Self Check Out?

Self check out... I always assumed this meant you checked yourself out at a store. You scan your items, the machine talks you through it, you pay, and then you're gone. Well at Costco it does not mean this. So they added these lines called self checkout. Well I scan my membership card and start scanning my items. This Costco worker behind tells me she is gonna scan my big items for me so they don't have to leave the cart. So I am like ok sure although i just want to "self" scan my items and leave. So she hovers over me through my process and begins loading my basket for me. Wait a minute I am supposed to do that! So I thank her and leave confused and frustrated at the fact that in a self check out line at Costco the definition does not mean do it yourself. It means do it with a costco member helper and watch your things get loaded into your cart like their normal check out lines. Thanks Costco for making things so easy.

I hate costco self check out I have used it twice and left going WTF!! Where they put the sign pad drives me crazy! Why would you put it all the way down there when the card reader is at the top?! And then I put my order through and then the belt started going backwards and brought my stuff back to me and said I did something wrong and had to start again! GAY!! I will no longer use Costco self check out.
