        This is why I always use the cashier lanes. I can goof around and check my phone while I wait. The store can pay somebody to check my items out

      You think that’s bad, did you know some stores make you pick the stuff up from the shelves instead of the worker doing it for you!

      Yeah, I’m not sure why I would be bothered by having to scan my own stuff, especially since I get through self-checkouts much faster. I value my time more than saving that physical action.

        I beg to differ. I don’t have pay attention in the normal checkout - that time is fully mine.

        In the self checkout that’s time I can’t use on anything else.

        Its specifically because I value my time I avoid the self checkout unless I am only picking up a couple things.

          Ah yes the valuable time you have to spend standing in line, especially since where I’m from it takes longer to use regular checkouts.

          I’d rather do the scanning and be out there quicker.

            I mostly use the spare time to post on lemmy. On avg I probably get one more post in than the avg lemmy self checkout enthusiast.

              I get back to home sooner where I can utilize my home PC to post with extra horse power

          really depends. If you are a busy buiseness person, sure. but if you just stand there and wait for rhe people infront of you, you might as well do the self-checkout if its faster
