I've never seen a cashier who's not a trainee who's not faster than self checkout.

But that is the problem: when I go to a cashier I feel rushed to bag everything and pay in the time it takes a professional to scan everything. When I go to a self-checkout register, items are scanned exactly at the same rate that I bag them.

At the same time, there is hardly any waiting for self-checkout lines. In other words, for my taste they are better in almost every way.

As soon as groceries having dedicated baggers (or cashiers who bag stuff for you) ceased to be a thing, I felt that pressure too.
