Wait...ok, so I haven't really shopped anywhere but Meijer or (to a lesser extent) Kroger for about a decade. Is this why I haven't seen the problems with things like "unexpected item" and such? That could make a lot of sense. It's been driving me crazy seeing stories like this when the worst experience I have with self checkout is when the camera thinks I'm stealing something because I have, like, a Wendy's cup.
lol maybe. Meijer is such a breeze at the self checkout compared to Kroger. The memes are mostly true. Unexpected item in the bagging area half a dozen times, then the cashier has to come over and put their passcode in and override whatever happened.
The Kroger near me is fine about that, but it's newer self checkouts so they probably haven't had time to fall into disrepair yet.
