The old implementation was fine. This machines are great for getting people with a small number of purchases out of line and out the door. But that wasn't enough, now they feel the need to have only the self-checkouts. Turns out? It stinks! They bottle-necked their own ability to take customer's money for no reason.

And making self-checkouts for less than 10 items and keeping actual cashiers for many items must’ve been too complex of an idea
