personally i prefer the self checkout. i just cant stand the frustration of those who have fifty coupons to sort through...welfare patrons with food stamps,the person who has selected the only unpriced, bar codeless item in the store, the little old lady who has to write out a check and cant find her checkbook, the old gray hair who has to discuss his life history with the clerk, the machine that has just run out of receipt paper, the kid who is slower than a snail bagging,the mother who has to control three kids and trying to pay the bill, and on and on! of course being retired and wifeless, i can select my shopping times when things are less busy!
