Can we talk about how when shopping for food to cook there’s no FUCKING room to bag FUCKING anything on these things?
>>22002290Skill issue. I'd like to talk about Walmart's self checkout using AI to speed up shoppers. When I put a bag of things on the scale and tap "lookup item" it 9.5 times out of 10 correctly identifies what I've set down there. It also scans my face likely as fraud protection, but likely keeps it in a gay little file on their servers.
>>22002290YesIt’s fucking annoyingAlso, the stores that offer self-checkout with the long belts spaz out about the weight everything you put a product on it.I’ve started using the cashiers again unless it’s actually just a couple of items. It’s kinda nice
>>22002293Not reading beyond the first two words. Suck my dick.
skill issue
Rule of thumb is if you have more than 3 or 4 items just go to the human checkout, ESPECIALLY if you have booze or anything of that nature, otherwise enjoy standing there for 45 minutes looking for a zoomer to authorize the transaction while they type your personal details into their spyware system
Don't they have some "I don't want to bag this item" thingy to tap on the filthy, shit-encrusted touchscreens?Just tap that and bag in your trolley, ya dingus.
>>22002300Grandpa, thats some strange head canon you're telling. They have PDAs that can authorize it remotely if you look old enough.
>>22002310you have clearly never used self checkout and rely entirely on mommy to buy tendies for you
>>22002311>PDAAnd you're calling me the grandpa, lmao. Let me guess you still call them "smart phones" too?
>>22002312I rarely use self checkout and I haven't had "tendies" in over twenty years kiddo. Might have been as far back as the 90s. Y'know. Before you were born.Nonetheless, the few times I've used it, there was absolutely an option for "I don't want to bag this item" as well as one for "I removed an item or bag" if you take something out of the bagging area. Maybe it's only certain chains that have it. I don't know. I just use the normal, human-run tills.
>>22002327>>22002310This. How the fuck else After you supposed to get 50lb bags of dog food or cases of whatever? Just click "skip bagging", you fucking retards.
>>22002327>kiddoMad.
>>22002290>>22002295>retards go into the express checkout (10 items or fewer) area with a full cart>"REEEEEEEEEEE THERE'S NO ROOM TO BAG MY CART FULL OF FROZEN FOOD THIS IS THE STORE'S FAULT I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT"this is what an average American education gets you
>>22002340There’s one regular manned check out and there’s 3 old cunts in line there with full sized carts of food AND they’re all using coupons. I’m not waiting there with my mini cart of food.
>>22002290>Can we talk about how when shopping for food to cook there’s no FUCKING room to bag FUCKING anything on these things?THIS x1000God I though I was the only one having to play tetris with the checkout tray and my shopping cart for bag space.
You can take the bags off it and put them into your cart.
>>22002348No. You can’t.
>>22002349I guess it depends on the store, but both Walmart and Kroger here will let you. You can even scan things without taking them out of your cart which is nice for bulky items.
>>22002293I have no idea what youre talking about with anything you said
>>22002356He’s mentally ill, ignore him.
>>22002293>It also scans my facewear a mask
>>22002336That you never noticed the "I don't want to bag this item" thingy? Yeah. You sure are. >>22002334>>22002351Exactly. >>22002349Like the other two guys said, how are you expected to put a 50lb dog food bag on a walled scale the size of a dinner plate and put your additional purchases on top of it? There's got to be some "I don't want to bag this item" option. OP's whole premise is imaginary. It's a non-issue. Or, in OP's case, a naan-issue.
