What the stores are doing now is opening up more self-checkouts and less cashier checkouts. They want to pressure people into those self-checkout lines to eventually replace cashiers. You may have four or five people in lines at the cashier and nobody in the self-checkout line.
Only mentally retarded people and shitheads complain about self-checkouts.
Before self-checkouts were a gleam in any managers eye, checkouts were a pain. During busy periods, you'd have to wait a long time. And, you'd be annoyed when you saw another line move faster, or if you were stuck behind a retarded customer who takes "forever".
With self-checkouts, I rarely have to wait more than a few moments to checkout. And, some stores are allowing phones to be used as self-checkout tools, meaning never having to wait to checkout.
Don't worry, stores will keep at least one manned checkout lane for the mentally-retarded customers who have problems swinging an item over a scanner and dropping it into a bag, you know those idiots who are challenged enough by swinging an item over a conveyor belt and dropping it. You should really pay someone to do your shopping for you (Walmart know offers that service) and STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, it's sad of you to drag you butt through the isles and having to load your cart yourself. It's like your trying to put workers out of a job.
