> go stand in line with everybody else if self-checkout bothers you so much The last time I bought something I got through the human-staffed checkout much faster than anyone got through the machine-staffed checkout. I'm starting to see cult mentality that the self-checkout must necessarily be faster or more desirable, and that's causing people to put up with longer waits for them. Also when Visa went down in the UK, the grocery store I was shopping at only had self-checkout machines. None of which worked because of the Visa outage, and the machines didn't accept cash. So there's a problem when the mentality of "the self-checkout is clearly better" gets too ingrained in the minds of pointy-haired bosses.
