Self-checkout is a failed experiment, and a growing number of stores are backpedaling on these cursed machines.

    Still, 60% of consumers said they prefer self-checkout as of 2021

    And it’s fucking weird how vocal and entitled some of the 35% are in wanting the majority’s preference to go away because they don’t like it.

      AGREED. Why does the “unexpected item in the bagging area” joke still get a laugh? My 9-year-old doesn’t remember a time when that was a legitimate problem.
