I’ve seen several of these articles over the past few months. Someone is pushing hard to make self checkout seem bad. If it wasn’t for self checkout I’d absolutely hate the grocery store. Lines fucking suck. Self checkout is a more efficient line because it usually feeds many machines, rather than being 1-1. Not only that but I can do self checkout in about half the time it takes any normal cashier to check me out. I know exactly the stuff I picked up, exactly the way I want it in bags, and exactly the order I need to do things in.
That may be the case, but how often before self checkout became available did you go to the store and of the 15 check out lanes there were maybe one or two open.
That’s the massive difference. With self checkout there will be as many as 12 machines running simultaneously which means that everybody gets out of there so much faster

But you get lines with self checkout. Longer often because customers are slower than clerks.
