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

I do not like self check out to inconvenient for a basket full of groceries.

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.

Yes, for jobs but keep what the stores have now...I prefer self-checkout, in and out quickly

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.

No, we need more!

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

Unions only want more dues so they can own more Democrat politicians.

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.

How about we regulate based on American Values... freedom being the important one. Stop regulating everything TO DEATH.

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

All they have to do is start the first 30 to 40 minutes of the movie in the full classic costume with mask on. After that no one will care who is under the mask.

I suck at fan casting but a rebooted franchise calls for a new Wolverine, and it's an opportunity to bring in someone smaller and scrappier.

They're going to need to do a very different take on the character if they don't use Hugh Jackman if they want it to work.

We need to stay informed about the local news that impacts our lives inBend and CO. Need to stay up to date on sheriff and police issues, parking, housing and what the city councils and county commissions are doing

We need all the help to fight fires in our precious state since the feds have cut our funding. This is not a “liberal” or “conservative “ issue. It’s a quality of life issue and the preservation of our communities and the forest that we treasure.

I imagine your idea of a “great” newspaper, would be Pravda or some MAGA run rag, right? (All the Conservative obfuscation, all of the time!) Why you think the Bulletin is a “Liberal” publication, I just don’t get. Now, “The Source”, THAT’S definitely a Liberal rag. (And they’re very good at it!)

Please don’t make this a political division. Let’s be civil and acknowledge all that we have in common; the quality of life in our community.

I have always loved JUST getting the Sunday paper with the Parade magazine and the extras; however, I cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago. I have NEVER had a need or a desire for a DAILY paper.
