A good cashier/bagger is much faster than self-checkout. If I only have like 10 items or something, I use self-checkout, otherwise I go to the cashier. Granted, I rarely get a fast cashier/bagger anymore; makes think the company does that on purpose.
My local supermarkets have a portable barcode scanner that you use to scan products as you take them from the shelf. When you're done you just use self-checkout to pay and you can leave immediately.
I haven’t had a good bagger since they started using the cheap plastic bags. The worst was before they started outlawing them and I had checkers put 2 or 3 items in one bag and then start a new one so you end up with 12 bags for 30 items.
Good baggers would plan out your heavy items for the bottom and bread and eggs on top and fill those paper bags well. They got rid of those employees first.
I’ve tried to argue this with my wife on multiple occasions. Especially if you have some age-restricted thing like beer or cough medicine.
