Who on earth says this? Never have I heard someone complain about self-checkouts. It's faster than waiting in line for fifteen minutes when you just want to buy a slab of butter! And someone complaining they have to do the scanning sounds like a lazy, entitled jerk.

Yes, the convenience of the machine having an error and forcing me to wait while a supervisor wanders over to fix what I, or the machine screwed up.

I fucking hate these things. If they want me to ring up my own groceries they can fucking pay me.

Edit: and to those that think these are the greatest, you're all outstanding, grade A suckers.

I am quite introvert, but I had more than enough bad experiences with self-checkouts, I won't touch them with a ten-foot-pole. Then people say: "But you are a computer guy, this should be your thing" - No, thanks. I recognize crap when I see it, especially in my line of business.

As an introvert i hate it. It's always loud and temperamental and really if anything i should get a discount for using it.

Once did a late night Walmart run for a bunch of random stuff. Only to come up to no cashiers. Luckily the sweet girl at the self check out saw my panic and used a bar code scanner to get me on my way

When it just scans tags as i push my cart through I'll consider self checkout. Otherwise it just feels like I'm working for free.

Burn the self checkouts to the ground

Slow, buggy, cramped germ covered self checkout POS are far more frustrating than dealing with a pimply cashier and are worse for the community as youth have fewer job opportunities.

Haha corporate profits are ok as long as i can be introverted xD

5 updoots for all my socialist friends out there
