That you've managed to have problems does not negate the fact I have as many bad experiences per year as you've had total experiences this year (this yer alone, I've used self-checkout at least 80 times ... probably a lot more)

Dislike self-checkout you want, but still sounds like a "you" problem, and not a "self-checkout" problem

Neat fact! You don't have to self-checkout at any store I've been to in the last 5 years (unless it's super weird hours ... and even then - you're probably there by yourself, so the attendant's likely to come over to "help" just to have something to do)
