Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

I'm with you about the cashier. I don't see how having somebody working an extremely mechanical job is a good thing for them. It must be so depressing.

I understand that people need to earn a living, but using people to be robots is a waste of their potential. At least with self checkout it's a bit more dynamic for that one person monitoring several checkouts.
