they could use them all. but they allow self checkout to have a line. it’s ok though, the self checkout discounts usually help offset.

    the self checkout discounts

    Thee what now? You must live in some magical non-Capitalist hellhole if you're actually getting a discount for ringing yourself up!

    Shit, I can't believe I whooshed that!

    (To be fair, my local supermarket has scales and cameras to prevent most shenanigans... so I have to sneakily pocket small but expensive items while still walking around the store!)

    Be careful with that. Some stores will let you walk out even if they notice, until they have enough evidence to nail you for more than just petty theft.

    the discount for me is time saved not waiting in line to have someone else do a job I can do myself

    Do you also want the restaurant to pull out a seat and push you in? do you want the petrol station to pump your own petrol for you? do you want to go to the bank so they can transfer money for you? I cannot for the life of me understand why some people are so hung up on self checkouts

    Self checkouts are great. When they work. When something goes wrong, I get to wait 10 minutes for a clerk who's busy checking out items for other customers. They're mostly fine for checkout with few items, though.
