How often do you

Use the self scanners in the stores..My supermarket is always pushing it..I'm not a s company employee! While they have a cashier(arms folder) watching what goes over the scanner.

I have trouble getting them to "help" bag my groceries( I have servere shoulder problems)..I always ask before putting my stuff on the belt..One day the girl say "no"..I let her ring everything up and then told her I didn't want it!..So she had to get a manager..he bagged the stuff for me..Never saw the girl again.

I usually get an annoyed look..I tell them I do not work or get paid from the store to work...

I always try to bag the fragile stuff myself...don't get me wrong...a lot of the cashiers do help bag.

They do not bag the items in the self check out line. I once asked for a bag and the worker just pointed to a stack of bags on a table. I needed to get my own and bag my own items.

Walk out the store after bypassing the scanners.

That'll get their attention. 😂

Self check and bagging my own is fine for a few items. CostCo has a cashier and will box in your cart. WinCo has a cashier and you bag your own. They all work for me.

I use it every time I shop unless I am buying a gift card then I want them to do it and I get the gift receipt confirming the gift card is good. I do not have any health issues so bagging my own and taking the load to my car is not a problem, yet.

I use the self scanner and bring my own bags. Usually there is no line and I bag my groceries the way I want them bagged. No unnecessary chatting with cashiers at the checkout. If I do use the checkout I still bag my own groceries in my own bags. Then again, I have no medical issues. There are a few grocery stores here that automatically bag groceries for you which is where to shop if you have dexterity issues.

At our local Jewel supermarket we always scan and bag our items ourselves. It's faster. Just wish they would give a discount for doing so!

At Trader Joe's cashier scans and we bag although he/she would bag for us without a problem.

Guess it depends where you shop.

I use them 100% of the time that the store has them.

I much, much prefer to scan and bag my purchases myself.

I seek out and prefer locations that have them. I love them.

Most recently I just used them at Target, Wegmans and CVS.

You mean the self checkout? I use it a lot. I mostly buy a few items and it gets me out of the store quickly. I don't mind it. The more you use it the easier it gets.
