I mean we can agree on some things, no? I literally want to stand there while someone checks out my stuff. I have to work to pay for stuff? Oh sweaty.

If I have to self checkout, I should get a discount since an employee was not needed.

Sure, I'm not saying it's exclusively a boomer complaint, just that boomers tend to complain about it more from my perspective.

I'm all for getting out of there as fast as possible. If I'm in line at self checkout and a cashier says "I can get you here", I'm over there.

But generally, I prefer self checkout.

That discount is negated by the higher theft rate.

If you are worried about theft, don't bake in opportunity.

That's why they removed the self scan stations. It was a short lived experiment.

Where? My region has only gotten more.

Western Europe. Pretty rural place. Self scan seems to work better in cities around here.
