    I’m faster than anyone who works there, and I don’t need to worry about long lines (usually the self checkout is the faster option). The time saved is my payment.

      I would be faster, if the tills didn’t have a bloody delay after placing the item in the bag, before it will scan the next one.

          “Unexpected item in the bagging area.” “Please place the item in the bagging area.” “Unexpected item in the bagging area.” “Please wait for assistance.”

            This was funny like a decade ago when it was commonplace.

            Stores in my area solved that at least 6 years ago, maybe even earlier than that.

      How can you be faster when you have to both scan and bag everything, whereas at the human checkout you only have to bag?

            No, the point is you perceive them as slower because when you rush you can feel it things feel snappy, you can emotionally feel your speed further and it is unfortunately socially acceptable for you to openly shit on retail workers as lazy, stupid and incompetent in a classist insult.

            This is the same phenomena as when older conservative men who have gotten used to being in control of everything cannot actually physically restrain themselves from micromanaging whatever they see people doing infront of them because they can’t handle their irrational experience of impatience not having the companion emotional experience of rushing at the task.
