re: #294 gwangung

I am not as down on self-checkout as other people; I don’t mind them.

But the articles shows a systemic flaw in most business thinking (it happens time and time again), I wonder if it’ll ever get compensated for.

self check out is good and can be faster if:

you dont have a lot of items or multi-quantities
you know they are all labeled and scannable
you know how to use the self checkout lane (scanner gun, quantities, payment methods)
the waiting line’s not too long

grocery stores are generally more complicated because a greater percentage of fresh produce, weighing, having to look up codes by the pictures, etc

home depot etc can get more complicated when you start dealing with large carts of lots of things. then a checker can scan much fast than the average customer - especially with quantities
