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.

    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.
