All self checkouts I’ve seen have a volume button at the bottom of the screen to adjust the volume/turn the beep on or off.

Not the ones at Hannafords. I even asked about it and they said it was a corporate decision.
hoikarnage OP t1_jc1zc65 wrote
You know what you could have said instead of being condescending? You could have said, “hey, thanks for the heads up.”
I don’t think there is a single person who doesn’t know the items are listed on the screen, but when your scanning 50 items most people don’t really pay close attention.

if you’re scanning 50 items, you probably shouldn’t be in the self scan

The Hannaford self checkouts absolutely do have a volume control. It links to your account, too, so if you key in your phone number before you start scanning, it will adjust the volume to your previous setting.
Guygan t1_jc20aje wrote
No beeps at my Hannaford.
They have a computer voice that reads out the price of each item when it's scanned.
hoikarnage OP t1_jc20kaz wrote
They have express and non express self checkouts. Also when there is only one cashier for the entire store and eight self checkouts that are not being used, you’re going to go to the self checkout.

Jesus Christ shut up. Why is everyone on /r/Maine such condescending douchebags? I’m telling you how it is as someone who works there.

Idk about you, but when I use self check out I scan and look at the screen before anything goes in my bag. 1 item or 50, doesn't matter. Takes 2 seconds to check the screen before proceeding. It's not rocket science. Scan, look, bag, repeat. Also, if you're paying attention, you can call over an employee and they can remove the item that was not supposed to be there.
Also, if you have so many items you probably should just go to a regular register anyways...

Do you work there, or did someone that works there tell you it was a corporate decision?
z-eldapin t1_jc22vkr wrote
During self check out, I absolutely look at every item.
crenk3130 t1_jc23i61 wrote
it’s weird, whenever i go through a self-checkout i always seem to have an extra couple of items in my bag that don’t show up on the receipt. i guess the store’s employees must be better at scanning than i am

I find that to be so annoying!!! Does jerry checking out next to me NEED to know how much I am spending here today?
gchap_ t1_jc28rai wrote
It’s also super easy to borrow items from hannaford
costabius t1_jc2bnoo wrote
Strange, me too! We should totally leave the scanning to the professionals I guess.

This post is reminding me of every time I post something benign. I expect people to think “neat” and move on or something, and instead all these people come out of nowhere to act like I’m the dumbest person alive.

If it was a corporate decision all the stores volumes would be the same
Admiral_sloth94 t1_jc2j1la wrote
Have you tried turning up the volume?
TheMrGUnit t1_jc2rw8y wrote
Maybe I was high on PCP last time I was in Hannaford.
Or maybe your particular store doesn't have the same kiosks as most the rest of Maine.
Or somebody just lied to you.
At least one of these is true.
DidDunMegasploded t1_jc2t5a8 wrote
Every Hannaford I've gone to has a beep and a voice reading out the price of the item. Sometimes it's just the beep and not the voice.
Also, there's no way this applies to every single checkout at either of these stores. One or two checkouts I can buy. Not all eight. And not at two entire stores.
You can play the "but I work there!" card all you want. You stay on your hill, I'll stay on mine.

The more you lash out, the more r/thathappened this post and your comments become. Thought logic!

No you don't.
hoikarnage OP t1_jc4vrid wrote
The ones that are 15 items or less are clearly marked. Not all of them are and unless it's super busy nobody is going to care anyway.

Hey, you're the one getting pissed at people who have observed and used a feature on self checkout lines at Hannaford...
But ok, if I'm 9, then how is my child 13? Is this the new math?

You can keep saying that, doesn't make it true. Wasn't aware that you and I had been shopping together

If you have a 13 year old and you are still using gifs to express your emotions on reddit there is something seriously wrong with you and I feel bad for you child for being raised by someone like you.

Why? Cause I have a sense of humor and don't get offended by random peeps on the internet?

For.the record, when OP dirty deletes this, she wrote 'I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was talking to someone with autism.'

Why would I delete this? Also this thread died many hours ago, so nobody is going to read your dumb comments.

Ohhhh so you're ableist. Well that explains your aggression quite well! Ableists always have that innate anger bottled up from seeing a "cripple" or two on the street.

Because it’s something you can get banned for.
Considering your behavior in this thread, I’d honestly be surprised if you deleted it even knowing that.
