Self checkout at grocery or Walmart/Target etc. Yea or Nay?


Do you use self checkout as often as possible, or avoid it like the plague? Or somewhere in between?

For myself, yeah, I'll use self checkout when I have only a few items and the lines at a staffed cashier are longer than I want to wait, but generally I'll go to a cashier when I have more than just a few items. Why? Probably 50% of the time, SOMETHING goes wrong in my self checkout experience. Something scans twice, or won't scan, or a coupon I'm using doesn't get read when I drop it in the slot, or the reception area doesn't sense the weight of something I just put there so it doesn't register for the next transaction, etc. etc. In which case I end up calling the multi lane attendant over anyway and the process ends up taking longer.
