YMMV wildly. Walmart of all places generally has a good ratio of self checkout to actual cashiers, but there’s this annoying trend with a lot of the local stores where they have only 4 self checkouts period but will only ever have one, maybe two other checkout lanes operating. Doesn’t matter if there’s a line stretching the full length of one of the grocery aisles, 2 non-self checkout lanes and that’s it.
I like it a lot at places like CVS and Walgreens where I am usually only grabbing one or two things and bolting right out. I don’t like it at grocery stores. All these hold ups because people are buying booze, a barcode is having trouble scanning, someone can’t find the barcode on some weird packaging, people having to search fruit and vegetables so it can price it by weight correctly. Just gums up the works lol
I love self checkout
It’s so much faster than waiting in line to pay and I don’t have to talk to anyone if I don’t want to
