<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26573145, member: 27832&quot;]Around here, I shop at Food Lion, Harris-Teeter (part of the Kroger kingdom), and Aldi.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aldi runs nearly everyone through self-checkout, and the self-checkouts don&#039;t accept cash. But they were the first store to post about a penny shortage, and that they&#039;d be rounding totals for cash payments in the customer&#039;s favor.</p><p><br /></p><p>H-T followed soon after, with signs saying there was a shortage and asking people to provide exact change if possible. Their self-checkouts silently round in the customer&#039;s favor, and did so from the beginning. It doesn&#039;t seem like they had an issue updating the machines.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think Food Lion had a sign up about the shortage at one point, but their self-checkouts are still providing cents as change. I <i>have</i> been held up at checkout there in the past, but that was when the self-checkout had run out of <i>nickels</i>. I was hoping the supervisor could just hand me my change and then settle it up between her register and the self-checkout, but no; I had to wait while she went and got a roll of nickels and <i>dumped it into the machine through the normal coin hopper</i>. THAT surprised me; I thought the machines had to be fed separately, but apparently not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
