Do you use the self-checkouts at supermarkets or other stores?
Do you use the self-checkouts at supermarkets or other stores? What do you like or dislike about them?
DEANNA CARTER, Trotwood: “Yes. I can get through the line quicker. But I don’t like it when the price isn’t in accordance with what it should be, and I have to call for help.”
DIANA HARRIS, Tipp City: “I do. The lines are shorter, and usually it’s quicker. But sometimes they don’t do what they’re supposed to do. You’ll scan something and it will say ‘put it in the bag,’ and then it’ll say ‘wait for assistance.’ “
BILL SKUDLAREK, Miamisburg: “I use it most of the time when it’s available, because it quite often is shorter to check out than waiting in some of the other lines. The thing I don’t like about it is that sometimes there’s a problem with the scanning, or the sensor doesn’t pick up the lightweight items.”
DAVE QUARLES, Huber Heights: “Yes. It’s convenient and quick. But some people shouldn’t be allowed to use them — those who don’t understand the technology and constantly have to have an attendant come over and help them.”
DANIELLE HYDE, Trotwood: “I use them because I can get through the line quicker. They only thing I don’t like is that, when you need help, it takes forever for someone to come by.”
DON COAKLEY, New Jasper Twp.: “All the time, because the lines are shorter and quicker and most people tend to avoid them, so it gets you out quicker.”
