I wonder how many of the people who say self-checkout is unpaid labor will also try to shame people for not returning their shopping carts.

Hate those things. Every time I go up them it seems like a quarter of them are broken so there is still a line. Also the guy babysitting the machines doesn't appreciate when I yelled at the machine "EXPECT THE ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA!". Been tempted to start randomly leaving ice cream by the machines. Oh I am sorry did the scanner get sugary syrup on it?
And now of course it is am excuse to have even less normal lines open. So the choices are dealing with crap tech or stuck behind old people with coupons.

I donno, asking why self-checkouts haven't delivered anything is kind of like asking why your cook never mows your lawn, dontcha think?
Self checkouts that require the receipt barcode to open the exit door are quite alright.
It's usually fast except for the idiots that bring their small children in there to play around with everybody else's time.
