Self-check out lines are total friggin junk, and a total failure. They tried to put them in the local K-Mart. The stupid thing won't let you proceed to the next item until you place the one you just scanned in a bag. EVEN IF IT WON'T FIT IN A BAG! It just repeats "Please place the item in the bag" until you ready to smash it and burn the store in the ground. I have seen them at Ralph's too. The most expensive supermarket in California. Gee I gotta scan AND bag my own friggin groceries? At least Food 4 Less passes on the savings when you bag your own, wheras Ralph's tried to pocket the difference while forcing you to be a "member" so they can track everything you buy and sell the info to advertisers.
Automatic checkers are a joke.
