> I've stopped using self-checkout because I always run into troubles.
Kroger's self-checkout is absolutely obnoxious, they've hooked it into some machine-vision stuff to try and stop you from stealing, but it literally stops you about every third item no matter what you do.
In another store you need to place your groceries onto a weighing shelf, and somehow I couldn't figure out what to do to make the machine happy.
For produce and pastries that don't have a bar code you have to navigate through a stupid hierarchical menu and I just couldn't find some of the items...
At some point these machines hopefully will improve (just like automatic ticket machines have improved), but for now I still prefer waiting in a normal checkout line.