>>22002310>>22002334>>22002383Even in the low crime suburb I’m in, doing that more than once triggers the fucking observer to come over and put a code in to confirm you’re not stealing
>>22002378>>22002356No, he's right. I shop at a different store and the few times I've used self checkout, the screens actively display a feed of the cameras (there are multiple) scanning both your face and the contents of your trolley. One even stopped me from tapping "finish and pay" for about a minute because it detected my gym bag in the trolley and asked if I was sure I scanned everything, displaying the feed of the trolley and my unscanned bag. After that minute passed, it let me tap "yes" and proceed to pay and GTFO.I've also seen stores where cameras at the entrance scan faces as shoppers enter. In fact, a friend of mine, a security guard at a supermarket, told me that he caught a guy as he was coming in yesterday because the cameras flagged him as [insert name here] (yes, he told me the guy's name) who was already banned from the store for minor theft in the past (chicken drumsticks down his pants and a stick of deodorant in his pocket).The guy said "I didn't know I was banned" and my buddy was like yeah, nah, leave or management will press charges for trespassing.They absolutely do use AI and facial recognition these days.
>>22002290Self-check-out = 10 items or lessAnything else = scanners or cashiers
>>22002340Hey faggotThe space pictured can be taken up easily by one gallon of milk. How many items is that? One gallon of milk?
>>22002399what the fuck is a gallon
>>22002380cant. the bootlickers who inhabit walmart will start having mental breakdowns in the aisles as i pass, screeching about personal freedoms with tears in their eyes.
>>22002400This thread is for Americans. Dirty third worlders aren’t allowed.
>>22002408Do it anyway, pussy.
>>22002342>know the correct solution>choose to be a retard anywaylike i said: American education. also most likely a Trump voter
>>22002484The correct solution is to wait for 3 retards?
>>22002485ok at this point you have to be underage and as such you need to cease using this website or else i will be contacting your ISP which will then contact your parents and inform them of this
>>22002290don't know never use them
>>22002498You didn’t answer my question or say anything related to this thread, food, or cooking.
>>22002498
what the fuck is wrong with you retards, you bag it and put it back in the cart. nobody ever hassles me about it and the clerk only gets called over if the machine thinks i missed scanning something (like if i scan one item twice then put the other identical item straight into the bag from the cart)don't tell me you people shop like EBT urbanites and drag three heaping-full carts around the store>>22002327imagine being slower checking yourself out than the stoned teenagers manning the cash registersmaybe nobody gives a shit what you're doing all day, but people who matter have shit to do and Yolanda isn't getting me out of the store faster than I get myself out>>22002340those are not the express checkouts, anon, the normal self-checkouts all look like that at Walmart>>22002349the only place i know of that does this is a very small regional grocer which added self-checkouts as an express-only option. their system spergs out completely if you take anything off the scale-platform next to the scanner so I just don't use them there unless I only have a basket>>22002380better make it a rubber obama mask, your bone structure is unique and AI absolutely can identify you, especially from as close as the self-checkout camalso don't forget that your thefts absolutely will be tallied across time and Walmart et all will wait til you've stolen enough to cross the threshold for a serious theft charge and then have you arrested once you've taken enough rope to hang yourselfif you're going to be black about it, at least be a smart little pickaninny and tabulate your thieving so you don't steal more than the limit for larceny from one retail chain in a year.
>>22002548You’re wrong.
>>22002400she's on my cock right about now
>>22002551k
They would prefer you not have enough items to make space an issue. Also some union stores will enforce 10 items or less policies to comply with the UFCW's demand to protect cashier hours. Nevermind that there are hardly any cashiers at all.
>>22002548>those are not the express checkouts, anon, the normal self-checkouts all look like that at Walmartno they aren't you stupid fucking retard. that's the express area that was EXPRESSLY made for people with a handful of items. you want to checkout a shopping cart of items? go to the lanes with the dedicated wagies. holy shit why is this so hard to convey?
>>22002603There is only one lane with a dedicated employee, and there’s 3 old people in line there with full carts and they’re all using coupons. I’m not waiting for that.
>>22002290Its to stop thieves like you
>>22002394I live in a very low trust area and I have no problem. You must just be brown or something.
>>22002400>Anon is from the savage lands of Not-America>Bitches about American terms and units of measurement because he's a filthy remnant of the caveman times where America did not exist>Demands that civilization un-civilize itself to conform to his subhuman termsIts a gallon, you faggot.

