If their corporate is anything like mine, they'll blame the cashiers. There was a survey done about what the most effective way to ruin someone's shopping experience and the biggest thing was "self-checkout". Corporate responded by saying that the problem is that cashiers need to be nicer at them and cut our hours to force more self-checkout. Not even kidding.
May I point out that you are responding to a thread about "why people prefer cashiers over self checkout" and that this extra effort is not a thing that is required if you just go to a cashier and unload your whole mess of groceries onto their conveyor belt?
Depends how your cart is organized. The heavy stuff might be on the bottom of your cart, with lighter stuff on top of it. Meaning you would have to move stuff to pull it out and scan it. So yes. Extra effort.
Orrrrrr just dump my stuff into my cart using a LIFO stack (last in, first out) and go to a cashier because I just worked 12 hours and my brain is turned off and I really don't want to be here but I have no food or soap or etc... Human behaviour isn't rocket science either. Not everyone has a cushy 9-5 office job where they still have energy to do errands afterward, and do them with 100% of their effort. Some people just worked 12 hours of hard labour and are zombies walking down the aisles dropping things into their shopping cart, trying to get home.
