I wonder how the system works where you can just put items in the basket and check out.

I was shocked that the items were counted before being placed in the groove at Uniqlo the other day.

It’s convenient, but somehow that register is scary.

What happened to Chiba-san…?

Oh, but recently there seems to be “shoplifters pretending not to know how to use self-checkouts.”

It seems that there are originally many elderly people.

Is it possible for such a heartfelt learning manga atmosphere featuring an elderly person to lead to this kind of development?

What will happen from here on out?

>>20

Since the sensor reads the magnetic information from the product tags, if you pay for a large number of items at once like in the thread image,

There are times when a loading error occurs and it inadvertently turns into shoplifting.

At the beginning of the introduction, the staff was always there to explain, but they’ve been absent lately…

>>27

The tags that could not be read will sound at the gate when leaving the store as unprocessed items.

>>32

The entrance and exit are essential, but I wish there was a gentle warning near the register that says, “There are ⚪︎ unpurchased items.”

>>32

If you notice something you missed reading, warn at the register.

>>24

The thread image is executing the instructions properly, so it might be better to clarify that part more clearly or have them read one item at a time from the start, don’t you think?

>>24

If that’s the case, maybe a self-checkout with manual barcode scanning is better… at least.

The self-checkout had a mistake with the vegetable input, but the staff notified me before I paid.

I’m curious in return, but how does that mechanism work!?

It’s not a joke; it could happen normally…

Are you saying that the card payment didn’t go through?

Sometimes there can be reading mistakes, so please keep track of the number of items and make sure nothing is missed when checking out at the register.

There’s a note that says to shake the basket when the numbers don’t match, but please make the suggestion a bit more gentle…

It will come out as a total of ◯ points.

The total is 〇〇 yen, so I’ll just go ahead and pay.

It’s not a loading omission, but maybe a loading error occurs?

Well, if that’s the case, then the machine should just say that, right? How does it work?

I think there are many places where similar notices are posted near the register.

It might be more reassuring to check the barcode one item at a time like at a supermarket self-checkout.

It’s more convenient to settle everything at once, and it also improves turnover.

This and this and this come out to ~ yen, so the person shopping has to notice that first…

>>37

When it comes to Chiba-san’s class, I have a dream of being able to shop like Michael Jordan without worrying about the amount.

>>37

That said, if you try to buy all the clothes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter in one go, it would come to nearly 200 items, so isn’t it tough to keep track?

Make sure to check if the score is correct!

It’s just a matter of following what I said, so that’s all there is to it.

Let’s reach out to those who don’t quite understand and are trying something for the first time.

Well, if you buy this much, mistakes are bound to happen.

I don’t know how many points I bought.

Perhaps it’s not suitable for buying in bulk?

Even a checkout operated by a person can make mistakes in the quantity when buying multiple items of the same product.

Could it be that Professor Chiba has checked out the same product multiple times?

>>46

That’s why there are oversights in reading.

If the gate can detect unprocessed tags, then attach it to the system register as well.

Isn’t it enough to just scan it again after the settlement is momentarily finished?

Having a few employees standing around is the same in supermarkets and it actually seems more efficient.

Isn’t it only Uniqlo that has this kind of system?

>>48

There aren’t many industries that can easily cover the cost of introducing disposable RFID tags to all products.

>>77

No, that’s not it. It just can’t be read this way unless it’s clothing without decorations.

If I do things like shopping at the supermarket, I’ll be shut out by things like milk and aluminum foil, so it’s impossible.

The local supermarket introduced self-checkouts, and within three months, a gate was created that won’t open unless you show the receipt.

If it were ordinary people, it would likely lead to bashing the old folks.

In the end, it seems that using a method of passing one point at a time reduces trouble…

I was unsure whether my payment was processed at the convenience store’s self-checkout, so when I scanned the barcode again, it charged me twice.

Well, you’re not really judging whether it’s settled or not, are you…

Do you sell clothes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter?

Isn’t it basically something seasonal?

After the self-checkout was introduced in our neighborhood, I started to think that having to show the receipt to the staff standing nearby before leaving the store has actually made things more troublesome.

If it’s around 5 points or less, I can understand, but if you have a basket full of items, I don’t care how many points there are.

>>60

Stop it.

Heattech and Airism are sold in large quantities year-round.

Oh, I bought a whole basket full, and there were some that couldn’t be scanned.

When you’re rhythmically going through a lot of products, there are times when you wonder if you just heard a sound, right?

I judge based on sound, so I don’t wonder if it rang or not.

If you just place it, it becomes 0 yen, and something seems off when paying, right?

>>67

That’s why those who speak up do so politely and come in male-female pairs.

I remember that the Nitori nearby only had things to place.

I was surprised at how convenient it was the first time I went.

The store was able to tell right away that the amount in the basket didn’t match the price.

>>71

There is a sensor at the exit that checks for unscanned items being taken out.

At the checkout stage, only the purchaser knows whether there are any missed checks.

It must be hard to implement a placement-only system unless it’s a store that exclusively sells its own products.

