This was our main grocery store, we consider most of the employees to be friends and would look forward to talking to them and hearing about their families and weeks etc. the choice to install the (incredibly subpar, I might add) self checkout system is a massive oversight. These employees are disadvantaged now, older folk are disadvantaged now, and people like my fiancé and I who weekly spend $200 on groceries here, are disadvantaged by the self checkouts. It would not be *that* bad if they had literally any space available to bag and set your groceries, but because the decision was made to cram as many as physically possible in the small space, people like us who have spent gobs of money at this store can almost physically not even do so anymore. The employees work is immensely more difficult, and the last 3x we have went in we have witnessed in our time at the checkout employees being yelled at and heckled because of the decision of management and executives to render them 99% useless. Older people don’t want to deal with out of date tech that slows their likely already uncomfortable and not fun grocery shopping trip. It’s really pretty sad to see some of these 70+ year old people on Sunday mornings struggling, only ti see the single employee who I also care about struggle to help the 3 other families checking out while the senior citizen is just confused and lost. It’s really unfortunate that after years of shopping here we are being forced to take our business elsewhere but man, this is a screwed up and narrow minded decision that HAD to have been made by a person who has literally never went grocery shopping on their own.

They have a fantastic selection of produce and a great deli. Higher prices on prepackaged goods, though. Not a fan of the self checkout, though.

The executive decision to install 80% self check out stations results in an abysmal unnecessary situation where the cashiers are inundated with discount errors. I feel sorry for the employees that someone up top intentionally makes their job that much more frustrating for the already low wages they earn. The money invested into the cumbersome self check out hardware could have been put towards the employees. Neither employee nor customers win, just the pockets of that exec.

Even Hyvee allows you to bring your own containers. Bring an extra of each one so they can weigh them and subtract the weight. Then they ring up by price per pound.
