I don't mind them. Where I do grocery shopping there aren't any, but even if there were, I'd still prefer going to a cashier in fear of messing up something. Even if I'm somewhat introverted, saying "Hi" and "Thanks, have a nice day" isn't particularly hindering. As for whether they're job killers I'm not sure; at that same place employees that are doing check out are doing everything else around the store as well.

I prefer self checkout when I'm only buying a few items, which I usually am. The problem is when people try to bring full carts through the self checkout; that takes forever.

There's not really enough room for it. Most of them have one spot to put stuff, which as I recall, weighs it to make sure it adds up to what you're scanning. But there's not enough room for a full cart load to sit there, which messes up the whole point.

At least that's what I was told they're for. I've haven't seen one go off when there's extra weight there in a couple years now. Maybe they gave up on that part because people couldn't fit their stuff there.

As an introvert as well, nah gimme my cashiers back. Annoying ass self check-out machines, make one error and you gotta talk to someone anyway. Then gotta get your receipt checked, because how do we know you scanned everything? So now we're at 2 talkings. Just scan my stuff, cashier, please.

I identify as people.

Oh I hate those. Not because of the job taking, that was inevitable. I hate them because while when I deal with a cashier I can do some small talk, or just smile at someone and remind myself that I am still alive. I can also mask my underperforming brain with words. When I interact with a machine, it screams at me at super high volume to put my god damned item in a bag. Like OK, you don't have to warn the neighbors that I'm a bit slow. They already know!
