Good, those things are garbage
They really should be like a reverse carpool lane, two items or less.
I’d say 5-7 max but for sure no full carts
I (and other people) take a full cart through when the self checkouts are the only ones open. Asking at the service counter for a checkout to be opened, they just say “use the self checkout”. They don’t care if there’s a long line, or if people have to wait, so long as they can get away without paying people to run a checkout. I suspect that most supermarkets would completely do away with people at checkouts if they could.
And no produce, nothing that needs to be looked up or weighed.
Ugh that’s going to make all my quick runs for a single onion a pain in the ass. But I do agree that most people in self checkouts are incapable of efficiently using quick lookup. Even though it’s right there!
