'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology
Unstaffed tills were supposed to revolutionise shopping. Now, both retailers and customers are bagging many self-checkout kiosks.
You're viewing a single thread.
Self checkouts that require the receipt barcode to open the exit door are quite alright.
It's usually fast except for the idiots that bring their small children in there to play around with everybody else's time.
Sorry, they lock you in until you pay? What country is this?
Think that's dystopian? At a local here in aus, if the self service checkouts think someone is about to walk out without paying, they lock off the entire self service area, and all the trolleys in the store freeze and refuse to move - Even if you've been through the manned register, and already paid for your groceries.. You have to wait for them to unlock all the shit. Idk how people shop there.
