Agreed - that's been a huge annoyance to me as well. What's worse is many of the self-checkout stations around where I live used to accept cash, but the stores have been transitioning a larger and larger proportion of them to card-only. Another annoyance I've run into at one store in particular is that the self-checkout machine no longer pre-calculates the tax amount. Now, I have to hit the pay button before I'm given the true amount due. The self-checkout machines are getting worse over time. It's quite reminiscent of how ATMs have evolved.
