I will wait in line 99% of the time I would rather shop at a Logan's Ray's or any other Local merchant than a big Box even if I pay a little more

They are a pain to use and I still appreciate/expect customer service. If I want to self checkout I'll shop online!

Because for every self checkout stand there could be a person employed helping to lower the employment rate

If I'm doing my own checkout and bagging, I should get 50% discount since I'm doing their job without pay. Need to keep cashiers in place and stop trying to make more profits from the customer.

The reduction of self check machines should be replaced with person operated check stands. Otherwise the corporations will just opt to leave customers in long lines if measure to reduce automation pas

Absolutely!! Where do I sign? Not only for jobs but if an issue occurs, it takes longer to fix at a self-checkout than going thru a human-manned checkout. I've had a lot of issues at a self-checkout.

Some people are not ready to scan, bag and then do all the electronic stuff required to check themselves out. Especially seniors. Could give many more reasons why they are not the best idea.

I deserve a discount if I use self check out. I have saved the wage of two people, the checker and the bagger. I have limited my shopping at the Redmond Fred Meyer - often forced to use self checkout.

I am not getting a discount or wage to check out my own groceries. I am not an employee. I let the employees do their jobs by checking out my purchase.

What will people do without these type of jobs? I would rather have someone check me out with a friendly face than a stupid manchine.

You do not have to use the machine but quit trying to stop others who like them. You must be a liberal.

It is totally frustrating to be in line and someone who hates technology is trying to cash a $5 coupon. And write a check! :(

Automation is happening. I worked as a cashier once. It was miserable. I love that I can do my own work and not wait as long.

It's faster and more convenient. It opens more checkout lanes when traditional cashiers wouldn't be available due to low staffing.

It's so much faster than the two regular check stands that are open when the store is slammed.

At my store, we added self checkouts because we were understaffed. We're still understaffed...... Without our self-checks, we'd only ever have 2-6 registers open.

Absolutely not! when lines at checkout get unbearably long, self-checkout relieves that wait. None of the stores I frequent EVER have even HALF the checkout lines manned, so it's not about about jobs!

With the growth in Bend there are plenty of jobs and also that brings very crowded grocery stores. We need the self-checkout to balance the outrageous growth in this town.

Look at the multitude of cashierless check out stands at most stores ( ie. Walmart, BiMart, Target. They aren't staffing enough cashiers as it is. Let us check ourselves out. Faster/ more efficient

I like Raimi as a director more and frankly seeing the first draught of the 89 script makes me like Burton even less. Havent ever really loved 89 as much as others to begin with, sonce I didnt grow up with it.

Raimi cause at least he loves spider-man and would try to make a character driven story about peter , whereas burton doesnt care for batman and another batman film by him would be all visuals and not a character driven story about batman.

Burton Batman, while still a notable and fondly remembered version, is (imo) seeming less influential and culturally relevant the more years that have passed since its release. Conversely, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man seems way more influential again, and is, for me, the more definitive take of the two!

Easy! Burton has yet to make a good Batman movie, Raimi made two great films with Spider-Man.

The Raimi Spider-man films feel like an overarching story without a satisfying ending. I just have more nostalgia for Raimi Spider-man. Literally nothing would make me happier than hearing that elfman spider-man score over the opening credits of a new Raimi Spider-man movie one more time.

It would be a harder choice if it was the Keaton universe without Burton, even than I might have to go with Spider Man, Raimi is the easy choice with Burton the way he is now.

Burton's best days are behind him and even during those he wasn't perfect. Raimi still seems to "got it", even if I haven't loved all of his more recent work either. Plus, his Spider-Man movies ended on a worse note than Burton's Batmans, so there's a bigger need for redemption.

Now I assume that both Tim Burton and Sam Raimi are very different people than when they left their projects, but since there's been less time in between 2007 and now than there is 1992 and now, I assume that Raimi has retained more of his sensibilities that made his version work.

I ignored it just like Republican lawmakers ignore takkng a bigger stance on control on school shootings. All they do is give meaningless mouth service the whole time pocketing money from NRA lobbyists. I don't want to take anyone's guns from them, but our children should feel safe.

We already have a military presence in Greenland. Denmark is a NATO ally. Trump should NOT be threatening the European balance or the time-tested established order. This has ramifications far beyond Trump's ego.
