How on earth do people struggle so badly with these? i understand needing occasional cashier assistence, but some people manage to be completely mystified at these magic lanes each and every time. And yelling at the cashier because you think she is ignoring you by helping other people does not help things.

    I get pissed off when my kids lean on the scale, otherwise they're the only thing I use. But I live in a tiny town full of... people that don't know how to use things like that so there's never any wait and I have my choice of all 6...

    Around my area they are always crowded and full of people that woke up feeling like they could do anything, but then couldn't.

    Heh, as I wrote the OP I was thinking "God damn I hate people."

    And I'm not sure why. They just always seem to be doing something stupid.

    This makes me slightly glad that my work, a supermarket, doesn't have one of these. We'd just end up going back and forth helping people that can't figure it out.

    Self checkout is evil. Eventually, the stores will be nothing but self checkout and all those jobs will disappear. Replaced by robots. Yay.

    Lol:). I have never really been upset about this. Usually there is at least one person who knows what they are doing.

    I loathe self scan chekout lanes. They're wicked annoying. I don't like how the bags HAVE to sit in the teeny tiny bag area otherwise the computer yells at me "PLACE YOUR ITEMS IN THE BAG!" a billion times because I moved one bag to my cart to make room for the others.

    I read this thread right before going to the grocery store, and I could not stop giggling while I was in line. There is an insane amount of drama in the self-checkout lane!

    The ones around here break every 4 customers it seems. I refuse to use them as they put people out of work.

    I agree. These lanes had the potential to solve a number of mankind's greatest problems, but instead, they have created several new ones.

    However, I will continue to set a good example every time I go to the grocery store to pick up a few items for lunch with the hope that others will pick up on it. I still have hope.

    Let me guess, you were at Wal-Mart?

    I love them for a few items, but it drives me crazy when someone with a full cart uses them.
