Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

    I like it a lot. It’s way quicker. Self check out greatly increase efficiency. One person can handle at least a few checkouts. Self checkouts also use way less space so there can be more checkouts than otherwise.

    Here we also often have the option of carrying around a portable scanner when shopping so when it comes to paying you just dock the scanner, pay, walk out with your prepackaged bags.

    Occasionally someone will check that you actually scanned everything but that’s pretty rare and self checkouts still saves a lot of time.

      Cool.

      The ones here are clunky buggy pieces of shit and I’d rather deal with a human with a job instead.

      But I’m all for choices so I have nothing against other people using self-checkouts.

        Over here they tend to work pretty well depending on which store you’re in

        In Lidl you have to slow yourself down a bit because the weight system gets confused if you do it too fast
