“service” is no “special attention” but I get to the conclusion our misunderstanding might be a socio-cultural thing

NuanceDemon@lemmy.world 2 months agoYou mean demanding special attention rather than using the self-checkout like everyone else? Not sure I understand.

I expect that the management is responsible for adequate staffing. Self-checkout typically doesn’t even work. Not a boomer, not USian, YMMV.

Self checkouts don’t work where you are? Odd.

Typically they need attendant attention, to be reset to be usable. Which makes it rather pointless. My expectation that checkout lines are to be adequately staffed with cashiers. This is, however, increasingly not a safe assumption, in Germany. I expect the situation to further deteriorate. As does everything else.

Here there are like 10 self-checkouts per 1 employee and they’re just there if the machine gets confused about a weight. It’s much better, and faster than waiting in the queue for a manned checkout. I can’t imagine wanting to go backward, where’s the benefit?
