Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers β€” and shoppers who despise receipt checks (www.cbc.ca)

I started using grocery self-checkouts during COVID, but I've kept using them because there's rarely a line (and I'm a misanthrope). I'd probably go back to using regular human checkouts if I had to dig through all my crap to prove what I bought.

Having said that, I've noticed myself making mistakes. I've accidentally failed to scan an item, and I've accidentally entered incorrect codes for produce. When I notice, I fix them, but I've probably missed a few.

I guess the easiest answer is for grocery chains to reinvest some of those windfall profits and hire more cashiers.

Yes, but what I'm saying is that any store can ban you for any reason (that isn't legally protected)

So it has nothing to do with Costco specifically

It's all good. The moment they demand my papers we go talk about it at the return counter anyway. They can double-secret-ban me if it'll make them happy, but they can't fire me as a customer if I've already quit.
