't as smart as the checkout machine that causes a problem! But if I can walk right up and use it I'll be done faster then going to a cashier every time.

I think they help things get done faster sometimes.

A few sucky things about them are some old computer illiterate or slow person will be in front of you a lot of times and take forever. They end up having to ask for help 10 times.
I hate how if you don't place something down right, it will say please wait for assistance, and a person has to come over and reset the thing.

it's really easy to pull the buy one get 3 free discount. Scan one thing then throw like 4 in the bag, just saved 30 bucks.. if someone says something, just claim it was a mistake.

Since I personally have worked at a place that had one of these, it is the most anoying thing in the fucking world. There was a system crash atleast once a week and all 4 of the fucking customers can't be patient..... ahhhhh just kills me. Then sitting there listening to that same voice over and over. In english and spanish(I used to have it memerized.)

Ohhhh and the PLU(I think that is what they are called) Is usually shown on a sticker or on the outside of pakage.

Sometimes they don't have it and you have to ask (We memorized most of them).

the mine at my local store works great. really speeds things up, plus i can't get angry with anyone but myself if something goes wrong with the checkout process.

I must be an idiot or something. I swear to God that I follow all of the instructions perfectly and the things still always fuck up for me.

Yeah, they really suck at the supermarket by me.  It always tells me to rescan the item, or take the item out of the bag, blah blah blah!!! and no matter what I do, its still confused, and I have to wait for an assistant. I swear I'm not retarded, either :wink:  It's convenient when you have like a few things and there are lines in the regular checkout.  But if I've got a ton of stuff, I'm going to the regular checkout line.

When they work, if they work, they are ok. Of course, I believe I should be given a price break for using one, even just a 5% discount or something.

I use them like an ATM. Buy 4 candy bars, withdrawl $400.

My biggest complaint is that they only serve $10 bills! :mad2:

One time I actually stood there and filled my pockets with $1500 in $10 bills. I just kept scanning candy bars and hitting $100 cash back. After the 15th time I ran the thing out of money! It accepted the transaction but couldn't complete it. No one knew what the fuck to do, and eventually a manager came and told the cashier to give me $100 from her register just to get me taken care of. hahaha Then I noticed he just closed that register :lol:

I've never had any problems with them, and I use them whenever possible.
