The failure of self-checkout technology

I prefer to talk to a real human.

1. Human is nicer than cold robot 2. Liability to scan items is the stores responsibility

Number 2 is a big deal. Another comment in this thread is by a shopper who has been banned from a store for having missed an item. This might be a good reason not to use self check out.

Both are true, #2 is huge. I would like to add: 3. Self-checkout displaces workers to the benefit of stores and the detriment of society at large.
