Once you get the hang of self-checkout, its a great alternative when you have a few items you want to take out the doors with you in a hurry.

It's fast if there isn't a technically challenged customer ahead of you.

It's only a matter of time before they have us sweeping the floors and unloading the trucks.

True, unless all the self-checkout stations are clogged with those who not only don't have the hang of it, but also don't seem to have a clue.

Wait until you have shop and scan lie we do at Albertsons here.
With that even full orders are faster than the checker...by far.

Unless you have a bunch of dimwits ahead of you in line.
Amazingly, that seems to be the case for me about 50% of the time at the Ralphs...
just across from UCLA.
Maybe this does say something about public education.

Yup and I used to be deadset against them at first but it turns out, they really do help. Of course, alot of bugs need to be worked out, I have noticed the machines are really fussy and always insisting that you are trying to rip off the store when you are actually doing it correctly. They need to get that fixed since it is highly annoying to be constantly told you 'have unauthorized items in the bag' when you really don't.
Still, local Safeways around here have stubbornely refused to install these machines and the result is that whether you are buying 1 item or 100, you will be waiting in a long line as only 1 checkout stand out of 15 is open and checkout clerks are constantly being called off their breaks to come help out. Safeway needs to get with it.
