    Yeah I’m not paid to use your stupid machine properly. I generally avoid self-checkout and never use it if I have a manually entered item. When there are no full service registers or only one, you know I’m going to be extra sloppy with the self-checkout.

      At a certain point you’re just denying yourself the savings. Go get that informal employee discount!

      I’m against what Walmart especially has done by remodelling stores and removing their checkout lanes and replacing them all with self checkout.

      but I have nothing against a store having a couple self checkout lanes.

      Cause they are nice to have if you only bought one or two things, and don’t want to wait behind a full cart… or if you are buying something you are personally embarrassed about and don’t want to have a cashier see.

      Self Checkout should be a very minor option valuable to a select few.

      not the primary means of checking out for everyone.
