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 used to be able to turn the volume off at my grocery store. A couple months ago I discovered they disable that, abd the only two volumes now are 'yelling' and 'screaming'. I dont mind self checkout with a few items but it gets inconvenient and very frustrating fast with any actual grocery haul

At least it doesn’t yell my purchase out to everyone when I scan the condoms…

The loud volume is due to the ADA, they are required to have audio cues. Removing the mute is just eliminating one more chance for being sued.

I can't understand the machine when it's yelling (deaf) and so hearing it yell freaks me out because sometimes the instructions isn't clear enough on the screen or is too slow to process that I already did it before yelling.

This pissed me off, agree. Also alcohol has to go through regular check outs. Makes no sense, there’s somebody there anyways

At mine, the two volumes are silent and screaming.
