| How To Close Self Checkout At Dollar General |
1. Bagging Like a Boss: The Art of the Beep
First things first, don't be that person who unloads their entire cart onto the counter before scanning anything. The friendly folks at Dollar General like to keep things organized, so scan your items as you go. The machine will helpfully beep to let you know each item has been registered (unless it decides to go rogue and unleash a symphony of beeps, in which case, a quick smile and a "technological difficulties" explanation to the nearest employee should do the trick).
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can use the bagging area to, well, bag your items. It might even help you avoid the cashier-less cashier (the screen) from judging your questionable packing skills.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
2. Payment Power Play: Cash, Card, or the lint collection at the bottom of your purse?
Once you've scanned everything (and hopefully haven't set off the unexpected item in the bagging area alarm), it's time to settle up. Dollar General's self-checkout is versatile, accepting cash, credit cards, and even your grandma's novelty socks (just kidding...probably). Follow the on-screen prompts to select your payment method, and be prepared for some mild button-mashing if the machine decides to play coy.
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
Important Note: If you're paying with cash, double-check the amount the machine asks for. Sometimes, in the retail equivalent of a Freudian slip, it might ask for more money than you actually owe. Just politely inform the machine (or the nearest employee) of its mistake, and they'll help you get things sorted.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.

3. The Receipt Ramble: Your Shopping Odyssey Awaits
After successfully navigating the payment process, you'll be rewarded with a receipt. This magical piece of paper is your proof of purchase, your bragging rights to your amazing finds (those $3 flip-flops were a steal!), and possibly even a coupon for your next Dollar General adventure.
But wait! There's more. The self-checkout might ask you to complete a brief survey. Don't worry, it's usually just a few quick taps on the screen. Unless, of course, you decide to write a sonnet about your experience with the self-checkout lane. Hey, we won't judge (but the machine might give you a funny look).
Congratulations! You've Conquered the Self-Checkout!
Now you can sashay out of Dollar General with your head held high, knowing you've braved the self-checkout and emerged victorious. Hold onto this feeling of accomplishment, because let's be honest, there's a good chance you'll be back soon for another round of bargain hunting.
