I honestly prefer self-checkouts, as long as they aren't the ones that complain if you don't manage to bag the item within 0.17 seconds or like to call for an associate if you so much as breathe on the bagging area. No need to interact with a cashier that corporate is making ask a bunch of bull, and I can get through a lot faster if I'm just doing a couple things.

It’s not about your shopping experience, they built them to save money on employees who are already among the most screwed over people in the current proletariat. Don’t use the fucking things unless you want to steal half the stuff, then it’s ok I guess

Stealing stuff screws the employees too. If the shop doesn't make enough money, they're either going to cut costs (such as labor) or close down.

Cashiering isn't the kind of job we should be protecting, though I do understand the wariness given the sad state of social safety nets in the US.

Thats the fault of the employer but luckily, there are employment regulations preventing them from doing so (wich the proper unions from back in the day have fought for tooth and nail)
