This surprises me. I regularly get in line and fully complete self-checkout before anyone who was there when I started scanning, even though I'm typically checking out with more items. What's causing the struggle? Every one of these works the same at every store - scan barcode, place item on the weight plate. Repeat. Press pay button, pay with card, whatever, tap/insert.

> scan barcode, place item on the weight plate. Repeat. Press pay button, pay with card, whatever, tap/insert. scan barcode, place item on plate mostly works except when barcode is crumpled or something. without barcodes it's a more of a crapshoot. Usually more than 1/2 of my basket doesn't have a barcode (fresh produce, etc.) Maybe the ones near me are just too sensitive to weight variations. Oh and one of them really loves to scan a points card 2x, then try an apply the second read as a product and fail. Every time the machine gets confused, you have to wait for an attendant. All things being equal, the cashiers are faster than self scan. If the lineup for cashiers is longer, it can still be faster, but otherwise it's slower in my experience.
