I have never seen a retailer penalized the family members for shopping in a store. Every time I shop at The Home Depot they are watching me like a hawk to see if I am going to steal something. I have never stolen anything, ever. We went through hurricane Ike and need to repair and rebuild our home. I have plenty of money and haven’t seen one single thing on this planet that is worth me stealing to spend any time in jail. I have spent around 4K there so far and it will be the last. I still have about 20K in material to buy to finish my home but it won’t be coming from the home depot. I don’t recommend any one else spending money there either. This is a new experience for me. I have never been treated like a criminal before. Got to be the stupidest retailer ever. I hate to see any company go belly up. There are so many innocent victims that lose their jobs. But I hope all employees of this company get their resumes’ in order. They are all going to need jobs soon. The Home Depot won’t last very long at all if they keep running off potential customers like myself. You know how the old saying goes, Crap flows downhill. This is obviously a corporate decision, which will ultimately be in the favor of Lowe’s.

I work for home depot as a line manager and you are not the first to kick yell or beat the machine…. The entire space is a scale and anytime weight is shifted even if you stand too close it sets off the unexpected item in bagging area… your best bet if you have issues with the machine is to ask the cashier to ring everything up for you if there is lines on the regular registers… They should be more than happy to issist if not fill out the survey at the end of your receipt and complain about the cashier using their ais number… They will get in trouble for not being helpful…

Well you made me feel bad… the other day a blind old man in a wheelchair was reaching for the self checkout and I quietly went around him and skipped him.

I hope this isnt the wave of the future. Can you imagine an elderly, mentally handicapped person or even a person in a wheelchair dealing with this?

When we buy lumber we get to use the checkout “that consumers aren’t supposed to see”.

In hindsight, I should not have attempted to use the self-checkout with the assortment of items I was getting, but the problem was that they didn’t have any regular checkout lanes open. There really wasn’t much of a choice.

We were supposed to be helping Cindy’s mom find a Christmas tree. Luckily, we didn’t find one, but I’m sure we could never have gotten it through the self-checkout.

What if you buy lumber?

I agree with Albie. I have never had a problem with a self-checkout. But, then again, I have never used one to buy a refridgerator at Home Depot.

Dude, I use these self-checkouts at least once-twice a week and have never had any kind of problem. In my opinion they are one of the greatest inventions of the 21st Century, and super-convenient when you need building materials in a hurry. They have increased my love for the HD 10-fold!
