I often go to customer service and ask them to check me out. When they point to the self checkout, I tell them I prefer a human.
Never had any issues except one time I was at Lowe's and the woman just wouldn't do it. I had to tell her either check me out or agree that whatever I ring up is accurate.
She called a manager over it, who then checked me out.
I'm still bitter about it.
dont be this should be the new thing
Demand to have a clerk check you out
If you’re at a Walmart a good trick if you’ve only got a handful of items is checking out in electronics, apparel or HBA/cosmetics.
But in huge cities those cashiers are oftentimes missing or bombarded with key duty (where they lock up items that cost like $2) so it’s hit or miss.
(Regarding locking up simple items like deodorant: if it takes 45 minutes for someone to come unlock it and the only way to get someone to come over with a key is by shouting “help” very loudly I’m ordering it on Amazon.)
