Increase on the number of thefts from self checkout points in many stores is costing them a fortune.
Simple solution, "Bring back the checkout chicks."

They should never have got rid of them in the first place. I refuse to use them and the same at Bunnings. Nothing like getting to know the checkout operator by name.

The cost of the thefts must still be lower than employing someone :N:
Self check out are not there for our benefit

supermarket's are the thieves, more often than not they charge twice for 1 item and almost always charge full price on a special.

Sandta, when I was in the hardware industry, we always added 5% to the price to cover stealing.

Told today that one of North Brisbane's largest Coles Supermarkets is now SELF SERVE ONLY, no checkout operators. This is a huge mistake by Coles as older customers will leave and seek alternatives. With lockdowns in other states, it won't be long before an interstater spreads their germs in Qld and another lockdown will happen. Some elderly people, enjoy communicating with the operator they have been talking to for years as this is a form of mental therapy for them, someone to talk to, someone that says, "Hello, how are you how has your day been?"
As i mentioned in a previous post, Coles Butchers are finished and now it appears the Checkout Operators are on the slippery slide as well. Online orders i believe are part of the reason and the young wanting to get in and out as quickly as possibly so they use the self serve. Well, one day they are also going to get olld and there won't be anyone to help them at the register.
End of whine.

Do you know if it was just the one Supermarket? Maybe something just local?
I am told Chermside, that is a big shop.

It's not just older people that like using checkouts either Mackka.
The self service ones are useless if you are doing a full weekly shop for a family. There's not enough room to put it thru & bag it (at least not in the 2 supermarkets here that have them).
I don't mind the self service though when just grabbing a few things like less than a bag or two.
We still have manned checkouts too thankfully.
