self-checkout is worse in most ways than cashier-assisted checkout.
It is nevertheless a preferable experience in 90% of cases because it is faster.
I don't even need to read the article to know why it's everywhere - it's because it is cheaper than hiring the number of cashiers it would require to make checkout an equivalently fast process. And I (and many others) would rather be at home with my family sooner even if that means I occasionally have to argue with a machine about whether or not I put my groceries in the bagging area.
