I generally shy away from the self-service check out counters at the grocery store. I am slow at checking myself out and often have produce. Produce foils me at self-service check out. Plus, there’s something about the self-checkout that I resist. I psychologically feel cheated if I have to do more of the work myself, with the check out. I rather like watching the checkers quickly swiffing my groceries across the barcode scanner. Their efficiency is impressive.
Apparently, I should rethink my position on self service check out. According to the E-Week, self-checkout has caused impulse sales to plunge (yes, plunge!) 43 percent for snacks.
Self-Service Checkout as a diet tool? I’ll add that to my mental diet-tip arsenal.
