Self Checkout

DaveXA said

I think it depends. Like the Safeway close by. It has 12 self checkout registers. That's enough to where you'll have 1 or 2 stuck at a monitor and the rest are processing at a reasonable pace, so unless the store is stupid busy, it goes fairly quick. They also changed to a max of 15 items for self-checkout, and that also helps.

That said, not all stores are the same.

I do the vast majority of my shopping on Amazon or other online sites. The only place I really buy stuff from in person are the grocery and the pharmacy so my experience with self-checkout in the last 10 years or so is limited. I don't do it at the grocery because it's always a bunch of stuff for the weekly groceries and there is no self-checkout for prescription drugs. And the closer grocery I go to for a few items at a time doesn't have self-checkout.

I'm sure there are places it works well, and I recall it working okay at Home Depot, but most of the places I go now it's not really an option.
