> Literally everyone (except apparently you) is stealing from these retailers I guess that's why I can't have nice things. What really bothers me is people who scam insurance and then boast to me about it as if I'm gonna tap them on the back for "sticking it to the man" when they're stealing money away from me by causing my insurance primes to increase but are too stupid to realize it.
While I don't support that, that argument only works if your insurance is truly a nonprofit. If profit is involved, they can increase your primes even without people stealing simply for the sake of profit.
They'll increase it even further when people ask for pay outs.

Self checkout isn't that quicker and is often slower than a regular manned checkout given a few obvious conditions. It's not really the speed that self checkout solves. It may feel quicker to the consumer, speed is probably more predictable and it could increase throughput and efficiently use space. Most benefits are for the shop. Needless to say a shop is able to reduce the speed of regular checkout to black pattern…
The stores I visit usually have 10+ self checkouts. It swallows a lot more people so you don't have to queue like in a regular store. It also allows people with fewer items to bypass the people with a full shopping cart because there are 9 other checkouts. You also save time by putting the scanned items directly into your bag instead of putting them on a band for the cashier to scan, before you can put them into your…
I'm quite often waiting in line for self checkout. In theory people with only a few items go through, in practice people will sometimes go crazy with it. And of course some customers can be quite slow or get hung up so it isn't really predictable.
Drives me nuts to wait to take care of myself. I think they should give you a scanner gun you walk around the store with, then I can just leave.

Bro, it really is that simple. Literally everyone (except apparently you) is stealing from these retailers. The shrink rate is an order of magnitude higher on self checkout compared to a cashier lane with a human.

> That analysis showed that self-checkout led to a shrink rate more than 16 times higher than traditional cashier lines. Nearly 7% of self-checkout transactions had at least some amount of partial shrink, compared to 0.32% with cashiers. The analysis also suggested a shrink rate of 3.5% for self-checkout machines, while conventional cashiers only saw a 0.21% shrink rate.

You're absolutely right, the excuse is unacceptable. Also unacceptable is requiring customers to do the job of an employee. The two are not mutually exclusive.
I've never seen a Target store require people to self checkout.
Most I've been to in the past few years staff so sparsely that they have one maybe two staffed checkouts, even at peak "grab stuff on the way home from work" times. So your choice is to wait in that line for the single checkout, or the self checkout line for the 6-10 self checkout stations.

> For its study, the company used computer vision to analyze nearly 5,000 retail transactions, comparing items the shoppers picked up during their shopping trip with transaction data to see what was actually purchased

> According to Grabango, checkout-free technology powered by computer vision can help eliminate self-checkout shrink by tracking what shoppers pick up and charging them exactly what they owe. The company also stressed that average supermarkets could increase bottom-line profits by more than 50% per year by eliminating partial shrink from self-checkout alone.
First, I don’t trust a company selling something to say they did a study, literally using that product, and the result of the study was to sell you something new. Not only that, but everyone knows computer vision isn’t always perfect, it’s similar to LLM AI in that when it works it’s amazing but it’s hard to get working. For this study it seems like they trusted their CV product to be perfect and compared it to the human scanned item list and assumed that was inaccurate.

The investors are always asking for pay outs.
