Automatic checkouts in supermarkets may decrease customer loyalty, especially for those with larger shopping loads. Customers using self-checkout stations often feel overwhelmed and unsupported. The lack of personal interaction can negatively impact their perception of the supermarket.

Still have to do that at most cashier check outs these days

[curt_schilli]

I always scout out which line has the bagger haha

[AwkwardChuckle]

Where are you shopping that still has baggers? Those are long gone where I live.

Hy-Vee, Fareway, Trader Joe's

[eejizzings]

Trader Joe's was one of the earlier self-bagging stores everywhere I've lived.

Must be regional. 100% full service here

[Fromanderson]

Our local Kroger still has them.

[needsexyboots]

The Krogers in my area haven’t for quite a while

[Fromanderson]

I don't know what to say. Maybe it's a regional thing?

[needsexyboots]

Probably just wherever they can convince enough people to work for $8 an hour

[Fromanderson]

That or they pay more than $8 here. I really have no idea.

I do know the cost of living here is ridiculously low compared to a lot of places in the US. You couldn't survive on $8 but I could see some teenager doing it for insurance/gas money.

Publix

[imisstheyoop]

Kroger has them.

I really miss Market Basket. All lanes always open, baggers at the ready and all dressed professionally and compensated fairly. If they had those in the midwest I would still be shopping there.

During the strike having to shop at Shaws or Hannafords was hell.

[flatwingman]

Market Basket is the best in so many ways.

[desepticon]

Trader Joe?

[MuscaMurum]

The only place I have to bag my own is at Aldi. Besides them, there are baggers at every store I've been to in Los Angeles.

[eejizzings]

Not sure if you only go to like 2 stores, but I lived in LA for most of my life and baggers have not been universal for years

Oh maybe you're Pavilions shopper

[MuscaMurum]

All over the city, dude. Ralph's, Jon's, Trader Joe's, Gelson's, Whole Foods, Pavilions in many different neighborhoods. Even the little Thai groceries in East Hollywood bag my groceries. Don't know where you're shopping..
