With a toddler in tow, ain’t no way in hell I want to scan and bag a week’s worth of groceries all by myself.

For small shops of a couple items? I’ll absolutely going to go through the self-scans as they’re fast and convenient. But when spending the equivalent of ~$150USD across dozens of items - nah, fuck that noise. Especially when having to deal with any interventions because the machine vision gets confused by what’s happening on camera, or the weight sensor doesn’t correctly detect an item added.

Give me a cashier to scan and pack any day of the week.
