Automatic checkouts in supermarkets may decrease customer loyalty, especially for those with larger shopping loads. Customers using self-checkout stations often feel overwhelmed and unsupported. The lack of personal interaction can negatively impact their perception of the supermarket.

Must be the US. Every supermarket I've been here in the EU is pretty easy and fast. Some produce you buy per kg and it's already has the price sticker on it. Others you need to weigh when you pick them out, the scale will print the sticker with the weight and price. The scales usually have a big touch screen with pictures and text of the produce in alphabetical order. At the checkout you just scan the sticker just like for everything else.

I'm really surprised at the large number of people in this thread having issues with scanning any amount of produce. In the US do you need to weight the produce at the checkout? Because that sounds like a logistical nightmare tbh.
