I think I did a bad thing at Costco today. I wasn't paying any attention when checking out and didn't realize they didn't have two persons on the checkout. The cashier was prettty rude to me and I was a little confused. When I started to leave she very loudly thanked the person behind me for putting their groceries on the belt. So yiiiikes. Never had that happen before. Edit: this page is dedicated to being a good Costco shopper, unlike me Edit edit: actually no it's dedicated to this particular cashier going to gently caress themselves Rufio fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Feb 9, 2021 |

If I had the gun, I could've probably scanned it all without removing anything.

Yeah that's just rear end in a top hat behavior. I mean you should probably put things on the belt as a matter of course but she was out of line there.

it's such an unspoken protocol too, like is it small stuff you should put on the belt? Should you even bother if you have less than 12 items

Wait you guys actually have Costco cashiers who talk to you? The ones at the stores near me barely look away from their assistant/boxer/bagger to scan my card.

They just added self checkout to our store but you have to take everything out of your basket and balance it on a tiny little bagging area. No thanks lol. Just gimme the gun and let me scan away please.

Those people scolding you are probably longtimers, let me tell you you probably thought you put it on the belt right, you probably thought it doesn't matter its all goin back in the cart. You were wrong, there's a goddamn system and you hosed it up. All those fuckers care about is their loving numbers, serious they can also get hosed hard.

Fallom posted:I’ve gotten scolded both for putting things on the belt and for not putting things on the belt It pretty much comes down to the preference of the cashier. I think it's fine to leave everything in the cart as long as the cashier can keep track of everything they're scanning. If it's a bunch of little stuff then you should take some of it out of the cart. Cashiers will get in trouble if they miss something and they catch it when they check your receipt at the door. That's why some of them insist you unload everything on to the belt, they want to make sure they don't get in trouble for making a mistake.

Just gimme the gun and let me scan away please. It was hilarious Saturday, with a checker urging people waiting in the only open register line to use self checkout, when all of us had giant things you'd need a price gun to scan. Maybe next time I will go there, and make a huge deal about lifting 44 pounds of cat litter over the scanner. Why are there no price guns?

My local Home Depot has scanner guns with huge 32" touchscreen displays, it's pretty nice. Costco should do that too.

Never had that happen before. Did you not get a membership until after covid started? Putting poo poo on the belt yourself has always been the norm at every costco I've been to and even when there's two people working each register they appreciate the help.

They are there to make sure you didn’t get charged extra or had something missed. They usually like to rough count and swipe you on your way.

Yeah idk sometimes they tell me to put things on the belt I want in a box or they say just small items or not large items and sometimes the assistant just takes my cart and does it faster than me. Right now the biggest pain is I can't just let my card ride the belt anymore. Which is extremely minor, but I'm sure bothers someone that it's slowing down their process, now they have to wait for the last customer to amble on out of the checkout area. I got some LED undercabinet lighting today. Big improvement over nothing. I hate the wall wart but for $30 I can live with it. Why live in darkness until I can remodel my kitchen?

It's also not always obvious what items are large enough to make the cutoff. I thought I got scolded for putting things on the belt because that was when they had first installed the COVID barriers and I figured they wanted me to step away, but then the next time I went they told me they wanted me to put the small things on the belt. I'm not too bent out of shape over it, I just want to Do Right By Them

in the before times, the door receipt checker once caught that i didn't pick up my amc movie tickets. went to costco today for 6 things. ended up spending $357. the gloves and scarves were pretty cheap so i bought a lot of those for the homeless shelters. then i saw the boba milk tea popsicles, and the freeze dried durian, and the dried mangoes, and the nigori sake, and the mango cakes, and the pineapple cakes, and the etc the mango cakes are loving delicious. it's the same bakery that makes the madeleines.

Grabbing an empty box or two from the bin outside and bringing them to checkout with me makes me feel like a Kirkland's version of a rock star.

I think we have signs on every register station that says to leave heavy items in the cart and put smaller items on the belt. I just leave stuff in the cart that I think would be hard for the cashier to pick up.

I have never heard word one about putting stuff on the belt. I always put little stuff on the belt, any questionable sized/large stuff stays in the cart. I also have a toddler in tow, so having him help put stuff on the belt keeps him occupied while we wait, and Costco cashiers are way more tolerant about the kiddo than lots of other stores I go to Do the new self checkouts not have a price gun? I haven't used one in over a decade, but I swear the Costco I used to go to in Jersey had a price gun for the big stuff.

I've only "used" the self-checkout about 3x (also the amount i've gone since they put them in) and basically everytime I'll get into a lane and then the self-checkout attendent just waves me over and quickly gun-scans it all for me and I just pay. i guess people aren't really using self-checkouts and they're bored so they just scan it all. i've never manually scanned or weighed anything lol actually makes it pretty quick to get out because cashier-lines will be semi-long yet 8 self-CO stations completely open and they;'l do all the scanning for you anyways. sure why not

Just gimme the gun and let me scan away please. I wish the self-scanning area had scanning guns. At least the bagging area is like a 3' by 3' square which is fine enough. I had an oversized item the other day and a cashier just walked over and scanned everything we had in our cart which kinda defeated the purpose of going into the self-checkout. I bought a soundbar. It was on sale, Yamaha ATS-2090 for $199. So I guess I have one of those now.

I follow the "leave heavy items in cart, lighter items on belt" protocol except for when I have few enough items that it's all in a single layer within the cart. Then, I leave everything in the cart, but make sure all the items have their UPC facing up so the cashier can quickly and easily scan everything without having to unnecessarily handle the items. It saves us both time, and I've never been reprimanded by cashiers or their checkout utility coworkers.

My local Costco’s “self-checkouts” are manned by a cashier who does all the scanning for you, which I would applaud as pro-worker except for the part where they started doing this in the middle of a pandemic, before they had a mandatory mask policy in place even.
