They're way, way, way faster for me and funny enough at the same time I have peace of mind in that the person next in line isn't breathing down my neck while I'm putting stuff in my backpack.

You know these things are for Your convenience, right?

These things are so they don’t have to pay people to check out your groceries anymore. There’s not much convenience in them when you’re buying produce and have to go through multiple pages to find the item you’re scanning in or god forbid the barcode doesn’t read or put something in the bagging area too quickly and then you have to stand there looking stupid while an employee comes over to help you because the machine encountered an error and won’t let you continue scanning your stuff.

You know, You don't have to go to a self checkout, right?

Sometimes that’s all they have open (Home Depot) so you do have to go to them. If these companies can save a buck by having you ring yourself up, they will.

I'd rather walk out with nothing
