Stupid thing for the day

Costco has self checkout. For 1+ years, they've had a person at each register scanning items. They beep beep beep and you're out.

Today, they had one person per aisle (covering 3 stations). Rather than the remote, you have to take each item out, scan it on the machine and place them in the area to the right.

If you miss placing one item it stops and tells you to place it in the area.

If you have a problem it stops completely. And you have to wait for the person. If you buy alcohol it stops completely. And you have to wait for the person.

If you try to put stuff back in the cart before it finishes paying it stops completely. And you have to wait for the person.

It took us 2x as long as using a cashier. And 4x as long as when they had people scanning.

I think I shan't be using self checkout at Costco. It's dumb.
