I like self checkout. I struggle with talking to people and it can really drain on me so it’s a godsend to have if I only need to run in for a few things.

Valid take.

That being said, I’d probably prefer human checkout unless we can get a more-automated form of self checkout. Self checkouts have gotten a lot better since the early days, but human checkers are still faster than I am at the self-checkout and if a human is doing the checkout, I can dick around on my phone or whatever.

Cost savings are nice, but cost savings on my groceries just aren’t a massive concern for me. I don’t have strong feelings about the human interaction one way or another.

Maybe one day, we can get some sort of robotic arm setup that can do checkouts as well as a human checker, and then I’d quite happily be in the “machine” camp.
