‘It hasn’t delivered’: The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology::Unstaffed tills were supposed to revolutionise shopping. Now, both retailers and customers are bagging many self-checkout kiosks.
Never really had any problems.
no weight sensors, and where there are, you can put the bags on the platform, wait for like 20 seconds for it to recognize them and continue with the scanning.
never had that happen but this is the store’s problem and I’m guessing doesn’t happen all that often - neither the fault of the machine nor the customer.
never experienced that either with the ones that do have weight sensors.
the ones with weight sensors have like a 1m*1m platform, there’s plenty of room for like 3-4 full bags.
Sounds like you guys just have better self-checkouts than we do
looks like the majority of the complains are related to the weight sensors, and you can’t scrap those if you have people stealing - that does just not happen here in any significant amount.
Eh. The weight sensors don’t seem to be doing much to prevent stealing, companies are still complaining about it; they just make the things a pain in the ass to use
