Self Checkout is great. It’s time for the get-off-my-lawn old yellers to just shut up and move out of the way of technological progress and modern conveniences that work.

RE: It’s time for the get-off-my-lawn old yellers to just shut up and move out of the way of technological progress

Hey, I saw two or three older people who have something failing that makes large cart self-checkout (not one bag——a big shopping with milk gallons, big cans, case of beverage and maybe a chicken or turkey) hating to have to bend with weight to maneuver the elusive bar code to the right angle many times for a cart of food. No problem when I was younger.

Go easy on us older people or....or....or... well just go easy.😇

Where I get my groceries there is never a wait to check out longer than a minute, and usually none at all. The checkout girl rings up my groceries as fast as I put them on the belt. Meanwhile the bagging girl or guy is loading the bags with groceries and putting them on a cart. She's usually wrapping that up just about the time I'm scanning my credit card. Then she carts my groceries out to my SUV and loads them in the SUV.

Explain how self-checkout could possibly improve on that experience.
