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

The shop near me has handheld scanners so you scan as you pick stuff off the shelf. Then at the checkout scan a QR code on the screen and pay. Makes it super quick.

Sainsbury's has an app that lets you do that with your phone, I found it was slower faffing around with that than just going through the self checkout

Bearing in mind I also tend to buy 2-3 items at a time max and either way you've got to use the machine at the end
