I like the idea of self checkout. The practical reality is often quite bad … I’d rather deal with a cashier (cashiers in my country rarely do small talk, it’s a very rote interaction) than having to wait for an employee to deal with the self checkout’s weird issues.
Some stores have a very good self-checkout infrastructure.
For some reason, it’s never grocery stores. And grocery stores are basically 3/4 of the stores I need to visit. But it’s possible for them not to suck.
