The last time I was there the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone. I chose not to participate in that foolishness, so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "Sir, Sir” as I kept walking. I simply raised my hand above my head and shook my receipt, as I kindly Ieft the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place so they can resume the position. l'm not interested in the job, so if I fall short, oh well. I'm also not interested in proving that I did your job for you. You expect me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem, not mine. Don’t audit me for a position you refuse to employ any longer.

All of us

Couldn’t agree more.  I understand why the big stores are doing this.  But many patrons like you and I don’t care for it.  Unless you, me and everyone else stands in a massive line while 17 yr old Ainsley attempts to keep up with the mass amount of people in line, while they’re unused self check outs lay around and collect dust, it’ll continue.  The stores don’t care if they get our money. I don’t blame them either.  But it pisses me off too.  Sadly, I’m inpatient, much like others, so I reluctantly do self checkout as well.  

Bright side, sometimes it’s nice not to engage in the stupid banter/small talk the cashiers attempt to make.  Kudos to them for being friendly, but neither of us care.  Perhaps I have more to learn.  But I always tried to understand why strangers acted like they give a [BLEEP] in a situation like that.  I’m not one to pretend and play make believe.  I don’t go out of my way to be a dick, but I also know neither of us care as long as we both get to leave.
