I guess I'm the opposite. The sensory nightmare for me involves having to interact with strangers, and self checkout offers the utopian promise of avoiding all that. But it fails only too often, as the slightest problem brings the clerk over. It's a bait and switch for my introverted ass.

    But that's the thing, different people feel better in different methods, so why can't we keep both and let each one choose? Some would even use both methods in different moments Why does things be always forced into others because "it's the future"?

    That makes sense. I was raised Southern [USA], so I can fake polite conversation with the best of them. If anything, I'm too chatty if the checkout clerk gives the slightest sign of talkativeness.
