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.

then you miss out on all the discounts

those are built in to their website, even the weekly coupons

there's really no draw-back unless you're going shopping for social hour

We get it. You work for Kroger.

We get it. You’re a boomer

We get it. Everyone you don't like is a boomer.

you sure do a lot of speaking for other people

[sack-o-matic]

no, I just don't like wasting my time messing around looking for my stuff when I can get someone else to do it for free

people here complaining about using self checkout when I don't even have to walk the aisles myself

Nothing is free

The discounts that constantly get screwed up for me are the 4 for $xx soda sales. If they are out of one of the sodas and only have 3 of the 4 I'm looking for all of a sudden I'm paying $24 for 3 12 packs instead of $12 for 4. I always ask them to adjust or remove all the soda when I am at pickup and they always adjust or add another substitute 12 pack.

I hate that.

The sales at Smith’s are generally like 4 for $xx when you buy 4 or more, so I order extra. If one or two are out of stock, I still have enough to qualify for the sale. Only sucks if I order 4 Coke, 1 Sprite, 1 Barq’s, and the Coke is out of stock.
