Do you live in Oregon or NJ? Was wondering if your opinion applies to self serve gas stations also (it's ok if it does or doesn't, just more food for thought).

Do you live in Oregon or NJ? Was wondering if your opinion applies to self serve gas stations also (it's ok if it does or doesn't, just more food for thought). This can also extend to changing your own oil, or doing your own landscape work, cleaning house, etc. Personally I hate having to use the self checkout (typically stores lately have only had one cashier open, with 20 people in line). Especially if I have a larger cart of groceries. A handful of items is fine, as it strikes a balance of (in)convenience and speed of checkout. In fact, there are many things I hate about shopping -- you have to first put items in your cart, then take them out of the cart and put them on a belt, then put the bags back in the cart, take them out again to put them in your car, then take them out again at home, and finally put everything away. This is why I now shop at a local grocery store that doesn't use the conveyor belt, instead the cart goes right up to the cashier and they take it directly out of the cart, then put bagged items directly in another cart lined up on the other side.
