I absolutely agree with all those points and I'm glad self-check oot exists, however... When you stand in line for 10 minutes at the hardware store to get up to one of four kiosks, and something scans as an invalid UPC. Now you're waiting for one cashier that servicing four registers. Or you're at Target and there's only four self checkouts open. Zero regular lanes and you've got a cart full of groceries You've just spend an hour curating. Each one of those checkouts is able to handle about two bags.
Fuck Walmart. With that said: the local one has huge flat spots (bigger than a normal checkout actually) with no scale for their self checkout, it's perfect
I'm not advocating for there to not be normal lanes. Both have their use cases and yeah if I have an assload of shit that I can't be fucked to scan, I'll go to a normal lane and deal. But an overwhelming amount of the time, I just want to enter, get my shit, and leave without being hassled.