>>22002380Jogger detected
>>22002548>Yolanda isn't getting me out of the store faster than I get myself outWhat does that have to do with the post you're replying to, retard? Guy days he doesn't use self checkout. He didn't say anything about it being about speed. He implied he's a germophobe.
>>22002621Most US measures existed long before the USA and are a product of the founding fathers being francophiles. They had ordered a set of metric standards with full intent to switch the US to metric but the ship sank and then the civil war distracted everyone.
>>22002290because those are supposed to be for shoppers that just forgot to grab the garlic, not full grocery shopping.you are still required to interact with the ugly girl behind the register, anon.no free rides.
>>22002654There’s only one manned check out lane.
>>22002658that's fine, you know your lonely ass ain't got nowhere to be.
>>22002665It does have somewhere to be. Anywhere but the grocery store. You’re not actually solving the problem, you’re just being a cock.
Reminder that only slaves use self-checkout.
>>22002677>t.
>>22002400A large boat (L) (S in america)
>>22002290dont have this problem in uk. every self checkout has space on the left for basket and space on the right for bagging
>>22002677Or maybe I don't want a wagie manhandling my groceries with his unwashed hands?
I switched to aldi for everything that's available at aldi. The walmart self-checkout shit means you're constantly subsidizing thieves and that makes me buttrage
self checkout is for small and little items.
>>22002732>I switched to aldi for everything that's available at aldi.a sound decision
>>22002750Then why is there only one manned checkout lane open?
>>22002766Most people are too poor to buy more than 10 items
>>22002673>It does have somewhere to beit does not and you fucking know it.>You’re not actually solving the problemthere is no problem.
>>22002787The problem is there’s not enough room to bag anything at the self check out.
>>22002766Either the store is economizing their personnel hours due to lack of holiday or festivities, they can't or won't hire more people due to low budget, they're not training more cashiers because nobody wants to be a cashier (because customers treat them like shit), or the other scheduled cashiers called off en masse (it happens). Also managers can't order someone to open a check stand if they haven't received cashier training. No employee can be forced to be a cashier and anybody can intentionally fail the assessments if cashier training is compulsory.
>>22002805Ok. So I have to use the self checkout. There’s not enough room to bag my groceries at the self checkout.
>>22002617No, apparently they just care about stealing unlike your area>>22002548If you remove a bag it doesn't trigger an alert?
>>22002842It does trigger an alert.
>>22002943The interruption of the alert enrages me
Read between the lines, anon.They want to destroy your relationship with food and they attempt to do so through any means possible.That means food has power. Celebrate the good and reject the bad. Leave nothing for the dinks.
>>22002954I think they're just maximizing customer output at the inconvenience of the customer because they know we will all continue to shop since we all need food and they've monopolized the market pretty well.
>>22002310Meijer has an option of using your phone to ring up items as soon as you put them in your cart. Checkout is just you paying the balance due. But you have to sign up to use it so they have the ability to track you down if they find out you've been cheating.
>>22002290lol dumb boomer can't figure out self scan
>>22003097Yeah, that’s what it is. Now here, put your entire cart of groceries on this table. If you take anything off you have to stop until some underpaid schmuck comes over to press a button.
>>22002290The answer is right in front of you.I don't remember ever leaving a Walmart without a 4 year old throwing a tantrum because they were refused the airheads candy at the checkout.
They want you to use online ordering and pickup.
>>22002993Yeah, a few local supermarkets in my area do, too. It uses special carts fitted with cameras. You can just walk right out with it and it automatically charges your credit card or digital wallet for the stuff you put in the cart. Not sure how it works for produce.
>>22002979Goddamit shit for brains, you just agreed with me and you don't even know it.
>>22003105What are you buying that's too big to fit in a bag? Also bagging is OPTIONAL.
>>22003140Dog food, kitty litter and one pack of American-sized Tshirts
>>22002777truthnuke and trips
These are for people buying 3-4 bags worth of itemsif you roll up to these with a full cart it's your own dumb ass fault
>>22003140Enough food for the entire week.
