I like having both cashier's and self checkout available l. If I have a lot of stuff I want to put it on they conveyor and have them ring it up, but if I only have a couple things I can get in and out a lot faster doing it myself

Yeah that's basically it. I find dealing with the machines when you have lots of stuff to buy is such a pain. But for one thing. Sure I'll use them.

What I don't like is that I don't get any sort of discount or reward for using the self checkout, it's like, you want me to do more work and the price is exactly the same? Screw that I'll use the manned lane.
