I mean I would, but then I look over and see that the self-checkout is nearly empty and you're holding a single coke in your hand and I'm thinking: 'no'
If there was an empty self checkout, I sincerely doubt anybody with one single item would be standing in line behind you & your cart full of groceries.
Boomers are afraid of self-checkout
I’m half afraid of it because automation and the death of “unskilled” labor.
I use it anyway though. I didn’t for many years, but they slowly started closing manned lanes. After Covid they closed them entirely in my local Walmart a few hours before the store closed (when I was passing through).
I had finally accepted that clerks just weren’t going to be a thing anymore and then they suddenly did an about face because of theft. That’s what they told me anyway. They now close the self checkout and open a few manned lanes instead a few hours before closing.
You've never been to Florida!
Um, yes I have. Can we stay on topic here?
My point is that human behavior can be regional and also affected by age. E.g. There are many grocery stores in Florida that don't have or removed self checkout because the location is dominated by retired folks that won't use the machines.
