Why several big-box stores have ditched their self-checkouts | CBC News::undefined
They really should be like a reverse carpool lane, two items or less.
I’d say 5-7 max but for sure no full carts
And no produce, nothing that needs to be looked up or weighed.
Ugh that’s going to make all my quick runs for a single onion a pain in the ass. But I do agree that most people in self checkouts are incapable of efficiently using quick lookup. Even though it’s right there!

I (and other people) take a full cart through when the self checkouts are the only ones open. Asking at the service counter for a checkout to be opened, they just say “use the self checkout”. They don’t care if there’s a long line, or if people have to wait, so long as they can get away without paying people to run a checkout. I suspect that most supermarkets would completely do away with people at checkouts if they could.
