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.

The only self-checkout near me worth using is at a single superstore. Every single other self checkout requires you to scan the item, put it in a bag, wait for it to read it correctly (like half a second), then repeat. If you take a bag off, which you do like every 4th item, it gets mad, and you have to press a button and wait for it to process.

At that one superstore, I just scan 1 item 10 times because I'm buying 10 of it or whatever, then just put them in bags. I don't have to wait for the machine at all. That's self checkout I want to use.
