1. I hate those machines.

I refuse to use them and do my best to avoid stores that have them.

Thanks for posting this!

2. I have never used them..

I have seen them being used at the Downtown Safeway but avoided them. Thankfully they have not installed them at my local Safeway as yet. I agree with the statement though, keep people employed!

3. Thank you.

My local grocery store has just remodeled, and they did not include a self checkout lane. I am grateful for that.

4. I always go for a checkout with a live person for that reason. nt

5. They've never been for my convenience.

6. I refuse to use them. I'm forced to at gas stations because there ARE no attendants.

If we comply with the bullshit and use those machines, we won't have clerks at all anymore - just like the gas stations. Fuck, the PA turnpike is going to fire all of its toll booth personnel and go completely cash-free. We're not talking small potatoes here - that turnpike runs from Philly to Ohio. They already charge more for cash customers, but it's a major loss of jobs coming up. And I only use the ATM when the bank is closed. Otherwise I go to the counter.

Hell, I'm only 49 but I'm an old fart.
