Eventually you probably won't have much choice, at least when it comes to new media. Are there any grocery stores near you without self-checkout machines?

- Freak_NL 2y agoOddly enough, some actually do hold out, like my local Lidl. No idea why, but as I never use them anyway, it doesn't impact me (in fact, having them impacts me, because it invariably means slower regular service). Of course, there are the chains which are now removing self-scan machines again because the attrition rate (i.e., theft by 'accidentally' not scanning items) exceeded the savings for too long. Dutch variety shop Action did this in a number of their stores.
