> I like the self-serve machines. They seem to be less time consuming and make the checkout process faster.

Shoplifters like them a lot too. That is why in these self serve lanes they have to station people to watch you to make sure you ring up your own purchases. So much for cost savings.

RFID will obviate the need for station watchers.

Same here at the Winn Dixie. They always have one cashier taking care of the 3 self check out lanes. The customers always need assistance.
