Self check outs do not free up workers to help in other areas. They hire less help because of it. I see no evidence of lower prices. In fact most building materials cost more at the boxes than at local lumber yards.

Have they ever? Yeah, sure I suppose they do work. I do not ever remember a time without some frustration.

When those self checkout stands work, I am a big fan – but I don’t remember last time they worked!

Just when I thought I've seen it all! A week ago I stumbled on SpyRocks.com and saw their wireless night-vision surveillance cameras hidden inside fake rocks and artificial tree stumps for outdoor home security. They actually look realistic!!! (Their website has a cool section with photos of spy gadgets and hidden cameras throughout history too). What next??? LOL!

Ha, thanks for the home center word of mouth promotion!! My last experience was horrible because i didn’t have an option. Give me the choice at least. If I have two carts full of lumber or bulky items there is no good way to go through the self checkout.

Well, I’m torn on this subject. I agree that the self checkout is strictly there to cut operational costs. But it does get me out the door a bit quicker when there’s a check writing ding-dong holding up the line. Of course, when the lines are super long, I seize that opportunity to tell everyone about the Handyguys Podcast : )
