How can you be so sure they will focus on clean power when PTP will have no more control over the supply source than CMP or Versant? Not to mention that PTP was designed after LIPA which after 30 years is in billions of debt, have rates higher than ours and are far behind in renewable energy efforts. How can we know that PTP would be any different?

Strange, me too! We should totally leave the scanning to the professionals I guess.

Love them. They rule.

It’s also super easy to borrow items from hannaford

I find that to be so annoying!!! Does jerry checking out next to me NEED to know how much I am spending here today?

Rwanda Bean used to, although their website doesn't list anything under the unroasted section anymore so I'm not sure.

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

During self check out, I absolutely look at every item.

Do you work there, or did someone that works there tell you it was a corporate decision?

I don’t think the politicians behind this even know how it’s going to be funded.. they say one thing but it always seems to be another. The billions of dollars this initiative will put on ratepayers is worrisome. I get rates are high currently and we need to hold our utilities companies accountable for that, but this COU would be even worse for the state. You think your bill is high now? If they takeover the grid just wait..

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...

holy shit, bub.

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.

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.

No beeps at my Hannaford.

They have a computer voice that reads out the price of each item when it's scanned.

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.

Some people are such dingleberries lol.

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

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.

Not the ones at Hannafords. I even asked about it and they said it was a corporate decision.

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.

There's a screen, right in front of you, that shows you what you scanned...

Thank you! I found out yesterday that they don't (at the moment) anymore. Fine with me. Owners are sue happy and corny.