>>22003176Thereisonlyonemannedcheckoutlaneopen.
>>22003126I said a similar thing with less faggotry, yes
>>22003124Meijer has a weighing station in the produce department, which then displays a QR code you scan. Same for loose bakery items.
>>22002603my brother in christ, i am faster than the wagies. i'm not wasting time while kadir tumbles my box of cheerios around looking for the barcode. yes it is a gargantuan inconvenience to have to scan and bag my own groceries but it is still less of a humiliation ritual than having to stand there while some lifelong welfare recipient demonstrates exactly how wasted my tax dollars are on public educationat least when i feed the goybox $21.50 on a $16.48 purchase, i don't have to walk it through basic fucking math to get correct change.
>>22002677slaves do what other men tell themi do what i please, and am thus free
>>22002777bullshit, i see global southerners with carts heaped over the top three deep going straight on the bread card
>>22002842not where i livegranted, flyover shithole, still largely whitei go through the manned lanes at the regional grocery chain which i do the majority of my purchasing at because they have a practice of opening checkout lanes to meet demand on very short notice. the self checkouts there do have a weight alarm, but they are very clearly marked for express use.at Walmarts and other national retailers in my area, the self checkouts are that size, are not marked for express use and do not have a weight alarm that's triggered.you may live in a more crime ridden shithole than i do, which is probably the case if you get an alarm when you remove a bag from the bagging area
>>22003105>>22003155I guarantee you don't live in a more ghetto shithole than I do so how exactly does your walmart not have scan guns at the checkout?
>>22003337you prolly still got them wired huhcrackheads be stealing them wireless ones for less copper than they get out a penny
>>22003335My city is on this list
>>22003204what's your rush?
>>22002603I don't recall Walmart ever having a 10 items or less policy at SCO. When they're packed they send you to a manned checkout if you're paying with cash. How quickly you wish to gfo depends on you: don't pile on a bunch of shit if you wanna be out of there quickly.
>>22003289lmaoI've been using those as just regular ol' scales since I don't use the digital spycarts. Was wondering ytf it thinks I would need a QR code lol >>22002805>Also managers can't order someone to open a check stand if they haven't received cashier trainingWhat sort of magical candy fluff nonsense world do you live in? I worked at a store in high school and I started as a stockmonkey but the store had a policy of everyone doing everything so my second day, I was out on the till without training and just told to figure it out, which I did because I'm not a room temperature IQ retard. "Training" to run a register lmao
>>22003659>What sort of magical candy fluff nonsense world do you live in?The one in which I worked in a store for five years.>I was out on the till without training...What company allows this? I know Kroger doesn't. Savant or not, they consider that a liability.
>>22003663PetSmart.
>>22002293I always wonder if the scanner can detect that my normal cabbage is actually savoy or that I'm ringing up my apples as another variety because there's no option for cosmic crisp and entering unknown PLUs triggers a wagie event. Not a giant globohomo chain, so maybe not but I fold the bag around the contents to obscure them anyway.
>>22003675>unknown PLUs triggers a wagie eventLet them handle that and be liable for any fuck ups.
>>22003678I don't want to deal with or wait on them, hence I go to the self checkout
>>22002290I don't use self checkout on principle. It takes jobs away from people and I enjoy the human contact when a clerk decides to chat about something.Though maybe they are an advantage in places with Indian infestations.
>>22003786>when a clerk decides to chat about somethinI'm not here to chat, I'm here to pay for my stuff and leave.
>>22003795I like going to TJs because of all the transgender and nonbinary girls working as clerks being forced to smile and make small talk with me. I know they get fired if they don't but they're getting paid and it's not like I'm sexually harassing themNot racist like the other guy though, the indian clerks at HMart are nice too
>>22002293>but likely keeps it in a gay little file on their servers.it absolutely builds a profile on you and what you buy
>>22003368yeah but you're brown so it all evens out in the end>b-but i'm wh-phoneposters are brown until proven otherwise
>>22003886That means you are brown too
Self-checkouts are a soft form of antiboomer gatekeeping. So for that they have my seal of approval
>>22002548>you bag it and put it back in the cart.Nope you cant do that. It screams at you to put it back on the scale.
