It's not hard. You fucking don't take your bag off the sensor plate until you've completed the transaction. You dont fucking grab your bag and try to hold it while you pay and then balk when the terminal asks you to put your products back in your bag. It isn't actually ASKING you to even put the stuff in the bag, its asking you to PUT THE BAG BACK. Scan your items one at a time, passing each item into the bag once you see the terminal has accepted the scan. Dont shove it in real quick then stand there looking at the terminal as you attempt to scan a new item as it tells you to rescan the old one.
Lastly, keep that wrinkled up wad of ONES at home. If youre gonna self checkout for the love of god, bring your debit card. If the MACHINE doesnt want your money, NO ONE DOES.

I bring a jar of pennies every time I go shopping to piss retailers off.

I hate people that buy alcohol at self checkout lanes. GO TO A MANNED REGISTER BITCH! WHAT'S THE POINT?!

I buy alcohol at self checkout sometimes. However, I'm always quick to offer my ID to the overseer. Our self-checkouts usually have one person for like 6 lanes. It's so much quicker at self checkout if you only have an item or two. However, later at night, when the manned registers are open, I'll go there and let someone else bag my groceries.
The one problem for self checkout, is like MAF said. They treat it like a goddamn calculus problem. I will avoid any self checkout where the person is above 40. At that age, it's too old for those guys to learn new tricks. Other than the fuckers who shouldn't use it, self checkout is the shit. It also gets a plus for being "too intimidating," usually leading to much shorter lines. If I'm getting more than about 10 items though, no way I go through self checkout.
The biggest problem, like in most other areas of society, is that there is no more fucking common courtesy.

Man if you get self-checkout down you can be through so fast.

In and out, just like I like it.

I've gotten beer for free using self check out. Along with other things. Like i'd forget easily that i need to scan a item twice if i have two of them in my cart big items so i just use one. I'll forget and usually get it for free.

I hate when people have a cart full of stuff and can't get it to work. No love for those people!
I'm a fan of them myself, though, the self checkouts. The only problem I ever have is sometimes when I buy scrapbooking stuff and the like, the items are too light for the thing to register and it thinks I'm stealing.

I hate self check out. It wouldn't take my cash, and it wasn't even that wrinkled. :'(

Automated checkouts do take away people's jobs. What's so wrong with going through a line? Some of them are glitchy. I used one at Wal-Mart once, and it just decided to stop scanning stuff. I asked the front end manager person if I was doing anything wrong, and she said no, it just completely glitched. She had to reset it.

You can't fight the automated checkout. This thing won't stop running. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or sadness, and it absolutely will not stop EVER! Until you are dead!

Actually automated check-outs are there to deal with an increase of customers the building itself cannot accomodate. If your theories about MEXICAN AUTOMATED CHECKOUTS crossing the border and stealing jobs from hard-working americans WERE true, they wouldnt shut them down after prime-time shopping hours in most locations.
Despite the disdain for them, if they were removed you'd see all those customers from self-checkout hit the regular lines and OMG you guys would bitch. Think a few feet from your nose everyone.

KICK IT IN THE BALLS
Speaking of that article, I was reading the Burnout Revenge case and it was formatted the same way:
AGGRESSION IS THE KEY TO PROGRESSION *groan*
UNLEASH THE FURY IN THE ALL-NEW TRAFFIC ATTACK MODE.
EVERY CAR IS A POTENTIAL WEAPON.
SHUNT, CRASH, SLAM ON TRACKS DESIGNED FOR BATTLING AND TAKEDOWNS.
TAKE YOUR REVENGE ONLINE.
REVOLUTIONIZED CRASH MODE EXPLODES!

I need a recap, because I don't really know what this thread is about anymore. Something about immigrant Mexican Terminators that can transform into automated cash registers.
halp plz
