I like self checkout. I would prefer a checker if they're competent (Costco) or interesting (crazy old Asian dude at the Rockridge Safeway in Oakland), but usually they're zoned out and slow, or make inane comments. What amazes me about self checkout is how creatively awful the kiosks are. For example, receipts come out on the left, coin change comes out the middle, while cash change comes out from a black-on-black compartment hidden below the scanner.
