I never understand the press they get. As someone that doesn’t want to have a chat with a stranger about everything I buy, self-checkouts are amazing. I don’t consider it extra work. OP should look at the history of supermarkets. We didn’t use to pick items off the shelves either.
I pass the time ignoring the dangerous substance I’m handling untrained by thinking about how we stopped employing a specialists so that someone’s quarterly profits could go up a bit more.
I don’t hate self checkouts, I hate the people who use self-checkouts. The mom with a cart filled with food to feed 4 people for a week, holding a baby in one hand and trying to scan and bag with the other. The guy apparently shopping for his whole apartment complex, scanning 4 items, paying for them, then scanning 6 different items, slowly working his way through an overloaded cart. The Gen-Z narrating each item into their phone for some reason, also struggling to bag items single-handed.
One of them isn’t bad, but two of them will strangle the entire kiosk farm, and make it seem like everyone is a self-absorbed idiot. Never go grocery shopping on a weekend morning.

Same with pumping gas. Self serve is the norm in so many places.

You don’t need a tucking specialist to pump gas lmao
Is this a type of drag queen? I agree you probably wouldn’t need one to pump gas.
Tucking the nozzle into my carussy