>>22003916Maybe in whatever crime-ridden hellhole you live but in good areas, it doesn't do that, as exemplified by multiple people saying so ITT multiple times. Sorry you live in Kleptoberg, Thiefy McStealsalot.
>>22003897>n-no u!yup, definitely brown
The last few posters are an odious bunch. Pretty awful.
>>22003919I'm trying to move out of here, man. Just let me work my magic
>>22003919Anecdotal evidence but based on my experiences shopping for groceries in NYC this is not correlated to how "good" the area is, in fact the Fairway checkout in the white neighborhood is far more uptight about it than the Whole Foods checkout in the black neighborhood. Guessing you're going to move the goalposts now so proceed as indicated.
>>22003919I live in a very crime-ridden hellhole (there was a cop posted up by the self checkout when I went yesterday in fact) and I can remove the bags no problem or scan bulky items directly in my cart. I think these anons may be mentally challenged or "baiting" as the kids say these days.
>>22002290Couldn't say, I don't use self checkout because I don't work for the store. Wagies that work for them get to ring up the sale and bag my shit for me. If the store ever wants to give me a percentage discount, then I'll consider ringing it up, bagging, and putting my cart in the return area.
>>22003929Just the last? This is the most shitheaded board of all
>>22003886When you’re not a 22 year old jobless faggot living in their mom’s house you can’t sit at your computer all day.
>>22003967You haven't been to many boards then. Try /fa/ or /k/
>>22003916I've never seen walmart self-checkout have scales, but kroger does.
>>22003934There’s no way that stores could have different regional procedures or different procedures at different vendors.Everyone experiences the same thing i do.Must be bait
>>22002293>It also scans my faceUnironically literally 1984
>>22003934Im not baiting. I can go to shoprite right now and take a can off the scanner and it will tell me to put it back.
>>22003982Of course he's baiting and he's a fucking idiot. Absolutely braindead. And a colossal faggot.
>>22003978/fa/ and /adv/ are terrible. The mods are very also very trigger happy with the ban button, they will ban you just for disliking your posts, so I stopped using them. /ck/ imo is one of the funniest boards and I know this has been discussed before but as far as successful "well adjusted" people on 4chan go this one of the better boards. I'm not American so never browsed /k/ much.
>>22002548>what the fuck is wrong with you retards, you bag it and put it back in the cart. nobody ever hassles me about it and the clerk only gets called over if the machine thinks i missed scanning somethingThis is store dependent. Most self checkouts will shriek and wail if you do that.
>>22004047/ck/ is pretty ban-happy too relative to a lot of boards, but the community stupidity is more old school, early 4chan "being retarded to be funny" stupidity, /fa/ and /k/ are aggressive stupidity and weirdly angry all the time. I've definitely gotten bans here just because a janny didn't agree with me, but you can post a thread and mostly discuss food. on /k/ every thread ends up getting turned into an irrelevant shitposting party bitching about india/iran/china/brown people, /fa/ is mostly neckbeards trying to larp as sophisticated old money aristocrats and schizos fighting over grudges they've forgotten about but they can somehow identify each other by posting style alone and they will fight ALL DAY about the most obscure board meta-drama. you haven't seen permanently online until you've tried to make sense of a /fa/ watch thread
>>22003995And I can go to ShopRite, remove an entire bag from the bagging area and the most it will do is flash a button on the screen for "I removed an item or bag" for me to hit before continuing as normal. >>22004004Ewe arr knotberries mart.>>22003933No need to move goalposts since nothing you said contradicted anything I said. Unless you think majority white Kensington, Philadelphia is better than whatever majority black area this Whole Foods you're talking about is in.
