Belgian municipality levies tax on self-scan cash registers – IT Pro – News

A few minor nuances…. putting it in your bag yourself can also cause a few problems: if you get a check, you have to partially empty your bag again.

You don’t have to. You let the controller do that. He can also put it back in.

And if you have made a mistake, you can be treated like a semi-criminal.

Or not. I’ve scanned/checked something wrong once. Immediately recognized as a legitimate/common error and corrected. As long as you don’t walk out of the store with what you haven’t paid for, you can’t be made anything. Apologize, correct, pay, and go.

Furthermore, it is not only slow people who opt for manned checkouts. Also people who are shy about a chat or want to flirt with the cashier. Or have some questions. Or save sayings. Etc etc etc.

You can also get stamps at self-scan checkouts in the supermarkets I visit, and questions can also be asked through the same route.

Cashiers are not there as social workers. Every second that one is busy is one second of waiting time for every customer in the same queue. That does not have to be a problem when there is a choice to pass the line.
