That and age-gated items like alcohol and [some] medicines. If the one human managing the self-checkout horde is busy, you're just left waiting.

    Somehow Costco has managed this well (as has Sam's Club).

    Costco always has sufficient ID checkers in the self-checkout, and Sam's checks your ID as you leave the store if you do the Scan-as-You-Go feature.

    Quick and easy for both.