If there are people lined up behind me, I feel the pressure to finish quickly, which makes it even more stressful.

>>78

I have to finish it, but as a normal procedure…

“Do you need a bag?” The option appears, and just by placing it in the basket, the amount is displayed immediately, so just pay the money and you’re done!

There is no procedure or space for the buyer to recount or transfer the items in the cart.

The electronic tag itself is somewhat like a reflector, so it’s fine if there are one or two, but when they overlap multiple times, sometimes the one at the bottom… you know.

I don’t like the fact that I can be held responsible for this kind of accounting approval.

I went to the self-checkout at Mister Donut, but I was confused about how it worked.

Just by placing the tray, the items and prices appear.

>>82

The donut probably doesn’t have a tag, right? Is it recognized by the image instead…?

These things can only be improved gradually through multiple system upgrades to reduce errors little by little…

Uniqlo gets so crowded without this, so I hope they can somehow improve the accuracy.

It seems like I might flip the page next, but I don’t know how to pay! I might end up showing that typical behavior of the elderly.

I deeply feel the evolution of the times while experiencing a sense of ease in life.

>>109

I’ve never seen a bad character assessment of Tetsuya Chiba; he’s famous for being a humble and good person to everyone.

The exit sensor is excellent.

Learn from the cash register sensor.

>>88

Of course, the exit sensor is not 100% accurate.

By implementing a two-tiered check, we can significantly reduce leaks.

>>88

Speaking of which, recently I haven’t heard it ring when I enter stores anymore.

I no longer have the thought that I haven’t even picked up the products, let alone settle the outstanding items.

>>94

Since there are almost no false responses with tags that are the same as other stores, it’s quite stable now.

It’s not Uniqlo, but there are pricing mistakes sometimes, so I lightly check the receipt or the register display every time.

If it’s a middle-aged man living alone, even if he buys things, it would only be a dozen or so items, so it wouldn’t leak out easily, but for a big family, it would be a lot of items, and they probably wouldn’t notice it at all…

Sometimes I’m afraid that the type that reads by itself is too sensitive and might scan twice.

>>93

I kept getting double scans at the 100 yen store self-checkout and had to redo it multiple times.

>>97

Same product

I am registering.

>>93

I’ve experienced that at the self-checkout at the supermarket.

There doesn’t seem to be an option for cancellation at the regular register.

It was a hassle to have to call the store clerk.

I always check while scanning at the self-checkout because I don’t want to lose money by making mistakes.

Reading the same product twice happened at Daiso.

Cancellations can only be done by the staff, so I have to call them, which is a hassle.

>>99

That cancellation call is the same elsewhere, so please improve it…

>>99

I didn’t understand why they were saying “die, die” at the Daiso register in Death Maker.

I see, that’s how it is.

The self-checkout at Sushiro doesn’t support credit card payments and has a puzzling feature where you have to call a staff member.

Huh? That’s surprising.

Even considering reading mistakes, I’m probably more skilled than doing the register.

Self-checkout is still in its developmental stage, so unexpected troubles can occur quite often…

I guess there’s no choice but to accept it as it is.

Ah, I see, there’s a tag check at the entrance and exit, so that makes sense.

The self-checkout at Daiso has high reading sensitivity, so it’s easy to do things like scan twice in a row.

The world has become convenient, but it still feels like we have one more step to go.

Well, if you can cancel it yourself with just a few touches… you know.

>>112

Using cash at the register tends to be more troublesome.

How much we increase the customer’s discretion will likely depend on the balance with preventing shoplifting…

The registers at Daiso really respond unusually well, don’t they?

It can be frustrating when the reading is weak, but if the reaction is too good, it can also be scary in its own way.

>>115

When you realize you don’t need this bag, if you hold an already scanned item and scan another product, it completes the scan just by passing it for a moment.

It’s frustrating that the PayPay code just won’t read.

Self-checkout systems like those from the Aeon group are probably just right in terms of balance with today’s technology.

I had it checked because no matter how many times I do it, a large number comes out.

I was told that the clothes I just bought are reacting through my bag, and I was like, no way.

You’re buying an incredible amount…

>>121

When you become a grandfather, the frequency of shopping decreases, so you tend to buy a lot.

When using a self-checkout, always make sure to collect the receipt.

What kind of reasoning is it to make the customer handle the register work while keeping the prices the same?

Cameras and AI are evolving rapidly now, so I think it’s normal to be able to sort products using images.

It’s becoming mainstream in actual factory line sites.

I still think it’s too expensive to use for the register.

The world has become so convenient.

I use self-checkout thinking that it’s easy to shoplift.

>>128

The early ones were loose, so we introduced them at the supermarket.

There are cases that have been removed in less than six months.

Humans need to move according to the convenience of machines.

Does Chiba Tetsuya also use Uniqlo?

>>131

Aren’t the only Japanese people who don’t use Uniqlo super wealthy?

>>134

Maezawa uses Uniqlo too.

Use ZOZO.

>>134

It’s obvious, but rich people also use Uniqlo.

