Same in my local area. Also I find it very good for my own usage, and there's variance of different self checkout machine systems. One where you use a remote to scan the products as you add them to cart, then just put away the remote. The other one where you scan at the station. I would say I see 5x reduction of actual people working behind the checkout. And I basically rarely wait in queues any longer. I have never witnessed a singular tech failure either.

> I have never witnessed a singular tech failure either. The newer gen hardware is much better than the old stuff and is now pretty reliable. Some of the older machines were painfully unreliable. My closest big Sainsburys only just upgraded from the original generation stuff and they perpetually had a quarter of their self checkouts broken for various reasons. I once saw them have a technician out to service all the machines one day, and the very next day 2 of them were already broken.
