Nobody Likes Self-Checkout

As long as it works right, it's great. Especially with a small amount of items, I can get checkout out and on my way quickly.

Spot on. Self checkout shines when it’s for 2-3 items. I wouldn’t pass a huge haul of groceries through it. The more things you buy with self checkout the greater chance of some weird bug like missing barcode, not knowing where to select esoteric non-scan items etc

Also the self checkout areas are never designed to haul a cart through. It's stupid to haul a ton of stuff through there.

There's a few in the store near me that are basically just normal lanes with the cashier area flipped around. They're great other then the fact you just halved the amount of scanning/bagging work power you have.
