self-checkout is hit and miss. I really really really wish for 2 things:
1. "beginner" flag on some self-checkout systems
2. An actual roped walkway up to the self-checkout area, like in a bank. You get to the front, you choose the next available area. I've lost track of how many times someone was 'behind' me, but walked past me to grab a kiosk I was walking towards. insane.
There's so many ways self-checkouts can be improved, I don't believe for a moment the arguments against it when I read "people prefer live tellers". There are a few live tellers I prefer, but I don't prefer live tellers overall over self-checkout, but self-checkout is implemented so poorly at so many stores... argh...
