I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my cart, emptied my cart and scanned the items, refilled my cart and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.

You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.

YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.

Signed ......All of us
People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!
Instead of suffering the horrible indignities of self checkout & being rude to the receipt checker just trying to do her job, why don't you get your groceries delivered? Both Walmart & Publix offer home delivery & curbside pickup. I have used both methods and they are great. With curbside, you just pull in and in moments out comes an employee with your groceries. It's great. BTW, freeing up cashiers by utilizing self checkouts allows more employees to shop for customer's delivery & curbside groceries (and no loss of jobs).
