Quote:Self serve checkouts are a good idea on paper, but from what I've experienced and seen so far it's still got a lot of teething problems.
Many of the ones I've seen are either empty because no one wants to use them, or are staffed to assist customers using them. Making it sort of a Rube Goldberg oxymoronic device.
I agree that many of them don't work too well, but I do love them. Of course I've been a cashier and am used to how to deal with most of the stuff. But if I can get to one that doesn't have someone clueless at it or is empty they can be a big time saver for me as I can still scan and bag faster than many cashiers at many stores. But yeah they are by no means perfect.
