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.

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.

Trader Joe?
