Supermarket responds after Reddit user’s warning about self-checkout overcharge — ‘Was annoyed that the total amount due on my supermarket purchase did not equate to the individual items I purchased.’::‘Was annoyed that the amount due on my Woolies purchase did not equate to the individual items I purchased.’
I think people are far more invested in trying to find some conspiracy instead of accepting that mistakes happen, be it in code, pricing, whatever.
The closest thing to a fix is ensuring your local consumer laws say the sticker price prevails and call it out to a supervisor if you find an issue.
I don’t get the weirdness of the spike of self-checkout hate lately. There’s a lot of “I deserve to have a human scan items” takes that are bafflingly stupid.
Funnily enough humans have been scamming them at checkouts for decades. Adding stuff to the the scales for example, wrong fruit codes, lots of options.
I know, right? People should be glad that prices are rising while wages are stagnating and now having to do additional work to reduce cost and increase profits for corporations.
I also don’t get the entitled assholes in restaurants. You wan’t to be waited on? Just go up to the cook directly yourself and tell them what you want to eat.

I’m a fan of stores hiring even more cashiers and them working fewer hours (without a paycut, ofcourse; sonething like 4 day workweek) to spread out the workload and having more people employed and reducing the long lines. I am a fan of not replacing all the cashiers with selfcheckouts. I am a fan of putting mechanisms in place that reduce the incidence of And I never said it was to hurt corporations but that your comment sounded like bootlicking. But, yeah, I want cashiers because everyone only goes to the store for a single item. Nice strawman you got there.
I stand by my original observation about the anti-self-checkout arguments since my point is being proven lol