I don’t want to use Uniqlo! Only someone with some sort of biased ideology would say that.

The actual number of shoplifting incidents is increasing.

In Japan, it’s still a safe country because the cost of theft losses is cheaper than the labor costs for staffed registers.

Shoplifting is inherently likely to occur within the system, so the only countermeasure is to increase the number of incidents detected and continue to apprehend offenders.

Even rich people use Heattech, don’t they?

Only Uniqlo can sell that, right?

>>139

There are similar products besides Uniqlo, but they aren’t luxury items to begin with, and there’s not much advantage to buying them elsewhere.

Uniqlo has Heattech and Airism, so even rich people usually use them.

It seems that many rich people actually wear Uniqlo as their everyday clothes.

Are self-checkouts trying to secure personal information with the assumption of shoplifting?

There are stores where cash is not accepted at the register.

>>142

Simply put, machines are cheaper when cash is not accepted.

Because we have to attach devices to read physical banknotes and mechanisms to return change.

>>159

When new banknotes are issued, there’s the hassle of updating the machines as well.

In places like movie theaters and self-checkouts that aren’t used that frequently.

I still can’t use the new banknotes!

>>169

There will also be a cash check at the register during the settlement after closing.

It’s understandable that the scan stops with milk…

Well, convenience stores aside, the frequency of bulk purchases at supermarkets is probably off the charts.

Not suitable for batch reading.

Does milk really have that kind of power!?

>>147

I might have lost to the milk.

>>147

Even wireless signals have issues when there is water in between.

Aren’t they holding back with that patent they stole? Uniqlo.

The nearest Uniqlo is 50 km away.

>>149

It’s 30 kilometers away… too far.

I wonder if Teacher Chiba isn’t using this color illustration PC…?

I don’t usually say this, but if this happens at my first UNIQLO self-checkout, it would increase my distrust…

In the self-service at the supermarket, it’s hard to tell if a mistake is intentional or not, so those who want to abuse it will do so…

“What are we going to do with the bag?!” I was confused at first.

Sometimes I don’t know where the barcode is when I’m self-checking.

Sometimes seen in the traditional method used by staff.

So after this, that old man is the one who ends up going to prison and starting boxing, right?

Indeed, since calculations are done by machines, we say goodbye to touch payments.

I don’t have time to reflect on it myself, so I don’t even notice if I’m making mistakes…

In that sense, cash provided a safety net where you would think, “Wait, this is the price!?” when making a payment.

>>160

I don’t think the payment method matters, rather than the reading method…

I wonder if there were cases where too many were loaded.

There are a few elderly people who leave thinking they’ve completed the payment even though they haven’t.

>>165

Most cash registers these days only require the cashier to insert cash into them.

There’s no difference whether you let the customer do that part or not.

I wonder if there are people who sometimes don’t pay for themselves.

If you realize that the receipt isn’t coming out, you’ll understand.

It feels high-tech the first time, but it will be over before you know it.

By looking at the security camera, I can tell whether he is intentionally deceiving or if the grandfather is just using it incorrectly…

Because it can get stuck with cash.

I feel that being completely cashless would make management easier.

>>171

You won’t need to prepare any change, either…

Technology that cannot be established outside of Japan.

It’s too impossible to read the tag with the basket still on, it’s ridiculous.

The staff can just tear off the tags and hand them over.

>>173

Isn’t that the reason for that method, because you don’t want to do it?

Honestly, I really like the Uniqlo format.

I want everything to be in this payment format.

A fully cashless system might be convenient, but in reality, there are stores that have stopped accepting cashless payments.

>>179

It would be nice if they introduced RFID.

>>179

It’s not without cost, so whether to include it or not is certainly a factor.

>>184

There are quite a few cases where people stop after they have started.

There may be times when users cannot keep up or need support.

>>188

I think that’s part of the cost.

>>190

Sorry.

I just wanted to say that it was a case of saying whether to include or not, and stopping after including it.

>>190

Are you not good at Japanese…?

Can I read the continuation somewhere?

>>180

You can read it on Bikkomi, but since it’s updated on Fridays, the second half will be over the weekend.

But I think it would be quite painful to be seen being taken away by the staff in front of people who realize that it’s Chiba-san in the last panel.

>>181

It’s really a painful scene.

Chiba Tetsuya is depicted as shoplifting…?

It seems that this “Beat de Tohi” has been trending lately.

Hmm, garbage system.

Are you still wearing clothes?

I don’t wear clothes and I don’t eat.

I’m grateful that a store I frequently visit, which only accepted cash, now supports the local electronic money system of the prefecture.

I used to work as a store clerk, but honestly, it’s better without self-checkouts or automated registers.

I want everything related to cashless payments to stop.

>>197

However, due to the declining birthrate, part-time workers are not gathering.

Rather, isn’t it that people in their late teens and twenties don’t want to use Uniqlo because they want to be told they are fashionable?

There are self-checkout machines that change the sound if you scan the same item twice in a row.

I think there seems to be an overwhelming amount of things to learn and tedious tasks to handle as a convenience store clerk.

I want you to do your best.
