I hate waiting in lines almost more than any other "chore" in life. I'd honestly rather file a tax return. I find that in my city self-checkouts tend to move much faster. There is often a machine available already, so no wait at all, and if not the waits are much shorter. So for this reason, self-checkouts have been a wild success for me. What bothers me about a lot of self-checkout machines are the annoying attempts to "up-sell" me on stuff; in quotes because these hoops that you need to jump through before paying are not always trying to literally sell you something. No, I don't want to scan a loyalty points card. No, I don't want to donate to your charity. No, I don't want an email receipt just print it please. And I don't care about whatever announcement you want to shove in my face before I can pay. Just let me pay and be on my way already FFS.
