Carey’s Rant - Self-checkouts Boo Hiss

I went to Walmart in Eastlake. Did my shopping, went to check out, and the only thing open was the self-checkout.

I told the lady that if there are no registers open, I will leave my items, and some were from the freezer department.

She said gruffly OK, so I did.

They had three ladies hovering over you like mosquitoes at a nudist camp, another lady at the door checking your receipt like a Gestapo checking IDs, all of which is an inconvenience, but they can’t open a manned register where my items are scanned, money and change handed over, with my items bagged.

I may be one person, but I refuse to play this game. There are still stores with humans saying hello and asking, 'Did you find everything OK?' That's where I will continue to shop. You can shop at the stores that feel more like North Korea, but not me.