>>22004055>/ck/ too is pretty ban heavyMaybe it's because I've been on here for a bit but I can't remember the last time I got banned. I suppose learning to "understand" note not "respect" board culture helps a lot to avoid the ban hammer. /fa/ would ban me for writing "gibberish" low quality posts just because I didn't fit in with the weirdos on there. I think I made a thread about where to get skate brand skinny jeans since most brands in the last few years don't make super skinny ones any longer and it ticked off the mods for some arbitrary reason, almost like they're allergic to actual serious fashion threads. I also speculate if mods/jannies notice you're a regular from your IP address/writing style they'll leave you alone but if you go to a new board they'll be very happy to ban you for no reason whatsoever. >this board is more "retarded to be funny"Myeah, I tend to look for boards like this. The boards with higher % of Millennials tend to be like this and the more zoomer/female populated ones can be pure cancer. /int/ is another shitty one for me because I come from a very small country so it's easy for people to single me out in other threads if I "PWNED" them in an argument earlier that day. I also learned to stop using the word "sandnigger" in my posts after getting my umpteenth racism ban lol I also heard there used to be a mod on here a few years ago that would remove EVERY thread criticizing/making fun of Asian cuisine roflmao

>>22004128> Aldi Must depend on the region, it’s definitely the best prices on meats and grass fed meats. Sometimes Kroger beats them with BOGO chicken sales but in general their base price is lowest in my area.Especially for cheese tooTheir off brand stuff is sometimes shitty though
>>22004138>it’s definitely the best prices on meats and grass fed meatsIt absolutely is not. There's no reason to go there nowadays except for their frozen corn and frozen mixed veg.I just got 4,25ish lbs of pork chops for under $1.50 by combining a sale ($1.99/lb) with a coupon ($7 off any meat purchase). Aldi doesn't do coupons. I also got 5+ lbs of ground beef for $15.45 ($2.99/lb). It's over $4/lb at Aldi. Chicken breast is on sale for $1.97 but it's $2.19 at Aldi. Lamb is more expensive there, too. All hail Safeway.
>>22004122I remember when the store I worked at had a bird infestation and customers were too dumb to care. Product cases and refrigerated products displayed were covered in bird shit. People still bought it. Always buy off the shelf, by the way.
>>22004128>brainpoor didn't get my witty comment
>>22004112Yeah the janny is really thin skinned about asia stuff. In a wine thread a while back /ck/ was incredulous that south-east asia could be a relevant wine market, I posted picrel reminding them that certain south-east asians know enough about wine to run circles around westoid "experts", BOOM insta-ban because I used a spicy wordI think it might be a western-born asian who grew up getting bullied by whites and has unresolved trauma over that. There used to be a corny web comic that got posed regularly, on the topic of filipino food getting popular, and it would never stay up for more than a couple of hours because it touched a raw nerve with someoneAnyway I guess I'll be taking a vacation from /ck/ soon, see you in a week or so
>>22002290Try not living in a shithole country, faggot.
>>22004298Someone posted it and it's still up several hours later >>22003908 so the old janny must be gone
here mudslimes touch/squeeze all the fruit, veggies and bread items but there is enough space for your basket + a decent size bag
>>22002603Anon this is the big 26. There are no more lanes with dedicated wagies. Most Walmarts are self checkout only except for the customer service counter where you can buy cigarettes and lottery but they won't scan your groceries there. Welcome to hell.

>>22005215Okay, so you'll intentionally misunderstand what I said, then pretend "PDA" doesn't mean exactly 1 of 2 things to generally describe something to 99.99% of people. You're so clever, and you'll get a lot of positive karma on this website using that tactic.
>>22005240Grandpa, 99.99% of people think "PDA" means two people being inappropriately intimate in front of others. Yes, there is another definition in the dictionary referring to a specific kind of consumer product that existed in a specific point in history but that isn't meaningful to the vast majority of humans who were not white collar gen X with a passing interest in consumer electronics. It's a tablet or a scanner, those are the words you're looking for. You're welcome.
