The same thing people think in a line with a cashier when the person in front of them pulls out a handful of coupons and their checkbook.

...or spends an interminable amount of time digging through her purse for 47 cents.

Hadn't thought about ropey saliva in *years*! Never cared much for slobber.

I am a caregiver to a loved one so I have almost all of our groceries delivered from Walmart and Kroger. I make a rare outing to Publix for a quick run to pick up a few things once in a blue moon (every 3 or 4 months at most) when my neighbor can check in on my loved one. It is common for Walmart to leave things out of my order, but charge for it. I call customer service and they straighten it out but getting through their robot and then the time on the phone with customer service takes a long time.

It happens rarely with Kroger but does happen.

I never felt bad about checking the bags to make sure everything is there when I used to shop in person at Walmart.

I always use self checkout when I shop - Publix, Walmart…if something isn’t bagged it’s my fault.

Who cares? Why would I strive to move at someone else's pace? It's the self-checkout, not the left lane of I-75.

Actually, not that bad because in the self-checkout lines, typically one line feeds into many check-out stations, so the traffic moves well around a few slow pokes, or folks with many items to check out.

Well,---what is it that people like to do? Pickleball? golf? card games? Mah-Jong?

How many would rather stand on a line while some techno-challenged individual struggles with self-checkout??? Perhaps stores should take a lesson from Florida laws regarding the left lane of I-75---If you can't handle self-checkout, you must stand aside and let everyone else go until the line is gone, OR.....go to the manned checkout lanes.

Bottom line: Just like some drivers do not belong in the left lane of an interstate, some shoppers do not belong in the self-checkout lanes.

Bottom line: just because someone is not moving at YOUR pace, does not mean they aren't entitled to move at their pace. NEWSFLASH! THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.

No problem. I'll be on the third tee while you are still waiting for the person ahead of you at self-checkout to find the "enter" button.

NEWSFLASH! The world might revolve around the sun 5 times before some people figure out the self-checkout.

And no, they're not required to ring up any specific amount of sales, that isn't a thing. There's no quota, it's just a low-pay hourly job where they have to put up with miserable people who can't manage to pay attention when someone else is handling their groceries.

Every time I go to Walmart I load my own bags off carousel. If one left it’s my fault. I don’t think it’s checker’s responsibility to load your cart? But, I not sure? We always check carousel for any bag missed.
