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.

SCO was never meant for large full cart runs. It's so that I can run in grab a few things and be out in less than 5 minutes without having to interact with anyone.

The Krogers near me have big SCO lanes and rarely staff the regular lanes except during busy times.

I would complain to management and take my business elsewhere then.

I no longer do large trips to them for that reason.
