I like the self-checkout because it feels like I’m wasting less time at the checkout. I scan everything while walking through the store so when I get to the self-checkout I just have to pay and I’m out.
The only store where I like the regular checkout is Aldi because those cashiers are fast and the belt is long.
The worst checkout system we have is in a store called Colruyt. The cashiers have to load everything from your cart to an empty cart while they scan it. It was already a slow system and it got worse since they installed ‘smart’ cameras above the checkout to scan the codes instead of using the handscanner.
Kroger had a system for a while where you could bring your own bags and they would have a bunch of hand held scanners for you to use. You just grabbed one at the front and could scan and bag right into your cart. They would spot check you when you were done. I only ever got checked once while using the system, and I had a couple of missed items. That system was a shoplifter’s dream.

How do you scam things as you walk through the store? I’ve never seen that before
