Do all of you anti self checkout live somewhere that gas stations still have full service? If not, do you have the same complaints about pumping your own gas?
Self service gasoline is easy and fast. Self service groceries is complicated. I only use it if I have a few items. Once I had a lot, and there was a long line the cashier. I got frustrated and said very loudly, "Help, help, this damned place is an advertisement for (their competitor)." Someone came over right away and checked out my stuff.
Now I only go right when it opens on Monday morning. Cashier checks me out. Place is deserted. No waiting.
