A Migros employee asked me today not to scan my full shopping cart myself as the store only has a self-scanning checkout. I had to go to the staffed checkout, she said, as this is the usual practice on Saturdays so that people who only buy individual products don't have to queue. @Migros: why are you introducing self-scanning checkouts if not everyone is allowed to use them?
What you are describing is not self-scanning but self-checkout and this is particularly intended for small purchases. So the staff did the right thing with their request 👌
If I'm not mistaken, is it written that you can only use the self-checkout tills for up to 7 items?

I was talking about a self-scanning checkout, so it was clear what I meant and what it was about. Because I scan the items myself and am at a checkout. And no, it doesn't say anywhere that only a limited number of items are permitted.
Dear Mrs. Rumm, isn't it understandable that the employee asked you? On a Saturday when everyone wants to be gone immediately and even faster and preferably all at once, it's understandable that you want to keep these checkouts free for people who only have two or five items. Be a little understanding with each other! Personally, I think it's all about rush hour, hence the request. Have a nice Sunday.... with love Sonja

I don't like the system of Self Scan and the like! It's ok for a few items, but not for shopping. More and more jobs are being cut and I, the customer, do the work of the sales clerk. Do I get paid for the extra work? No, I pay exactly the same amount. Migros /Coop are pushing customers more and more into this system. 1 cash desk open, let the customer work himself. Not with me!

I don't think so. I prefer this type of store. I also think that self-checkout should be used for smaller purchases and self-scanning for larger purchases, unless you don't have a Cumulus card.

I think self-scanning is good because I can put the goods away immediately and know my purchase amount in advance, have paid within minutes and don't block the storage space after the checkout until everything is put away.

"What's the situation with your knives? Do you still sharpen them?..." Um... what's the alternative? Buying a new set of knives every year because they don't cut as sharp anymore? And at the same time get upset about a bit too much plastic packaging, food waste and wasting resources (only the others do that...)? Applied to the self-scanning checkouts: No, not everyone has to go along with every new nonsense, and maybe even think about it. But to get back to the actual topic: At the beginning, I was also upset that the introduction of self-scanning meant that too few attended checkouts were open and that people were supposed to be "re-educated". I flat-out refused and was obviously not alone in this, because recently I've had the impression that I don't have to queue as long again because they're making sure to keep enough staffed checkouts open (despite or because of coronavirus?). Let everyone choose what they personally like better. Live and let live.

There was no one at the express checkout that Saturday and imagine I can scan just as quickly as those at the checkout. Migros told me that you can of course use the express checkout. And by the way, nobody has to go to Migros on a Saturday if they only want to buy two things and there are too many people there. And by the way, there's also the kind of customer who annoys me at the attended checkout by looking at me reproachfully if I don't let them to the front as a matter of course. I'm curious to see what kind of strange comparison they use to argue from the 1950s. That you can no longer wash your clothes with a washboard or whatever else is part of my topic 😃

Oh well... throw nonsensical comparisons into the room, then wonder why the discussion is going off-topic and continue to write off-topic... Is that the way it should be...? ;) Well, if nobody sharpens their knives anymore and constantly buys new ones, nobody has to wonder about the state of our environment. But then you're not really credible when you complain about food being transported too far or about too much packaging. Or that the yoghurt costs 5 centimes too much... Sharpening knives: A one-off investment in a whetstone, e.g. from Migros Do-It-Garden https://migipedia.migros.ch/en/601212000000 Perhaps half an hour of sharpening once a year. Sure, that's valuable life time that is lost. Half an hour a year less being able to stroke your electronic brain prosthesis and missing out on Insta news as important as the fact that my neighbor's brother-in-law's cat had the runs yesterday... Lord, don't throw any more brains out of the sky, because they don't know what to do with them!
