  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Not to mention it takes twice as long because you're unloading an entire trolley onto a space that holds maybe 4 items, you're scanning, and you're bagging. There's no area to actually work and put all your shit, this doesn't even include the 4-12 times you need the person to come fix the broken machine, but that 1 person is busy fixing 4 other people's broken machines.

Something that would take you and a professional working together 5 minutes ends up taking 10+ minutes

I have absolutely never had that experience, it's always the opposite. I'm in, I'm out. The good thing is, if you don't like self-check you can go through the clerk line and vice versa.

If you have more than like three things get the hell out of the self-checkout lane. I'm so sick of being behind a person getting fifteen different kinds of produce that all need to be entered manually while I wait with my single gallon of milk.

Supermarkets in my area have had separate basket and trolley self-checkout areas for a good while. Basket ones are what you describe, trolley ones have enough space for a trolley on one side and about three or four times as much packing area on the other
