The grocery store by my house has their self checkout volume set to 11. I don't want to be yelled at by a machine.
I do not like them at all, especially when I have a lot of produce to weigh.

My introversion and social anxiety is so estreme, that self checkouts make me imagine what I would do if I mess up something, or take too long to finish, or imagine people observing me and the way I interact with the machine.
Damn, I got a bit of anxiety just by writing this. The feeling is similar to using a computer while there are people constantly looking at my screen.
Cashier is one of the worst job you can. If machines can replace us for hard work, it's for the best.

I absolutely hate these. My local Aldi started doing this and the lines are longer than ever as a result. People who get paid to check out your groceries move faster than the customers themselves.

Especially at Tesco with Scan&Shop. I don't even need to scan the items at checkout, just scan them as I shop.
agree so much :D
Wegmans just discontinued their app that let you scan your shit from your phone. I'm so pissed off that it got abused and they cancelled it.

It's annoying how a lot of stores ask you to join their club and get their credit card (as If I don't have enough already), before letting you into self-checkout.

I just hate them because stores have replaced half a dozen checklanes with an employed human being each (sometimes two if they had baggers) with one minimum wage paid person watching over 20 machines. It's so blatantly disgusting to me, personally.

i went to target the other day and they had it designed so the self checkout line emptied into 5 self checkouts and 1 normal register. i was in a bad mood and had headphones on and the lady kept trying to wave me over. was praying someone would finish up but no of course not
i happened to be buying a record so she said somewhat brashly 'you and your music huh'
look lady i don't even wanna be here
