Will the checkout machine ignore me if I say hello too?

I used to hate the idea of self checkout. Then I started to enjoy not having to deal with grunting, rude cashiers.

...

My issue was always with the grunters in front of me holding up the line.

I often pay cash.

What about customers who do so?

I often do use my credit card, and I DO NOT have a cell phone & I refuse to have one.

I pay cash especially when I am shopping for a neighbor.
