I really want to like stop and shop but if I could just go to the self checkout without getting screamed at every time I place something after scanning that would be great

Lol The self-checkout program is a bitch. It’s as if it’s just waiting for an opportunity to berate you. I still prefer it over letting somebody else bag my groceries though.

Scan. Place the item in the bagging area. Pay. THEN BAG.

It’s a pain to delay people the extra 20 seconds after you’re finished with the transaction - except when you consider you’ll never trigger that error again & can still easily be faster than the person who started self checkout right before you if you try.

Here’s the deal with self checkout @ SS

If you have a cart - this is not meant for you

Scan, then place all items on the unit BEFORE bagging - There’s a rhythm Scan then Place - Absolutely don’t bag before all items are in said unit.

It’s not that hard, they should give better [any] directions.

As an added bonus, the pool of potential grocery cashiers will be HUGE if they ever roll back self-checkout. \s

I'm a pro at looking up produce now.

Just get the scanner and scan as you go. Checkout literally takes one minute if you do this.
