    I don’t mind there being a self-checkout, but for the love of everything good in this world, these companies need to stop asking 21 questions when you use one! “Do you want to apply to a credit card?”, “Do you want to donate?”, “Did you want a receipt emailed?”, “Did you want to fill out a survey?”, “How many bags did you use?”, etc.

    And if it’s a self-checkout at Walmart, expect to have 10 available, but only 2 working and three staff overlooking them…

      Ironically, the local Walmart has been closing them all later in the day so that people must use cashier’s, presumably due to increased theft etc

      At the self-checkout at the Walmart near me a little man would go around asking if we want to save on groceries by signing up for their credit card.

      The fourth or fifth trip there that he did this I had to get a bit ruder until he finally grabbed the self-checkout and clicked the credit card opt-in and I had to tell him to fuck off. He acted shocked but dude I go to self-checkout to avoid human interaction, not be sold a bullshit credit card only a teenager would fall for.
