WalMart and Staters works fine for me. No chattie cashier and lonely shopper taking up time, no waiting for the manager to approve checks, never a line, 12 machines available when there were usually 2-3 checkers.
Our Walmart supercenter has turned EVERY checkout isle into self check out, at BOTH ENDS of checkout isles there are another 10 stations to check out BOTH end stations have a cash register so the clerk can scan your alcohol, you can NOT take alcohol through self checkout a live person must scan alcohol!!
I agree. I don't like the [forced] chat with the cashier with the canned questions, and I especially don't like the bagger squeezing everything in a bag just to save a bag.
Self Check out is great. It may not be worthwhile for a weeks groceries but it is quick and easy for a few items including beer and wine
