I don't mind self checkout. I like that it's usually one line that feeds into all the machines instead of one line per machine.
I'm really not a fan of groceries that have one line per register. I don't want to eyeball 10 registers and try to figure out which one is faster. I don't want to be stuck behind the guy arguing over the price. Just have one line that feeds into all the registers. Trader Joe's does it and it's fine. The self checkouts do it and it's fine.
I think some people see one big line going into many registers and think it's much slower than many small lines. Those people probably think the tall glass has more water in it, too.
Agree
