I prefer my self-scanned shopping over putting every single item in my cart twice at a conventional register.
It sure takes longer because scanning while shopping is still slower. But the advantage of packing my stuff once the way I want it, makes it worth it.
Aren't you still putting every item in your cart twice by using self check out?
No, my favourite store has hand-held scan devices, so I can pack everything the way I want to from start to finish.
Only when I buy a handful of things I use the stationary scanner at the self-checkout.
