Just an observation, parking, self checkout, payment terminals, etc are examples where the general public is forced to interact with "enterprise" style software, as in software that's not bought by users and so ignores their needs and prioritizes what business buyers want. Anyone who works with such software at work (like SAP) knows it's UX is garbage and it's not for them. But now the same model is being foisted on the masses.

Have you been to a Uniqlo lately? Actually good self checkout. You just dump your clothes in a bin and it scans everything. Like black magic compared to typical self checkout systems.

  +1 to this. Uniqlo’s checkout app is an amazing app if only for its absolute simplicity and reliability. This is a model for all these apps to aspire to. We can only hope…
