    My only critique of self checkout is, when the machine has an error, or if I’m buying alcohol, I have to wait 5 minutes for someone to come fix the problem because there’s 10 self checkout kiosks, but only one employee tending them.

      That and if your buying more than 20 items and it’s a scale.you know after about half a cart it’s going to start bitching at you.

      I just don’t use self checkout when buying alcohol or big carts since it’s too cramped. At least at all the stores I’ve been to the attendant is always available so I never have to wait if something goes wrong. Maybe it depends on how tech savvy the area you’re in is?
